[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]On my DSLR I use a SanDisk Extreme 60mb's 16GB UDMA card it takes a licken and keeps on ticken. The first real money I ever spent on a card I think it was 60 bucks a year ago. My camera really seems spunkier. Seems quite self assured. I think its happier. I had a cheap card which made me turn off and on the camera. And it wasn't red it was green. Not a good color for cards. I'm sticking with red SanDisk cards for now on. People on Nikon lists say " Supported is different than working." My camera supposedly doesn't "support" a 16GB card. A fact that had I known that when I bought this for 60 bucks would have worried me. Despite all these people saying that everybody they know uses 16 and 32 gb cards in their D700's. Now I am part of that "everybody" as its been a year. But I'm not getting a 32 gb card as I cant fell this 16gb card. I bet this same card if its made now cost half as much as in 30 bucks......
