SD cards
 

What brand of SD card are best I saw a 8gb for $199. at best buy but
thought that was too much

Re: SD cards
 

I've never had a failure using PNY, Kodak, or SanDisk SD cards in my
Nikon, Canon, Panasonic, Kodak, or Fuji digital cameras. I did have
one Kingston SD card fail, which was replaced at no cost by the
manufacturer.

I personally prefer several 2 GB SD cards instead of a single 8 GB
card. The Best Buy price is extreme; you can get 4, 2 GB cards at
around $20 each, for a total of 8 GB at $80.

That is way overpriced. At B&H 8GB SD cards range from 70-180$, the later
one as a set with a card reader..

If you look around the internet, you can usually find SD cards for about
$10/GB.
However, when you start playing around with 8GB cards, it is important
to check on the Speed of the card. It should be at least 100X and
preferably 133-150X or more. When you start downloading 8GB to your
computer, a slow card try your patience.
Try http://www.newegg.com for good prices on memory cards.

4 x 2GB sounds a much better policy to me.

Sam, do you know that your camera (or whatever) can take 8GB SD cards?

1gb cards are available for about $10 - do the math.

I saw ads for 2GB SD cards for under $10 after rebate. I suspect they
will be giving away 1GB cards soon.... Sigh.

Still recall when I bought my Kodak DC210+ - came with an 8mb card -
daughter and wife got me a 32mb card for Father's Day - about $60.

Yes. The way prices of SD cards (and others) have gone down reminds me
of a certain large ship about 1912. Now I read of an advancement in
fabrication of the chips that may increase the data storage 1000 times
with minimal increase in production cost. Imagine a 1TB card for $10!
Give it a few years...
