Obviously, it depends what size you want. To stay under CAD100, you're
looking at 8GB cards or smaller.
In the 8GB range, you have
SanDisk Ultra II 8GB 200x (30MB/sec), ~CAD40
Lexar Platinum II 8GB 200x (30MB/sec), ~CAD40
Transcend 32GB 133x (20MB/sec), ~CAD60 [*Future Shop (and possibly
Best
Buy) only]
The next jump up in either capacity or performance puts you into the
CAD100 range.
