Shop smart and take your glass with you from body to body.

I've got several different brands of cards (including Sandisk and Lexar) and I've never felt the urge to rave about whatever card I'm shooting with at the time. What I will do is rant if one ever fails but after more than 50,000 shots none have.

Also TBH I've never noticed a perceptible in-camera speed difference between any of them. Out-of-camera I'm not particularly concerned about a few extra seconds one way or another.

I'm with Bwana here. I have Sandisk, Verbatim (which I bought from a reputable dealer) and I had Transcend (also bought from a reputable dealer). The Sandisks I use with my 40d (because I bought them with the camera). The Verbatims are used in my missus's 350d (because I bought them with the camera) - taken over 4000 pics. The Transcends I sold with my first 350d - I took over 12000 pics with them and the guy who has the camera has taken another 2000 odd pics with them.

I don't mix memory amongst the cameras as it messes up the file numbering. My feeling is all the memory comes out of the Lexar factory anyway ;)

Yes, it is imo. Most of the cellphone shops only sells Sandisk SD memory - seriously $$$ stuff. Never buy it. I prefer the Transcend/Kingston/Lexar/etc makes more.

Yip, it's some stupid thing with Canon (dunno about other manufacturers). The camera will look at the card and if there are pics on the card, it compares the last file number with the one in the onboard memory. It will then take whichever one is higher.

Unfortunately, both pdf manuals I have (350d and 40d) are secured so I can't copy the relevant paragraphs :mad: 350d on p67 and 40d on p72. There's been lots of discussion about this on both POTN and DPreview. (It would be interesting to hear your experiences with two 400ds, but it did happen with my 350ds).

I got it
If the replacement CF card contains images recorded previously, the file
numbering of the new images might continue from the file numbering of
the existing images in the card. If you want to use continuous file
numbering, you should use a newly-formatted CF card each time.

I guess I've never noticed it because I always format the card after importing the images.
 
Can anyone tell me how good a Integal Ultima Pro 8Gb (class 6) is ? I've checked their website and they seem okay, wanna know if anyone has used them before ?
