What CF card do YOU use?
-
Sandisk Extreme III (4GB)… Sandisk Extreme III (2GB)… Sandisk Extreme II (2GB)… and Sandisk Extreme II(2GB)…
http://www.7dayshop.com or http://www.MyMemory.com
extreme IV 2 gig & extreme III 1Gig
I dont go above 2 Gig, as thats two many pictures to lose by either a card failing or losing the card somewhere
I saw there online http://www.memoryc.com/flashmemorycards/cfcompact.html?Brands=Transcend&Capacity=2Gb anyone used that make before? They are well fast
i wouldnt buy anything but the Sandisk cards
I have a bunch of others and the buffer on my camera runs out of space much quicker, even where the cards are ment to be the same spec.
Yep, Sandisk, Sandisk, Sandisk… don’t dare think anything else.
A guy I work with, who is kinda semi-pro (sells celebrity photos), swears by Sandisk. Says he’s been let down a few times by other brands.
Sandisk for me too, come to think of it I have never used anything else.

Kingston and Lexar are equally reliable and I use their 2 gig cards for more than a year. Not one of them had any problems and in my D200 they are almost as fast as my Sandisk Extreme IV 8gig. For general use I think Kingston is the most economical and best choice. On the elara.ie they are usually really cheap (if there is any on stock).
Just asked the friend at work what brand he had problems with… Lexar. He now uses Sandisk only.
2 x 1gb Lexar Professional, 1gb Sandisk Ultra and 2gb Sandisk Extreme III.
No problems with any so far. [fingers and toes crossed!]
has anyone used the Transcend cards? I heard they are made in the same factory as the SanDisk ones
Most of my cards are Sandisk Extreme III’s but I do have one Lexar and two Transcend cards and haven’t had any problems with any of them. It’s my understanding that both Sandisk and Lexar cards have a lifetime warranty, so that if they “wear out” you just send them back for a replacement (I’ve never had to test this or check if this is indeed true).
I have a Transcend.. got it free with a camera.. only call on it as a last resort, haven’t had any problems with it… noticeably slower than the Sandisk…
