What brand memory cards is everyone using?
 
I'm in the market for some higher end SD and CF cards right now but I haven't ventured off far from Kingston, Sandisk or Lexar. What do you guys use right now?

Future Shop has these 16gb class 10 Duracells for $25: Duracell 16GB SDHC Class 10 Memory Card - Future Shop Exclusive : SD, SDHC & SDXC Memory - Future Shop

It sounds a bit too good to be true when most of the "name brands" are at least double that price.

get sandisk or lexar from B&H. they're cheaper even after duties and taxes.

i just picked up an 8 gig Lexar Pro CF 400x from London Drugs. it was only $10 more than B&H, so what the hell. very noticable difference from my 200x cards.

picked up a patriot class 10 16gb SD card at NCIX for about $25, also picked up a kingston class 10 16gb at Fry's for $22 down in the states for use in my D90

Sandisk or Lexar. Can't go wrong with them.

Been using sandisk all my life. Recently bought a 32 gig transcend from amazon. Been flawless.

Panasonic 4GB Class 10... with a shiny Quatchi sticker on it. 8GB Patriot for backup

Kingston 10x sdhc 32gb and sandisk 8gb ultra ii cf.

LiquidTurbo 07-16-2011 03:09 AM

memory is memory. Sandisk for ciritcaly jobs. If you're just an amateur, I'm sure this Duracell one is just fine.

Anyone use micro sd's with sd card adapters or am I the only one? Lol

^theyre usually like class 4 and incredibly slow when transferring. I use a Transcend 32gb 400x CF I got on eBay for 75$. Can't fathom paying over 200 on a sandisk. Even Phillip Bloom uses them.

Microsd is more expensive compared to the equivalent size and faster sdhc so it's kinda not worth it.

Lexar & Sandisk for me

Lawl that's my backup actually

Duracell and Kingston! (price over quality for me:D)

I was looking for an SDHC card a while back and settled for PNY because they give lifetime warranty and the price was good. I have a few name brand SDHC died within this year and got better replacement for them so I love the life time warranty. I was looking at the Duracell too, I've looked at the review and turned away, almost every review it got from the futureshop website said they got corrupted memory card after a while. Patriot is a good brand but they only give like one year warranty. If money is not a factor, I'll stick with Lexar or or Sandisk.

Senna4ever 07-17-2011 09:38 AM

Lexar Professional series 400x only.

RCubed 07-17-2011 10:38 AM

Patriot LX Class 10 8GB + Kingston 8GB Class 6 in the D7000.
Kingston Class 10 32GB in my in car DVR.

Everything working perfectly for me.

Anyone used or heard of Eye-Fi?
Eye-Fi memory cards: wireless photo & video uploads straight from your camera to your computer & the web.

ilvtofu 07-17-2011 03:13 PM

Kingston Elite Pro 32GB 133x with the ugly green picture on them for my 7D

for The E-PL1/NEX I use a Sandisk Ultra 8gb Class 4.

Never really had a bad experience with memory cards except for with a patriot one I got at Memory Express. Just refused to read, I didn't bother getting the warranty on a piece of crap and picked up the sandisk in HK for around $20 CAD

i've heard of them, they have to be slow though, to your computer? uploading a full 8 gig card into my Lightroom catalogues is slow,with my card reader. imagine what wireless would be like.
