My new camera is arriving tomorrow, I wanted to get some new SD cards as well.
Shopping on Amazon for the SanDisk Extreme Pro 32 GB 100MB/s $13.35 2.39 GB/$ also $12.29 64 GB 200MB/s $15.38 4.16 GB/$ also $15 128 GB 200MB/s $24.10 5.31 GB/$ also $23 256 GB 200 MB/s $48.60 5.27 GB/$ also $40 512 GB 200 MB/s $79.70 6.42 GB/$ also $69 1TB 200 MB/s 197.05 5.19 GB/$ also $188 Something weird happened, I was looking at the 512 at $69, ordered 2 and it switched me over to the page for them at $79. The $79 version is said to arrive Wed, March 8, the $69 March 12-15. Sold by "sales for you" and fulfilled by amazon First of all I am simply boggled by how cheap SD memory has gotten. Now there's something weird where if you change the number you order, the price and delivery will change. I can see a couple of advantages to big cards besides price per GB. The first is that the only time I lost a bunch of photos was when I was shooting at the Monterey historics, ran out of space on my cards, swapped them and when I got home one had disappeared. I probably dropped it when I thought i was putting it into the used card pocket of my camera strap. The other is that with solid state, you're limited to the number of write cycles, so the less of the card you use at a time, the longer it should last. On a trip, however, there are serious disadvantages to having too many files on a card when you're copying them off of the card onto a computer each day. I'm one of those people who doesn't like to erase my SD cards until I get home from a trip. But $.16 per GB?
