Memory Cards and Cameras
Friday, 26 March 2010 20:51Okay, I got a Rebel (XS/1000D) recently, and I got a SanDisk Extreme (30mb/s) card with it. Well, $50 for a back-up card (since that's the cheapest and smallest) is a little steep after spending that much on a camera.
So, I'm curious on those with a DSLR (preferably that uses SD cards ) can answer this, or offer some suggestions:
I've seen the SanDisk Ultra, which is half as fast, and for half the price. Would I really notice the difference in the speed? I'd like to have more memory for the camera, plus a back-up so what happened today never happens again (left the house, with the camera, went to take a picture and No Card is blaringly obvious ).
So ... should I just suck it up and spend $50 on another 4gig card, or can I spend $50 and get a 8gig with a SanDisk Ultra (I prefer SanDisk because the other brands we've tried always end up getting corrupted ). Note: I can only use SD cards in my camera. It does not accept anything else but.
Thanks!!
