| Member Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 43 From: Portland, OR My Camera: Canon XSi | SDHC cards/memory cards in general: does brand matter? I am about to buy a SDHC card, I would like to buy a 16GB class 6 one. I have found a couple, ranging from $80 to like $170, I believe, all are "16GB Class 6 SDHC" Brands are: Patriot ATP I just wanted to know if it's possible for a cheaper SDHC card to be, essentially identical in performance and reliability, and also if anyone on here knows of either of these two brands. Thank you all very much. michael |

i would like to avoid that, though, having a bunch of cards to swap around, even though I know a lot of photogs do that.... guess i'll try one of these or go with something really well known like, idk, Sandisk or the like.... | |

| Administrator | I use the Transcend ones, cause they are the cheapest 266X CF cards.
