i would agree with everyone else i use the sandisk extreme pro's and never had an issue with them ever, ive used cheaper brands many moons ago and well you get what you pay for :) ie: the fail! i have heard good things about lexar but i have no experience with their cards so cant comment but a few collegues use them and rate them quite high, Ive stuck with sandisk simply because they have never let me down.

thanks everyone ..
I guess I only have choice between the 2 sandisk.. I will go with the 32 gb for now , and wait for another sandisk cf on sales ..
need to throw my kingston away , so sad

Pay more for the better card. That way you won't ever be sorry. Losing pictures is not good and doing so to save $40 stinks. Especially depending on which body you have that you just spend $$$ on. When you decide remember that once you lose the pictures you can't get them back. If you need the space I would get 2 - 32GB cards over a single 64 for the reasons listed above. If one fails you don't lose everything, but you want to have enough space for a day of shooting or whatever. Plus you always have a backup if one stops working while shooting...a camera with no memory card = paper weight.

You don't have to fill the card up . it just nice to the extra capacity for those rare occasions, when you are already up to your neck "in muck and bullets" when the action starts

Yes that's a fair comment, but if you're paying a sizeable premium for a high capacity fast card, it's a bit of a waste not to use it. I find I can shoot a wedding all day with a 16GB card in slot A handling the jpegs, and a 32GB one in slot B taking the RAW and video files. When I bought them 2 years ago (SanDisk Extreme Pro 90MB/s CF) there was over £150 difference in the price, in fact 2 of each cost me nearly £1000!! I must have been mad :-)

I would go with a 16GB card and increase the speed to 90MB/sec or faster. I think for video the 16GB Capacity90MB/sec (600x) Speed, UDMA-6 Compliant, would be best as without the faster speed, videos may stop recording. This could be a factor when shooting high FPS as well, although this is only my suspicion. This is what they call it, I believe. SanDisk 16GB Extreme Pro CompactFlash Card. And if a long video is what you want, go for the 32GB card.

I would add a caution, do not purchase an inexpensive memory card for your Pro camera body. Reading the threads

sandisk extreme, get the newere 45Mbs version

SanDisk also, but although you're right sevencrossing, I personally find myself closer to spraynpray's reasoning. I don't think I'd be happy to have 64GB of work in one place. Just my personal opinion though, never had ..........no I won't say it!

I stand behind SanDisk all the way. I truly believe they make the best memory cards in the market...Period!

sandisk SD Ultra 64gb

imho changing cards mid shoot is not a good idea, so if you shoot a lot of pic in one session get 64 gb

+1 Sandisk.

64Gb is too many images in one place IMHO, even if they are .nefs and on a D800.

Sandisk Extreme. Simply cause it's the standard these days for quality and reliability. Customer support is great too.

There are 3 cards are on special ,, need advise which one is better for my wallet and my D800
thanks
