Which SD Card?

I need a SD card for my 60D (which I am in the process of ordering right now). I know I've read posts about certain cards and how they need to be of a specific class to shoot video. What do you guys use? -Katie

+1 on the sandisk. I use the CF version of the extreme and extreme pro.

Okay. So is Kingston brand a no-go?

also, I used their CF cards in my D60 and according to the cameras previous owner..it's 15 + years old and it just now broke on me. Quality brand right there!

I've never used kingston. Cost wise, you're gonna be in the same ballpark. For video, as long as it's a class 10 card, you should be all set. You'll probably want something in the 8 or 16GB range cause the video will eat you capacity up pretty quickly.

Okay. There's a Kingston 32gb for $37 and I believe a Sandisk 16gb for $35. I'll go for the Kingston but I don't want to end up with a crap card. They are both class 10. I probably have a few odd 1 gb laying around for back up as well. (:

I think you'll be okay with the kingston 32.

I know kingston is pretty big in the computer memory market. Unfortunately, I can't speak on their behalf when it comes to SD/CF cards.

Okay. I'm on my way out the door, but I think I can spare 5 minutes to look over reviews.

Yeah. I'm going with Sandisk.

Good call!!!

I think B&H has the 16GB Extreme for $29.

Good choice. You figure that there has to be a reason why the SanDisk costs double per gb over the Kingston. I just bought 2 SanDisk Extreme Pro 16gb class 10 (95mb/s read) cards for about $70 each for my new 60D.

I've got both Lexar and Sandisk, I like them both equally. However, I have had a Sandisk 4GB Extreme with corruption problems (low rate failure though, not unusable). Sandisk was great to deal with. I e-mailed them the issue, sent my card and they promptly got me a new one.
