A friend has asked me to see if i can purchase (apparently hard to get) 128mb memeory card for his digital camera when in Bangkok...

Is this sort of thing available at Pantip Plaza?...or any other suggestions appreciated....

Panthip if anywhere, but there are a lot of snide memory cards out there, a lot. And I don't just mean in Bangkok. A lot of the online stuff is re-badged made in Taiwan rubbish that doesn't work. Don't try and save too much on memory cards.

a 128 MB card.. Lots of media cards available but that is so small a card.. I have a 1GB card in a phone !!

Pantip will have SM cards.. Ebay is probably a little bit cheaper tho.

Thank's for replys,..Personally don't know much about them but friend said he was having trouble getting one and specifically wants 128mb...
Found one on Ebay but when i looked at sellers history he had only sold 2 things previously and both times the buyers paid but never received there items so gave it a miss...

Always take camera with you to the store and test it.

I'd be suprised if you can buy one that small these days.

If iremember correctly a 1GB is about 2300

SM memory Cards are available to a max size of 128 MB. They are used less and less.
Maybe that's why he want you to look around in Los.

Cheers,

SmartMedia cards are hard to find even in Pantip Plaza. Everywhere you go it's "no have".

Globally, SmartMedia cards are getting pricey: best idea is to buy via eBay.co.uk They're real cards (Fuji, Olympus etc are made by other manufacturers anyhow) and most sellers are OK feedback-wise, and some are actually located in OZ.

Thank's for the help guys, think eBay will be the best go and probably a waste of time looking elsewhere...
