Are these cards good and bestest in the world for a 40D??

Hurry b4 Fajitas closes the thread.
That's if his online I heard thru the grapevine that his Mac has died.


*A friend is about to order 'em online for me.

Nothing too good but cant go wrong for the price i would recommend getting a sandisk extreme 4 for when you shoot sports so the buffer doesnt get clogged up,Thats card is fine for general use

challengemaster

LOL

No.

Get better ones from SanDisk for cheaper..

helios

Personally, I wouldn't. Go to www.mymemory.co.uk for a 4GB Sandisk Extreme III for the same price...

theres no way you will use 8gb in one go. simply no way your talking a couple of 1000 images are you going on any long holidays soon?

AnimalRights

Yeah I appear to have fecked up, I read on some other thread City Exile mention what I thought were these cards, just noticed it could not have been as their were dearer cards!

Well Music fests but guess 4gb would be enough.
I shall now choose one!

Not if you shoot raw.

dazftw

4gb should be enough plus it will be better quality of card

hmm yea I didnt think of that.. but 4GB, how big are raw files? My 350D does 7mb ones thats 585 images on a 4gb card. Still alot of images.

If you've a genuine question, why would I lock it?

Look back over the past few pages and count the extreme amount of locked threads

On topic, I'd go for genuine Sandisk 4 gig. Worth the difference.

I said I use 266x & will replace them with 300x
There's no way I'd buy 133x

Shooting at the prodrift event this weekend, I got 420~ RAW pics out of the 4gb Sandisk Extreme III cards I have.

sasar

On 40D raw is ~10-15mb

Fajitas I do love you yes.

I don't shoot Raw at this stage of my career.

City-Exile

There are multiple RAW settings on the 40D.

Those cards are well outdated!
I had Extreme III in my 300D 4 years ago!

Well, obviously I'm talking about the highest quality.

Actually Fajitas I remember now! why I thought the thread may be locked 'cos I'm sure this type of question has being asked lots of times.

CabanSail

7dayshop do the Extreme III at a similar price


I just don't get how RAW is something you progress to. I wish I had shot RAW from the start as I could have used some of my earlier stuff more now.

AnimalRights

Yeah getting them from there, they're actually about 3 pounds cheaper.

I don't understand it! Takes me all my time to learn what I know at the moment!
Sure I don't even have PS!!

Ricky91t

Canon does give you a raw utility?

AnimalRights

Yeah they do.

At the bray airshow i took about 250 photos in an hour, but im still gonna stick with 1Gb or 2Gb cards. You can get 32Gb SDHC Cards these days which might do for travelling etc. but, you must always bear in mind that no matter how good the quality of card, memory fails.

And there is never a good time for it to fail. So taking 20 secs to change a card might make you miss a decent shot or two, but what about losing a day or two of decent shots??

Just something to think about before they go and invent 1Tb cards

AnimalRights

Why I ordered two 4gb cards instead of one 8gb card noblestee.


I got em for €28 euros each online including P+P
This has to be a mistake, I know Conn's are dear but

Sandisk 4 GB Extreme III

eur99.99
