i picked up cheapo microcenter 16gb cards for $26 a couple months back, and they work great! no problems with them at all.

Same here, they're 29.99 right now... i only had a small glitch with one of them, but nothing major (it stopped recording, i switched cards and was able to get the entire clip up till the stop... i formated the card afterwards and never again has it happen)

I already have over 500GB of HA footage (I use HA so it'll be fairly compatible with any editing program windows or mac) :thumbsup:
 
I don't know about Microcenter, but I had my share of problems with AData. Patriot and Transcend are, IMHO, better ones. I have no problems with PQI, I have three 4GB cards and one 16GB card from this manufacturer.
 
A-Data is a horrible brand. They should be banned from selling in the US, anything and everything that i seen from them fails after a few weeks to a few months TOPS.

I wouldn't mind getting some Patriot or Kingston either!... Oh and i have 4 16GB Microcenter Cards (they're good like i said so far)
 
Until recently Transcend had a good reputation. Adata I've had minor problems. I've use PQI a couple of times with no problems and its a very low cost card. I've shot alot of Kingston 8gb cards with no issues.
 
When the emphasis is on cost and not on performance, it's bound to bite you down the road.

Gee, if only I could find a 32GB card for 5 bucks. That would be awesome! :thumbsup:

you could! that's what some people called hard drives back in the day! maybe an old IDE HardDrive...

Sorry just being a geek!
 
Should be cautious when you get paid to do the video, price is not everything, but your customer's satisfaction is the most important, as their money feed you!
 
You guys are way too young. Try working in an Apple reseller back in 1984. We sold the Apple ProFile hard disk for $1,995. Its capacity? Five megabytes. Yes, megabytes, not gigabytes. Five megabytes. And it was huge. Look at it on top of the Apple Lisa in this Wiki link...

*of course, by 1984 the price had dropped substantially. When initially introduced in 1981 it was $3499, which works out to $500 per megabyte!

I remember those Apple resellers in 1984 -- remember my parents buying an Apple IIc -- and the debate between buying the Apple Scribe or the Imagwriter II. I remember how my parents hoped that Apple IIc would help me in school -- and I remember spending days playing Castle Wolfenstein instead of doing homework.

The good news is that in twenty years the HMC150 will be remembered with the same condescending nostalgia as those Apples are remembered today. The bad news is that we need to wait twenty years until we can shake our heads when remembering SDHC cards with 21-24 Mpbs streams.
 
I wasn't going ALL the way back... I remember upgrading my green screen monitor to VGA 16 colors! hot stuff! My 1st real comp was a 286 sx25 with an 80MB HD, dos 5 i think?.... I know its no old apple or 8088 but it still brings me way back :)

Talk about nerd: later on I sold my nintendo to buy a 4x cd rom and sound card :thumbsup:
 
I raided my piggie bank and purchased an HMC150 and Barry Green's book. Now I'm broke! Panasonic has a rebate for their 16 SDHC, but that is going to take some time before I get it. I know I will want to start using the HMC150 the moment it arrives. Any recommendation for a 'cheap' 4GB card that I can use in the meantime?
 
I have a 8-inch floppy. And I worked with 29MB packets of 11 aluminum disks on a mainframe. Gee, I even worked with cabinet-sized reel-to-reel tape drives. Here :-)

@MadHMC150: I have an external 2x speed CD recorder, multivoltage. Bought it for $280. Need one? ;-) I threw away a 5-inch floppy drive half a year ago.
