SD Card

[Bob1066]

Can someone tell me a good place to buy SD cards that work well with the 152

Amazon might be your best bet. Be careful to only buy cards actually sold directly by Amazon though, not by some third party via Amazon (to avoid counterfeit cards).

Thanks for that

There are absolutely counterfeit cards out there. Just google "counterfeit SD card" and you'll see lots of reports. Stick with the best brand names, from authorized resellers.

Just looking at BHPhoto, does anyone have any views on these SD cards for the HMC150?

- Transcend 32GB SDHC Memory Card & USB Card Reader (Class 6) -- $ 55.12
- Transcend 16GB SDHC Card (Class 10) -- $25.99
- Transcend 16GB SDHC Card (Class 6) -- $27.99 -- not sure why this is more expensive that the class 10
- Panasonic 16GB SDHC Gold Series Memory Card (Class 10) -- $79.99
- Lexar 32GB Platinum II 100x SDHX Memory Card (Class 6) -- $69.95
- Lexar 16GB Platinum II 100x SDHX Memory Card (Class 6) -- $39.95
- Fujifilm 32GB SDHC Memory Card (Class 6) -- $74.50
- Fujifilm 16GB SDHC Memory Card (Class 6) -- $39.95

As you can see the prices vary significantly. Can you give advice/suggestions? Is there an even better, cheaper deal elsewhere? Note that Amazon do not deliver many of their items to us in Australia.

I've used the Sandisk Extreme III 16GB, class 6 and the Panasonic 16GB Gold class 10 for the last year. Knock on wood, I've never had a problem with either brand.

Sandisk often has great rebate offers too! I've purchased from BuyDig.com many times...and again, no problems.

I've used Transcend 16GB Class 6 cards without any trouble.

The only one on that list that I would buy is the Panasonic Gold. You absolutely get what you pay for. I stick with Lexar Professional, SanDisk Extreme, and Panasonic Gold.

Thanks Bucknfl, how do I check card error threads on this forum? Do I simply type "check card error" in the search bar, or is there better way?
