- Kingston 4GB Secure Digital Card for $10 (expired: 2pm EDT)
Kingston 4GB Secure Digital SDHC Memory Card for $12.35 with free shipping, and coupon code EMCAKACCB gives $2.35 off in the cart.
Secure Digital cards with greater than 2GB capacity require SDHC compatibility in your devices and readers.
Most new devices are compatible with SDHC, but if you are unsure whether SDHC will work, a 2GB Secure Digital Card for $7 will work in most devices.
5 and 6 megapixel photos consume roughly around 1.5 MB each, so a memory card can store somewhere around 650 high quality photos per GB.
