Thanks for sharing. Last Dec, bought the 1GBSD for $45. Great price!

what is class 2? will the write speed be very slow?

 

[zaxh81]

could it be a printing error? cause 4gb already $62.

I think cannot... unless your camera specs say it takes SDHC.
Canon 850 IS spec say it takes SDHC while the 800 IS does not.
But no harm in trying I guess...

I think so :think: ... class 2/4/8 means minimum transaction speed (read/write ?) of 2/4/8 mb/sec.
Well if you just need the capacity... than ok I guess ;p

Hi , Just to check you all.
Is it advisable to use SD to CF adapter on the camera ?
(Because I have 2pcs 1GB SD cards don't feel like waste it )

Not advisable for use on DSLR as the transfer speed will be slow down due to interface. This will slow down your continuous shots.

If I am not wrong, continuous shots of DSLR does not make use of memory card. Instead, the images of those coninuous shots are first saved into the built-in cache, before it is transferred into the memory card. Hope some guru could shed some light.

a faster card can enable one to take more photos before slowing down.
