A-Data 4GB SD card
I went and blinked this summer and missed the fact that 4GB SD cards hit the market in August. Not to be left in the digital dark age, I hurried off to ebay this morning and I found the A-Data 4GB SD card for about $260 bucks. Why was I up at this ungodly time looking on ebay? My boys decided that 4:45am was a good time to get up again. Anyway, $260 was a little steep to upgrade all my SD cards, but I did order one for my Nikon D50. The 2GB SD card I have in the D50 is good for about 550 pictures, which sounds like a lot but I hit the limit last weekend when I took my boys out. It shoots 2.5 FPS, and I like to shoot a lot of images as you never know when the perfect shot is going to occur. The new card should give me about 1100 shots, which seems (at this point, anyway) somewhat reasonable.
Not only is this little badboy 4GB, but it is 150X speed, which translates to about 20megabytes per second of transfer - in theory, I should be able to empty a full card in 3 1/2 minutes.
