Snaggle Von Swift Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 my sister has a 6 month old kid, and takes pictures of her non-stop. i want to get her memory cards for her birthday do brands really matter? i want to get her as many as possible for the money I have free to spend. Dane-Elec vs. Kingston vs. Transcend vs. SanDisk etc.. is one really better than the others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goraiders Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 The specs matter, the brands don't. Assuming you don't shoot in raw basically choose whatever one is the cheapest for the space. If you do or think youll be shooting pictures really fast check out the speed of the card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, glad to hear the cheapest for the space applies. and i'll check out kingston [direct] thanks to both of you for the info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadmonkey Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 because SD cards have a 2GB max capacity. Then there are the SD HC cards which hold more. If you decide that 2 Gigs isn't enough on one card (Lord knows why it wouldn't be for a camera) then be sure the camera can take the SDHC cards.

But buy.com has the Dane-Elec 2gb for $8.95 with free shipping, I'm gonna pick up like 6 of them I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snaggle Von Swift Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 yeah, i've looked around quite a bit (i'm sure there are more sites though), but $8.95 shipped for a 2gb is the best deal i've found so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
