Best 16GB SD Card?? Under $100 - Digital Camera Forums

bswain06 · 06-02-2008, 01:28 PM

I wanted to get an 16 GB SD card, but I heard cheap one can cause problems because or storage issues.

Basically, who is a credible SD maker (tested and tried)??? Is there one most people prefer for large storage??

Thanks

SanDisk is probably the leading maker of SD memory cards. Kingston and Crucial are also very reputable.

EDIT: Buydig.com has some huge rebates on SanDisk memory. You might want to check them out.

I prefer to break up my storage into multiple cards, in this case 4gb x 4, that way if one of your cards fails, you still have the other three cards. If you have one 16gb card and it messes up your going to lose a lot of data and possibly not have backup storage.

Sandisk is now offering some nice rebates on some of their memory cards, especially when you buy more than one card. Make sure to read the terms for the rebate, you can only buy the cards from a list of retailers indicated on the form to qualify.

Well that's fine if you want only one or two cards to store all your pictures on.

There are many cards with those capacities under $100.

well, i usually transfer all my photos to my notebook at the end of the day. So at max (on a vacation trip)...I'll have 40-50 photos. I just wanted to use the 16GB for videos mainly. I have an SD750.

I figured if I could store all my videos and pics on one large card, it would be very handy while im walking around.
