sd cards

[Tinca]

what are the most reliable sd cards

 

[SharonH]

I use SanDisk, I tend to use the same card all the time and have never had any problems.

 

[DonS]

I have always used Lexar myself. There are various reviews on the most popular brands. Be careful if you buy online, there are fake brand name cards out there.

I use SanDisk.
One thing I would say is to buy from a sensible source. eBay has lots of counterfeit cards for sale - I know from experience. I generally use Amazon.

Some Sandisk cards also include their recovery software.

And on Amazon, only buy from Shipped and Sold by Amazon.

SanDisk

 

[picsel]

I mostly buy Sandisk, but cannot say I have ever had any troubles with any other brands either.

 

[Haripaul]

I use Sandisk and Lexar and they have never let me down.

 

[Jerry Jackson]

Sandisk here.

 

[Stephen F]

Sandisk extreme pro, came with recovery software free which is very good.

 

[Derekl]

I just buy SanDisk cards from Tesco's Original and relatively cheap.

I agree with Don. I've heard too many horror stories about fake cards being sold on Amazon from other vendors. Not to say that it's still not some sort of risk, but I think buying directly from Amazon will provide some trust.

I have had a couple of failures with Lexar, usually bought from Amazon or a reliable (!) source. But I do have several, and more are good than not..

I am now trying out Sony Tough SD's, a bit more expensive, they have done away with that little lock slide button, which was always a bit of a hazard trip up...

That's good to know...
