Crutchfield wanted $110 for a 1 gig Sony flash mem stick that I found hundreds of on Ebay for 20 to $30. My thinking is this is where Crutchfield will make up for a lower price on the camera if they can. I checked the feedback of one of the Ebay sellers of this memory and it was 100% with many of the items being the memory.
I know many do, but I personally don’t feel comfortable buying from ebay. I use B&H onlne and they have 1GB Lexar 80X memory stick for $24.95 plus freight. Sounds like Crutchfield is
