I've only got the Ultras, not the Extreme. I started off with 8GBs when I bought my K-5, but when I was in Texas in November for the USGP I picked up a couple of the 16GB cards "just in case". At that time the Extremes (45 MB/s, rather than the 30MB/s Ultras) were a lot more expensive, but nowadays both seem to be around $1/GB. Today I'd buy the Extremes. The K-5 might not be able to make use of the extra speed, but maybe your next camera will ... Larger capacity cards mean you don't have to change them as often (a serious consideration in adverse conditions, or at big events), but it's putting a lot more images at risk should the card fail. I agree with Bruce that 16GB is a good compromise. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
