Re: what's the best deal on 8G SD cards?
- Original Message - From: "Larry Colen" Subject: what's the best deal on 8G SD cards? I'd like to pick up a few more SD cards before my trip to Chicago. It's been about a year since I researched them, and I think that there are much faster ones on the market now, when I picked up some Transcend class 6 cards. In general, faster is better, but only to the point that the card doesn't outpace the camera. I don't think it's all about listed speed. Reliability goes a long way here as well. Right now, for me, the best combination of speed and reliability is Sandisk Ultra II which are plenty fast enough for most of what I do. I do my best to make sure I buy genuine ones, which for me means I go to a retailer I trust and I buy off the shelf. The one and only time I've bought cards off the net (Patriot 8gb Class C from NCIX) is also the only time I've had a card failure.

Third, I'm using a 4GB 30MB/s version as my primary card (my other cards are slower HP class 4's) -Adam On Sun, Apr 25, 2010 at 11:51 AM, Sasha Sobol wrote: > I can second sandisk extreme III > --S > > On Sun, Apr 25, 2010 at 5:56 AM, paul stenquist > wrote: >> Sandisk Extreme III are the fastest and most reliable in my experience. >> Paul >> On Apr 25, 2010, at 2:51 AM, Larry Colen wrote: >> >>> I'd like to pick up a few more SD cards before my trip to Chicago. >>> >>> It's been about a year since I researched them, and I think that there are >>> much faster ones on the market now, when I picked up some Transcend class 6 >>> cards. >>> >>> In general, faster is better, but only to the point that the card doesn't >>> outpace the camera. >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> -- >>> Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> -- >>> 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. >> >> >> -- >> 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. >> > > -- > 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. > -- M.

Sandisk Extreme III are the fastest and most reliable in my experience.

Re: what's the best deal on 8G SD cards?
SanDisk Extreme iii used to be 20mb/sec (class 6) but now come in 30mb/sec versions. In general, you'll pay as much for a 4 GB as you would for a 8 GB class 6 model (assuming you are looking at Amazon or similar). I have not yet tried the faster card in my K200D and just purchased an 8GB class 6 to go with my original 4 GB class 6 card.

Larry, I'd like to offer a modification of your statement below. Once card outpaces the camera you'd know: 1. You're using your h/w to the fullest extent possible 2. You're not going to buy faster cards as you *know* what you need. Thus, I think it makes sense to try to find a card that outpaces your camera, but only just.
