Which brand of flash memory will you buy?

[geekbrains]

I have had strange image corruption problems in Kingston before. Since then I'm strictly on Sandisk and Lexar..

 

[frostyIntrepid]

Either Sandisk or Transcend.

Sandisk, because my 1st digital camera came with 2 pieces of sandisk CF card!!! ;p

and it has been Sandisk ever since

 

[NigelSeah77]

i use both Kingston and sandisk. No problems. = )

 

[DonnyDan]

I have all Sandisk,Transcend, Kingston and Lexar. The 1st professional card I used was Lexar at that time a 1GB WA 80X selling close to $200 LOL.

To me they are all reliable so far no card disappointed me yet. The only different is their speed but I am not that concern over speed but price and transcend offer a good price.

Using kingston and sandisk. So far its been a year, and the kingston CF works as it should. No issues whatsoever, but I still stick to sandisk for weddings and important events

Sandisk and Kingston here. Very pleased with their results.

SANDISK ftw! :thumbsup: But that's only because I haven't tried others before.

Sandisk or Lexar. My Kingston card keeps corrupting for some reason.

 

[LukaviZ]

hmm... i ever wondered about the differences... i've been using kingston, to the shock of a handful of other photographers who swear by sandisk.

historically, is it really that problematic, kingston?

only sandisk, and this reinforced my choice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr6YwI8JUvI

Price, price, price.

I voted for EVERY card mentioned. I use these cards for general purposes. I am not a pro. And there are countless stories of FAKE high end cards that fail .. esp for Sandisk.

As long as it is reasonably priced and reliable, I guess all these cards serves their purpose.

BTW I have used Sandisk (not Extreme 4 but most of the others), Lexar (not the 300X though), Kingston, Transcend, Toshiba etc ... whatever ... even brands like Ridata and some others I can't even remember (from the days of 128 Mb until now).

Never had a failure.

I'm also using Kingston CF card and have no problems so far. Besides it came free with the camera so have been using it since.

I go with Sandisk CF for my camera.

Kingston SD for backup and when I don't care about speed.
