I'm looking into the Elite Pro 50x and the Ultimate 133x in the 1GB and 2GB variety.

Anybody have any experience with either card? I've been using Ridata for years but have had recent issues with the 4GB cards. I don't know if their quality is still up to par.

I shoot mostly weddings so reliability is critical. Speed is also a factor but I'd rather have reliable...then fast.

Thanks,

Lou

I have a bunch of ScanDisk and they work great, but I recently picked up a 8gig Kingston 133X and it's just as nice and fast is my ScanDisk 3s and 5s. I would say get the Ultimate 4gig due to the price being so great of a value. If moneys tigh the 2Gig is good to

I got a Kingston 4 gig when they had the twenty dollar rebate on them.

I wish I had bought two or three

Staples and Office Depot have the Sandisk Ultra II 2gb for $25 for a limited time, no rebates. 60/66x I believe. Should be very comparable to the Elite Pros. Nice thing with Staples is that for each empty HP or Lexmark inkjet cartridge you bring in, you get $3 credit, so if you happen to have a few of these laying around, you could clear these for even less.

Thanks, but that's twice the price of Newegg.com for me. :D

7dayshop is about $48 USD where Newegg is only $28.
