FS: 4Gig SanDisk SDHC $29.99

[looniepincher]

I figure if one 2Gb SD for $15 is a good price (at Dell), then double that for double the capacity is pretty good.

[looniepincher]

yeah but that's patriot...OCZ and PNY are also cheaper but this is SanDisk.

I'm not a brand-snob, but I'll be using this for my DSLR and Nikon only recommends SanDisk, Toshiba and Panasonic. For a few bucks more, I prefer to stick to the bigger names.

Cold...this is only a class 2.

I would recommend getting this instead if you want high speed :

well, you can't say OCZ or Patriot are "no-name" brands. they've been around for a while.

OCZ has been around since 2000, and Patriot Memory since as far back as 1985, according to:

EDIT: so according to Sandisk's website, they've been around since 1988

Lexar Platinum II 2GB 60X SD Memory Card - $29.97

Nah, I wouldn't say cold...depends on your needs. Speed vs. capacity.

What most people don't understand is that for most digital camera applications, the speed is limited by the buffer, not the speed of the card. Read/write speeds only become important when transferring to the computer.

Anyone know if this could possibly work in a Canon SD700IS?

I know it only take regular SD and this is SDHC... but has anyone had experience to see if this still works?

[goldfish1818]

No it will not. I have an SD700is and tried an 8GB SDHC but I can't remember exactly if it would not work at all or only be limited to the 2GB max of regular SD. In any case you're better off finding a cheaper 2GB card for the SD700is.

[coldpower27]

Yeah for Flash Memory brands I try to stick to the major ones like, Lexar or SanDisk, those are basically the elite, other good brands are Kingston and Panasonic.

Though the prices on Patriot, A-Data, Transcend, OCZ, which are all RAM memory companies are tough to ignore.

[CanadaRAM]

SD and SDHC are pretty much two different formats in the same shell.

In order to use SDHC cards your device has to be SDHC compatible (it should have teh SDHC logo). All SD cards larger than 2 Gb are supposed to be SDHC (although there are a few rogue non-standard 4 Gb SD-ordinary cards out there)

for an extra $10 you can get the ultra II at costco, may or may not be worth it.

[kleptodathief]

i got a 4gb patriot SDHC card for sale if anyone wants...15$ OBO :)

my gps unit won't read SDHC cards! anyone know if the TOPRAM 150x card is anygood? 150x is hella slow i find!

You obviously don't know what your talking about because both of the OCZ and Patriot SDHC cards are Class 6 and just because your knowledge of small-cap technology companies are inadequate, doesn't mean they are not better than bigger companies like SanDisk...

thanks for the heads-up.

easy there buddy. never recall saying anything about any of the companies except that some (OCZ, Patriot) were cheaper (cost-wise) than others and that I have a preference for the bigger company. nothing more to it and to each his own. :)
