All are CF cards

These are used in my Canon S1IS

Notes: Have used all for over a year and no problems to date, I hope that I just didn't jinx myself.

Well I have since added the following..
(1) Scan Disk Ultra II 1.0 GB
(2) Scan Disk Extreme III 4.0 GB

also added a Canon XTi

I am thinking about getting (3) ScanDisk Extreme III 8.0 GB, with the rebate it's a killer deal. That would bring my total to 36 GB between the two cameras.

I’m a total newbie and when I picked up my camera this week I got a 4.0 GB Scan Disk Extreme III.

OMG I wish I hadn't read this. I paid $200 (after rebate even) for each of the two 16 GB Extreme III CF cards I bought 6 months ago. I had to buy them for a trip. But a formatting issue rendered them useable at only half capacity anyway so I really could have just taken my existing 8 GB cards - long story :(


My current inventory:

(2) 16 GB Sandisk Extreme III CF
(3) 8 GB Sandisk Ultra II CF

^ the 20 or so MB of free space on those kingstons has bailed me out a few times when I forgot my 512mb.

Wow, this was back when I had my A510 as a primary camera


Now I have:
CF: 4GB Lexar (300x)
CF Backup: 4GB Patriot (something like 60x)

SD for A510: 2GB

SD for car's video camera: 4GB Sandisk Ultra II

And some other SD cards just kinda floating around.

Well i have several camera's:

Nikon Coolpix L12 > SD memory > at this moment only a HEMA 2GB SD card > No Problems works good

Konika Minolta Dimage Z3 > Going to test to day with also HEMA 2 GB SD

Nikon D50 > mostley Sandisk ultra II 2 GB never had any problem with them

Nikon D70 > CF > mostley Sandisk ultra II 1/2 gb, Extreme III 2 GB no problems watsoever

olympus fe-210 > XD > fuij xd/ 256 olympus xd 512mb/ 2gb no problems

i kow form the past that sandik has good service i once to had one cf card that was loosing pictures , i send i to sandisk by mail with a letter , i received a cd with the imiges they were able to recover and a brand new sndisk card in higher capacity cf (returned a 512mb cf got a ultra II 1 gb back)

Currently in camera: (1) 2 gb SanDisk Extreme III CF
Currently on camera strap: (2) 4 gb SanDisk Ultra II
Currently in Bag: (1) Lexar Pro 1gb.

I see I had answered this one a while back (March 8, 2007). Since then, I've updated my equipment.

A Lexar 4 Gig, 300X, UDMA compact flash rides in my D300.

I have another one as a backup, along with a SanDisk Extreme IV, 4 gig (266X), and a SanDisk Extreme III 4 gig, (133X).

My bag also holds a Lexar 2 gig, 133X, and a SanDisk Extreme III, 2 gig (133X), and a Lexar 1 gig, 80X.

I figure 7 CF cards and 21 gigs of memory should get me through any shooting situation I encounter, and I'm covered if a card goes bad on me.

I have the recovery software on my computer, and have not had to use it. I hope I never do.

I like the faster writing cards for shooting action events like sports, dance, etc. The faster downloads onto the computer is also nice.

Well, since we're updating....
SanDisk Extreme III (latest) 16GB
SanDisk Extreme IV 8GB
SanDisk Extreme III (latest) 8GB
2 Lexar 300x UDMA 8GB
Lexar 266x 8GB
Lexar 300x UDMA 4GB
SanDisk Extreme IV 4GB.

64 gigs total. Useful for when I have to shoot RAW+JPEG for football with two cameras.

I have since acquired a Lexar 2GB 133X Professional CF memory card, and a SanDisk 256MB Standard CF memory card. Used with my PENTAX *ist D, I hardly use my Panny anymore. :)

I recently picked up a Kingston 266X 2 gb card, and I have to say that either that older Transcend 133X is really fantastic or the Kingston really sux because there is virtually *zero* difference in performance between the two - read or write!

Lexar 1G 40x WA - 1
Lexar 2G 80x WA - 2
SanDisk Ultra II 2G - over 10
SanDisk Ultra II 4G - 2
SanDisk Extreme III 4G - 1

I started buying from costco, and they sold SanDisk at a good price, so that's what I use :)
Then they started selling 4G for the price of 2G.

SanDisk 4GB cards - love the price, HATE the new cases.
I won't buy any more SanDisk cards at costco until I have a source of old cases.

Many people seem to have mainly 1 or 2 gb cards or even smaller which I find a bit strange. I use an 8gb sandisk extreme III and have a 4gb sandisk ultra II as a back up. I understand the idea of not putting all your eggs in one basket but I also don't want to have to open up the camera to change cards when I'm up to my waist in a swamp. I tend to clean the card after every trip anyway so at the worst I am going to lose the shots from just the one day if anything should go wrong with the card and balancing this against damaging the camera should anything get into the card slot I prefer to go with larger capacity cards myself.
I also have a 32mg that came with the camera which I keep for novelty value.

In each camera I have a card that is big enough to cover any days shooting (just about).

Fuji F40 point and shoot = 2GB noname SD
D60 = noname 8GB SDHC with 3 16GB cards in reserve
D200 = 4GB Transcend
D300 = 8GB Transcend UDMA + 2GB Transcend as reserve

At end of day I have an 80GB ARCHOS video player back at the hotel to unload my cards if needed

D700 -- SanDisk Extreme III 8 GB
Backup -- Kingston Elite Pro 16 GB
D80 -- Lexar Pro 4 GB
Backup -- SanDisk Ultra II 2 GB

Funny how two years in technology change shows up in our memory card choices. :p

For me? Just one humble 4gb Transcend UDMA 300x card in my A700. Amazing what a difference it makes in read/write times...

I am wanting another one, and maybe a backup MS Duo catridge in the 2nd card slot. At least it would keep the dust out :).

Sandisk Ultra II 4gb

In my bag: 1 Sandisk Ultra II 4 gb, 3 Sandisk Ultra 1 gb & 7 Lexar Professional 40x 1gb cards

Got most of them when shooting airshows with my Canon 1D. Never had a problem with any of them (knock on wood).

I only have one card. (very new to this)

It's a Sandisk Extreme III 4gb 30mb/s

SanDisk Extreme III 2.0 GB, 133X
Lexar Professional 2.0 GB, 133X
Lexar Platinum II, 1.0 GB, 80X
Lexar Professional 512 MB, 80X

The above four were listed in my first post. Since that time I have added:
Two Lexar 4.0 GB 300X cards, a SanDisk Extreme IV 4.0 GB, and a SanDisk Extreme III 4.0 GB.

21.5 GB of compact flash cards should get me through any shoot, even using my D300 and my D200.
