Could it not be that you see more cheapo cards because far more cheap
cards are sold than expensive cards?
Unless you know the sales ratios, you can't form any conclusions at all
from the number of cards coming through your workshop.

Yep, you'll never know what's in a sealed package, especially one that's
not meant to be opened.

the cheap cards bought by the ps brigade.

Are all SD cards more or less equal, given storage volume?
Oh god no! Not even close.
There are some very important things to know about memory cards before you
go and buy one, but unfortunately these things can be hard to find out from
the memory manufacturers.

SD cards are more or less equal. The biggest difference is the speed in
most cases. The DS can take advantage of faster than standard cards up to,
I believe, a
Some cards are faster than others. This has some meaning to the Ds. I
use a D and haven't noticed an

how fast however).
Yes you can change cards in the field, just be careful, I got to play
As a footnote to what Shel said, I can add that firewire card readers are very
fast. I paid about $50 US for mine, and it will download a 1 gig 80X card in
less than two minutes.

All SD cards are more or less equal - Sandisk is good.
Yes, once the disk fills up (or, really, at any time if you want a new blank
disk for a series of shots which would not fit on the partially-filled disk)
just remove it and insert a new one. You can just re-insert the
partially-filled disk

Hey y'all,
Thanks for this information. It was much as I expected, but it is good to
hear. I've ordered two 1Gig Utra II Sandisk cards.
Now my next task will be to keep this camera out of my wife's hands so I can
in good conscience deduct this camera purchase as a business expense!

All my cards are Sandisk Ultra II's, and I'm very happy with them (BTW
I'm using CF cards in an *ist D).
Yep, it's just like changing film. No problems at all with changing
out a full card for an empty one.

how long it takes to dump a full card into my computer that way.

Most of mine, ditto. As are two SDs I use in my Optio 550.
