I would suggest that dates are attached to all articles (on all topics) because it is obvious that some articles would have been written some time ago. For example there is an increasing shift from CF cards to SD cards (the new Canon EOS 60D is an example). The newer cameras have relatively higher writing speeds, so card writing speeds become even more important, especially when HD movies are captured – so ‘class’ of cards are now becoming an issue with the mid to high end cameras (HD movies require cards with Class 6 or higher).

For me it comes down to cost. If paying for the better card is going to break the bank then I would steer towards the lower gigabyte end. I wouldn't get anything lower than a 2 gig.

The site http://www.cameracardstore.com has a suitability guide for each card that they sell. I was quite impressed at how they advised customers not to buy cards which their camera’s didn’t have the technology to take advantage of.

Also, they have a great function where you enter the make and model of your camera and it gives you a number of recommendations, depending on whether or not you are looking for a big, fast or budget card. You can even upload a picture taken with your camera and it will return a list of recommended cards – pretty cool stuff.

I also used 16GB cards since I capture lots of videos with my Nikon Coolpix camera. I prefer to use more than one card to avoid missing that precious moments if I had trouble with a card.

I’ve used SanDisk for a few years now in a variety of digital cameras and camcorders, even USB flash drives. However, due to the sudden and unexpected death of a few cards shortly after purchase I’ve fully converted to PNY, given their impressive quality in the PC memory market.

I used a 16gb card recently on a trip to Amsterdam airport (the name should point you to what I photograph instead of the other attactions of Amsterdam), anyhoo, I was also in Sydney and in Auckland earlier in the year and using 2x16gb cards I found there was a latency to write (sandisk 16gb) on both, and that the quality was not as good as I had hoped. even shooting raw, could this latency cause this degradation? it doesnt sound feasible but it did happen in amsterdam but I had no problems in Auckland…. the air must be cleaner!
any ideas?

Why won’t my mother’s camera read pictures on my card….when both cameras use the same size/format memory card?
