Advent Calendar Day 4

Did you know that 27% of all pictures are taken over the Christmas period? Neither did I (probably because I just made that up). Still, chances are that if you have a digital camera you're going to do a fair bit of snapping in the coming weeks. If you don't have a camera then there's always Christmas (or you could keep an eye on our advent calendar - you never know what might turn up in it!). That makes now an ideal time to stock up on memory.

There are plenty of budget makes you can choose but for just a little extra you can get the SanDisk Extreme. Designed for blazing fast write times this is pro quality memory. They also come with a 10 year warranty and are designed to work in “extreme” conditions. Our test showed they can survive being frozen in ice and then boiled. The compact flash kind even survived close contact with a rough tarmac drive and 2 tonnes of Swedish engineering.

You can find full details of the extreme range on their website as well as stockists but act quickly and you won't need to buy one. Click here for your chance to win a 1GB Extreme III card - you can choose from SD, MS or CF flavours.
