SD / SDHC

Eye-fi cards are a lot of fun, especially if you have a tablet or compatible smart phone.

Why do you think they haven't made a CF Eye Fi as yet? :/

Makes no sense!

At least a Class 6 SD card for pics and a Class 10 for video.

have a look at these.

I have a couple Patriots and so far they all doing what I want

This is a 8GB class 10 ... ( class signifies lowest write speed each ie class 4 = 4MB/s etc ) .
I would recommend nothing lower than a class 6 and if you shop around you can get them at very good prices.

I ordered 1 of these to try and I must say the service from Take2 / Takealot was very quick. Have already got my card.I was first thinking they have send me a wrong product because my parcel was BIG but it was only the card.

With the exception of my eye-fi cards (maybe something you might want to look at as well?) all my cards are Sandisk.

 

[Bodega]

Let me check those out too

 

[Bodega]

Bwana For that price i cant get 2 32g cards

Many of Sandisk's cards come with a year free subscription to Rescue Pro so I make it a point to buy a new card annually.

Bwana For that price i cant get 2 32g cards

For the price of what?

 

[Bodega]

eye fi cards, btw what size do you normally buy?

They're pricy, sure, but it's what you get for the extra moula - wireless file sending - that makes them worthwhile for me.

My usual scenario is. . . in my 1D a 32gb CF card in one slot capturing RAW images and an 8gb SD card capturing JPGs. My laptop has a built in SD reader so that makes the most sense for me when I'm working as I mainly rely on JPGs. In my 7D I have a 32gb CF card typically capturing JPG, or JPG+Mraw.

I thought the Lexar professional has the best overall benchmark results?
