Are there any known problems with these lower priced, no name, SD cards ?
I can't find anything online about this.

Note also the 10.1 mp 6 x optical zoom camera for £129.99.

However I bought a pair of boots from Aldi and they were shite. So beware.

Shoe Fayre are shite as well. I like to support the small retailers, but it has to be said. Bloody awful quality and construction.

Sorry, off on a tangent there :-)
The SD card thing, there are hundreds of them on Ebay, but i'm always unsure of quality, so avoided them and found a new Fuji 2gb card for £12 which wasn't bad.
Stick "SD card review" in a search engine and you just get endless price lists, and manufactuers blurb. Search engines are crap for finding stuff like this :-( Even Steve's Digicams didn't have anything.

Btw, don't buy those tiny tripods off Ebay. I bought one the other week for 99p, and it broke :(

From another thread (by me) :oops:
I also bought the tripod that Aldi are selling for £10.99, it's a stoatir! 156cm at full height & 63cm when folded, it comes with it's own over the shoulder carry bag & has a two way spirit level & a 3yr warranty..............and the best bit? The Aldi's at the Paisley / Linwood roundabout have at least a dozen left. Honestly folks, you could not buy the components for that price!
If anyone wants me to pick one up for them just let me know.
