| 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.

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.

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

^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. Posted via RS Mobile | |

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.

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
