Hi all,

Can anyone recommend me a good memory card for my Nikon D90?

I've found the following:

Any better ones out there?

Thanks, Simon

SanDisk and Lexar are the two makes that are most often recommended. I wouldn't go for the one you linked to though because it looks like a bottom-of-the-range one that has quite a slow read/write speed.

One of these would be better IMO:

Class 2 is very slow, try to get a Class 6 if you can.

Funny how they don't seem to put the speed on the label.

Class 2/4/6 etc is the speed rating.

The '133x' speed rating seems to be meaningless, the 'Class 10' rating doubly so!

If anyone is after a Verbatim 16GB Class 6, this place have them at £18+p&p
