Adorama.com has the Lexar 8GB 133x Professional CompactFlash for $90 - $80 rebate [Exp 12/15] + $0 shipping = $10 shipped after rebate. Its 133x rating means it is capable of a minimum sustained write speed of 20MB per second, just dandy for your super SLR shooting sprees. [BizRate]

    That's an insane deal as long as you get the rebate!

    Bogus overinflated retail typical of NY photo merchants. Shows how honest they are generally. I would be leery of these "deals."

    Why is 88% rebate a problem?

    Too slow brah. Well, I guess it's good enough if you aren't doing continuous shots. I got in on the $10AR for three SanDisk 200x cards last month so hopefully I'll be getting my rebate soon.

    If it were $20 with a $10 rebate, okay. As is, this is a scam waiting to happen. Sad

    The rebate is a LEXAR rebate. No NY photo dealers involved.

    Adorama as a camera store has been around for many many years.
    I was buying from them out of photo mags back in the 70's.

    Adorma is most likely not the one processing the rebates. I didn't read the form so I could be wrong.

    Rebates are becoming even riskier nowadays:
