Very good price, can see pricing from.£45 to £74 elsewhere.
Just wasted 2 16gb cards having raw switched on as well as jpeg at a wedding, so 2 of these would be better at this price. Thank you.

Thanks, OP! Excellent price point - bought a couple. Beats B&H or Adorama (who I usually have deliver to my daughter in the US - paid equivalent of £72 for a 32 + 32 1066 twin-pack before a trip over last month). Since I'm 100mb in (75mb RAW + 25mb jpeg) for every shot, I can soon get through a card on a trip!

My Nikon D800 takes both SD and CF, why should I be buying this? (I have 128G SD in the camera just now)

I have D3s and D4s so not sure if same applies, however dual slots allows either an immediate back up of your images (mirrored cards) or dual use: i.e. slot 1 RAW, slot 2 JPG

If you have to ask, you don't need it. It does beg the question, what are you doing with a full frame dslr...?

Basically, it will make your camera quicker and more responsive.
CF can transfer data faster than the SD so your camera's buffer will clear faster following a burst giving you a slightly higher sustained frame rate. It will also make image review quicker when you are looking at your pictures.
To be honest with you, I would be a little concerned having 128GB worth of images on a single SD in case the card became faulty.
Saving the RAW to CF and the JPEG's to SD is great practice. That way, if something goes wrong, you have a backup. http://www.cameramemoryspeed.com/nikon-d800/fastest-memory-sd-cf-card-tests/

Keeping RAW and jpegs on separate cards is what I find the most helpful way to use the two slots in my EOS (Canon - solely existing so that Nikon owners have something to aspire to :wink: )
