SD Card Recomendations?

[TXRED]

Even as a creaky old dinosaur being dragged kicking & screaming into the digital age,I realize that due to the vast price range of SD cards,that they are probably not all created equal.That said,I'm seeking advice on brands & sources for 1 or 2GB cards for a trail cam.Speed isn't nearly as important to me as durability & value.Price is also a consideration,seeing as how it could walk off fairly easily.
       Thanks in advance!

i use the cheapest i can find, havent had any problems

[Tim Fishell]

The main differnce you will see is the speed the camera can write to the card.  If your just using it in a trail camera than any card should do the trick.  I havent seen any quality differences between the cheap and the expensive cards.

Thanks Dave,any probs with temp extremes with the cheapies?Anyone else add anything?

[TXRED]

Tim,that's what I was thinking/hoping.How about sources?TigerDirect.com has various brands from $7 & up.Couldn't argue with the price,just question quality.

They all work the same but some are more reliable. I have several Transcend cards that have served me well. The absolute best place to buy is  www.newegg.com

Great service and super cheap.

Thanks,Norb.That firsthand reliability report is what I was hoping for.I'll check out the link,now!

I get mine from tiger direct....no problems even at 0 degrees. Now my batteries are a different story    

You can also get good deals at wal-mart sometimes

[TXRED]

Ya happen to recall any specific brands,Dave?

[trapperDave]

sandisc(from walmart), kingston,kodak...I just get whats cheapest at the time.

I have several that I was going to sell over at E-*** but I would rather sell them to someone that will use them not flip them and resell. They are brand new with the security seal still intact. The specs on the back say that the 256MB will hold 284 pics and the 512MB will hold 569 pics when using a 2MP camera. $36.00 TYD for the works.

CompUSA has them on sale-A 2 Gig SD card-$7

[TXRED]

D.Sheppard,That's a great deal on those cards & I really appreciate the offer,but with fuel prices being what they are & my hunting grounds 100+ miles away,I'm thinking that the hogs,deer ,coons,armadillos & such could possibly fill card space a lot quicker than I'll be able to keep up with.That's the reason I'm thinking 2 Gigs or better.Thanks again to you & all for the info,I do feel more informed now.I'll check those out JL.
