Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of SanDisk SDSDH-002G-A11 2GB/15MB Ultra II SD CardCustomer Review: Tiny film Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered this along with a Nikon D40 from Amazon. Nikon recommends SanDisk and the 2 GB size seemed like enough. Some recommend the newer III version, but this was readily available and I thought it would be more than sufficient.
SD cards are tiny, the size of a small postage stamp, and yet can hold hundreds of photos. Amazing digital film. Someday, computers will replace their spinning disks with this sort of memory and that will be a good thing.
The first function of a memory card is to not fail. If it does, all your photos go away and your expensive camera will be worthless. There also can be errors that prevent things from working and make you crazy. So far, no failures or errors.
After that, there are issues with speed. Modern digital cameras, especially the DSLRs, take a lot of photos fast and there is a lot of data that has to be stuffed quickly into the card so as to not slow things down. I have not noticed any bottlenecks, even when shooting rapid fire. Same goes when downloading. Nothing bad noticed there, either.
The 2 GB card holds over 500 photos at the Large and Fine full 6.1 MP setting in my camera, according to the screen info. I haven't maxed out the card, so that may not be totally accurate. Your mileage may vary depending on the MPs you use and other settings.
Some knowledgable photographers use the smaller settings like Normal, instead of Fine, because they can take more photos on a card. They say nobody can see any difference in quality. I like the idea of using all the pixels I paid for.
With any card, it is a good idea to format after every session (after safely downloading your photos first!). This prevents errors in many cases and also frees up all the memory you paid for and thus the camera that you really paid for.
Finally, even though your card may been just fine for a long time, you should know that if you go on that exotic vacation it will fail the first day. It is recommended that you get a spare if you are doing important stuff or if you will be taking zillions of photos.
