Best memory card for Canon Eos 1100D?

[T. 12 E E D.]

Hi

Just bought a 1100D and only have 2gb memory card's from my old Dslr so need to get some decent one's asap i was adviced from the dude in Jessops to go for a 8bg memory card but it cost's £40.95, apparenltly i won't get the best out of my camera unless i buy this can anyone confirm this?

I don't mind paying the cash but just wanted to see if the dude was punting for business or whether he was genuine.

Thanks in advance

SD card?
Get the fastest you can with a reasonable amount of storage. Dont buy the one hes saying. You will get better a lot cheaper elsewhere.

Whatevers cheapest tbh. It'll take longer to get photos off and clear the buffer but the extra time really isnt all that much.

Cheap as you can, higher class means higher speed but in reality you'll hardly know the difference.

I bought a cheapo 16gb SDHC off eBay £11 iirc, it's apparantly class 10 and yeah it does transfer images over to the computer super quick, but when recording 1080p HD video it cuts out because it can't handle the write speed of the video

 

[rankins]

ebay is worth a look can get class 10 16gb sandisk for £16.99

ebay sandisk cards....... hmm...

I'd definitely get Sandisk or Transcend, best quality and cards are so cheap that its hardly worth saving a few quid and getting a lower quality one.
You'll find them a lot cheaper online than Jessops. I just bought some Sandisk 8GBs for much cheaper than that. Just be aware of fakes at 'unknown' online places that seem to have amazing deals!

Don't get the cheapest FFS - they have slow transfer rates and if you do any 720P video on your camera or rapid photos you'll notice
Got a cheap one currently in my girlfriends 1100D and every time you take a photo it flashes for 2 seconds trying to write it to the card lol

^^ The sandisk extreme range are awesome. I'd go for this one from Tonys post

As above the Sandisk extreme are what I use.

100% do not buy memory cards from ebay, too many fakes kicking about, stick to reliable sources.

Personally i normally loose a card and need a replacement quickly, so walk into the closest place that sells them and buy the cheapest semi decent branded one. I only ever notice the read speeds when im downloading huge numbers of photos. And i honestly dont hit the write buffer on the 1d (10 fps/jpg) very often at all. Im certainly not paying £40 for a card to get a few extra photos a year. Especially when i will probably leave it somewhere after a few months.

I have got to buy a class 10 card for my new gopro toy. Buying cheap once again though!

WHY?

The sandisk extreme is £17 - that's only just over £1 per mb. It's cheap but reliable, bullet proof and fast
The chinese replica/ebay shite is really awful

I've never seen a sandisk in a highstreet retailer for under £30. If i did i would probably buy it. 2 of my CF cards are Sandisk extremes, equally about 4 of my other cards are random makes from Lexar to Kingston. I have 1 Sandisk CF i bought with my first camera from Currys, which failed so got binned. Hence i dont care about cards anymore.
