NOT ALL MEMORY CARDS ARE CREATED EQUAL

[sidd finch]

A good read on the different SD card speeds and manufacturers.

........Memory cards come in many shapes and sizes, and there’s a greater variety of formats and features than ever before. All of this can make for a complicated buying process for consumers trying to find the right card for their phone, tablet, camera, etc. Lexar is in a fairly unique position in that it manufactures every major memory card format, including Secure Digital (SD), MicroSD, CompactFlash, CFast, and XQD. Digital Trends recently spoke with Steffi Ho, product manager at Lexar, about what makes one card better than another, how Lexar ensures reliability with its products, and the high-end format war between CFast and XQD.

Good info Sidd, thanks for sharing

My own rule of thumb is to check the camera manufacturer and see what cards that they recommend.

Ditto. That is one thing I do not go cheap. Usually in Nov/Dec Best Buy has cards on sale for 60% off!
