Photo Forum / General Photo Topics / Australian Photography / November 2005Memory card for Nikon D2x
In the Manual "Scan Disk" is mentioned as approved (page 248). Would the 4GB ScanDisk x80 speed be suitable? Not mentioned in my manual, possibly because of advances in technology since printed. Lexar 4GB is approved. I presume that these are Compact Flash cards? Any other recommendations from experience? I have used Ridata CF cards in the pro Nikon bodies for years - always been top performers. I'm using a Ridata 4Gb Pro2 80x in my D2X at present and am very pleased with it's performance. I got it from http://www.powerinnumbers.com.au/ Cost: AU $405.00 (Ex-Tax) > In the Manual "Scan Disk" is mentioned as approved (page 248). > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Any other recommendations from experience? I have been using Ridata for two years in my SLR, never had a problem, it is heavily used several times a week...one even went through the wash and it still works. > I have used Ridata CF cards in the pro Nikon bodies for years - always been > top performers.

SHould add though the ridata 11-1 card reader is not much, first one I had didnt work out of the box, the second one worked for 6 months....not using a Ridata one now. > I have used Ridata CF cards in the pro Nikon bodies for years - always been > top performers.

I bought two CF Cards from www.powerinnumbers.com.au - 1 gigs - as well as a bunch of 256meg and 512meg cards from them over the years. Used them in Nikon Coolpix 5000s and D100. Got an image tank from them, too. The 40-gig is kinda small now-a-days, tho. We mainly bring our toshiba laptop in the field and touch up a few photos and burning them off to either cd or dvd and hand deliver them to our clients within an hour of the shoot. -Joel > SHould add though the ridata 11-1 card reader is not much, first one I > had didnt work out of the box, the second one worked for 6 months....not [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > >> > >>Any other recommendations from experience? > In the Manual "Scan Disk" is mentioned as approved (page 248). > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Any other recommendations from experience? I might be wrong here but someone told me recently that Lexar make Sandisk cards as well as a few other brands which get badge engineered. I use 1Gig cards in all my cameras to avoid the possibility of corrupting a larger card and having a bigger damage bill!  SignatureDouglas... Specifications are good to read but When it comes to judging Digital Cameras... I'm in the "how do the pictures look" category. A few friend of mine uses Sandisk Extreme III 4 GB on their D2x with no problem. So I assume its a yes :) =bob= > In the Manual "Scan Disk" is mentioned as approved (page 248). > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Any other recommendations from experience? Here is an interesting link on the relative performance of the different memory cards in a D2x: http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/multi_page.asp?cid=6007-7697 The article doesn't cover certification, or even reliability, but it's a fair bet that if you stick to pro series cards from big names you'll be OK. I agree with Doug - using several smaller cards is a nice bit of insurance both in terms of cost of replacement and images lost. I am pretty sure that Sandisk make their own stuff, as does Lexar, and between the two of them they supply most of the rest of the industry.

That guy looks like he has too much time on his hands! |
