Best One (SD Cards)

Go to solution Solved by ALwin,

Avoid Kingstons, they aren't guaranteed to work on every camera.  I have a few Kingston 32GB compact flash cards that I purchased a few years ago (when they were still expensive), none of my current Nikon cameras want to work with them.

 

Sandisk and Lexar never fails to work with any device.  And with Sandisk, if you buy a high end card they give you 1 year access to their media recovery software for free.  A single year license code is included with each card, and the software can be used to recover data off non-Sandisk cards too.  I have a dozen of those codes still unused.

Thanks, I will consider that.
