Help...Does anyone know where to get SD-HC-XC to CF Adapter in Singapore?

[nurbisa]

I recently purchased my 7D and have a lot of SDs from my previous 60D. Not to throw all these cards to waste, i am looking to buy the SD to CF adapter.

Is this available in our market? i combed Sim Lim area and no one selling it. Even from market place is a totally no-no.

What's the price like and where to get it?

Thanks peeps.

Hi duke8448, thanks for your reply. Can i use this with 7D? sorry for this lame question.

I saw on Amazon they selling at lowest USD10 + shipping but i dont know seems that some have a max capacity that they allow which is 32Gb

I thought of getting but I have my doubts whether my transfer speed will get slowed down significantly using another "medium" ie adapter.

anyone can advise? if lossless then makes sense.

It seems performance takes a hit. And most of these adapters are Type II (thicker), and most cameras cannot take Type II CF cards, so be sure to check your camera's compatibility before making the jump. Further down in the abovementioned thread, you will be able to see one of the ways to mod the adapter card to fit a Type I slot. But do note that not all adapter cards are made the same way.

thanks for sharing. personally I would rather just sell the sd cards and get the cf card.

This gets my vote. I always preferred CF cards: more sturdy than these little SD thingies. Adapters are a fine source for trouble whenever possible..

I prefer the SD cards though. When I was using the CF card last time, was always worried I might accidentally bent the pins if I inserted the CF card at a slight angle.
