Memory Card value for money and result for D800

For CF I highly recommend Lexar 1000X CF cards. To me, value for money is to get the best I can afford, not the cheapest or the most expensive. I can safely say the Lexar is worth every cent I paid for it. For SD cards I recommend Sandisk Extreme or if you can afford it, Extreme Pro.
Of course your idea of value may differ from mine.

Lexar 1000x 32GB CF $267?:
That extreme pro should be SD card, If is CF I won't buy, cause worry to buy the fake copy
Made in China is original, If made in Chain's is different already.

HAHA made in Chain, is that a typo or really due to a fake?
But even so, Lexar 32G at that price is really unbelievable. Cos Sandisk Extreme Pro 32GB CF is retailing at that price already.
Avsquare, I bought it during the last IT Show, my friend helped me get. Warranty is local, from Convergent or something. Got receipt and box with local distributor's sticker so pretty safe.
For value, just get the sdc and forget about cf cards, ie if u dont need the dual card functionality.
For my use sandisk extreme 45 mbps is sufficient, prob half of what the cf version will cost u.
Btw if u really want cf, pls dont get brands other than sandisk and lexar, cos of compatibility issues...i had to sell off my 4 kingston 16gb cf cos of that

This is quite true.
I just received my Sandisk SDHC card, Extreme 32GB, class 10 45MB/s yesterday; bought from Amazon for just short of USD32.
Website, Amazon in the US and the card came from Germany, made in China. That's globalisation.
Hmm, that's bad.
For me, sometimes I think I would just pay for something better for the reliability..

Yes...u prob can get from sim lim at sgd40, abt the same. I am using 4 of these for raw, plus a 8gb sandisk ultra cf for jpeg....so far so good. Dont do high speed shooting so no issues. Fast enough for video also.
Actually, any card also can fail.. For Handphone, I've been using Kingston for some time, I think their microSD have been pretty good for that purpose and there isn't any failure.
For cameras, I tend to trust SanDisk. Yes, it's not 100% foolproof but afterall it's a brand that is highly recommended and celebrated by armatures to professionals alike, same as the Lexar, I think it should be pretty reliable compared to Kingston which have seen various reports of failure.
Maybe microSDs aren't SanDisk's thing? :bsmilie:
