Get a Move on It!
For all of you people wandering around with 512MB cards in your cameras, get in gear! Buy this card! I’ve used it since mid-2006 without a single problem. It writes like every other card and downloads much faster (with the right card reader). When I bought it, I paid $57, so it’s come down in price now at $49.99 plus shipping, but no rebate to hassle with this time. I just shake my head when I see gray-haired people paying twice as much at Best Buy for half the space!
So if you have a camera that uses Secure Digital cards, get this! One caveat – be prepared to return it if your camera can’t handle it. You might be limited at 2GB if your card uses FAT formatting instead of FAT32. With my camera, I can use it, but I have to use my computer to format the card. For my next camera, I’ll get a 16GB card, but 4GB usually lasts me several hours or more before I run out of space. Unfortunately, I missed the International Shooting-All-The-Time Day on Sunday because I was plowing, but I’ll try to keep the holiday going for the rest of my life.

I got a 2GB SD – I download frequently, so it’s waaaay sufficient. (Though no doubt you’re talking to your professional-ish photographer buddies who use poster-print-size resolutions…)
I remember why you originally got that SD card. =)
Oh, is that like a holiday for photographers or something?
What resolution are you taking your pictures at?
wow…I’ll keep that in mind! Does it work on all cameras?
Nick, it’s time to come clean about liking The Golden Girls. C’mon, you know you liked it ;:)
it was never really a question about whether or not i was applying. if i get the job, its going to be a question of whether or not i go back there.
are you still alive?
Oh so you’re weird too! How fabulous!
You took an entomology class? *is rather jealous* I think I would minor in entomology if it did look weird to have a Nutrition degree with a minor in entomology. Can anyone say entomophagy?;)
RYC: Hey there! No one called him vicious. Ha. She had been told that he was an observant Muslim and she was surprised to see him drinking. She was shocked because they had an earlier discussion about whether drinking was permitted in the Torah. Its always fun when you have Persians, Egyptians, Israelis and Americans in the same PhD program!
4GB! Now what would I do with all that memory? Peace.
