Best SD Card...

[SirSimon]

For my Nikon D90?

Any ideas which one would be good? Been looking at the Extreme III but pretty expensive to say the least!

Answer's on a postcard....

ultra II

Extreme III aren't that much more than Ultra II..? Couple of quid more for a 4Gb card, which is a decent size.

Edit: Sorry, I'm thinking of Ultra II comapred to the standard blue Sandisk cards. I agree with Clart then!

Clart,

Any good?

 

[Revels]

That guy looks okay but as a rule, I wouldn't risk eBay for cards. Lots of fakes about.

Also, the risk of a card going wrong is uber slim, but I wouldn't want 2000 pics on an 8GB card and it to die. I still roll with 2GB

 

[SirSimon]

22 quid for an 8GB SD seems like a steal no?

 

[planetx]

as Revs has said....be careful with large capacity cards......"eggs and BIG baskets"
I roll with 2 & 4gb max.
If you have a larger card, you get lazy and store loads of images where as smaller cards get dumped and formatted regularly.

 

[Ian]

Agreed, I wouldn't go any bigger than 4Gb at the moment.

 

[SirSimon]

He has more than 4,000 avaiable!

f**k me!!

Alot of it depends on the MP of the camera.

A card that on my 40d wasnt allowing me to put too many of my eggs in one basket is now on my 50d not allowing me many eggs at all.

I feel that on the 50d i could move to a 8gb and only have the same number of eggs in a larger basket.

 

[Ian]

Aye, it's a fair point Nick, it is all relative. The D90 has a similar amount of MP's to my 450d so that's what I was basing it on.

I do too, but not for the same reason.

I always stick whatever photos I've taken on a media HD. When it becomes full, I simply format the SD card and start again.

I bought 2 of these exact ones for my D60 and they're excellent!

I'm not sure how much faster your D90 will need for continuous but I just keep shooting away and it's always ready.

Have used them to transfer data and again have been really quick copy and read rate. I used them over my USB sticks now.
