|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board kingston or pny cf cards Scott Lukaitis, Photographer Brick | NJ | USA | Posted: 9:28 AM on 07.03.08 ->> Does anyone have any experience with either brand of cards? I need to buy some 2g or 4g cards and don't have a ton of cash to spend. I tried looking back at some of those sales that people were having a while back but nothing comes up on sale anymore. Thanks  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Half my cards are Kingston. dealram.com  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

However, in the future I will probably stick with sandisk cards because their customer service and card replacement (in case something does go bad) is pretty fast and trouble free.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

If you're looking for speed, PNY's UDMA cards are significantly faster in my experience in high-speed shooting: http://sportsphotoguy.com/all-about-cf/  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

But it really depends on the particular card. Check the performance charts for your camera at Galbraith's site, which have been recently updated, as well as Chuck's site linked above. http://robgalbraith.com/bins/multi_page.asp?cid=6007 Staples has the PNY Pro 266X cards at a decent price, if you don't feel like ordering. It's a nice card. Lots of stores are blowing out the Sandisk Ultra II's pretty cheap, but they are pretty old technology now and very slow in most newer cameras. I recommend going for at least the Extreme III. Newegg.com is usually tough to beat on price for the cards they carry.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
