Just ordered 2 of these. Was going to get the sandisk equivalent but at this price I thought it was a bargain. Hope this helps someone :-)

If you want to learn photography, get a d3300 or 100D. If you flaunt your 36mp full frame on here while asking the difference between CF and SD cards you can expect a gentle teasing.
Now go and take some photos. :smile:

Typical geek elitist answer. Why can't someone own something and learn?
Mess up, take bad photos and enjoy.

Thanks but to be honest I'm not looking to spend that much. £30 max I think

I've bought them as a back up in case my sd card fails at a shoot. I know it slows it down a little but that doesn't concern me. On another note, can anyone recommend a decent battery pack. I need it for my nexus 5x, MacBook and iPad. Appreciate any advice. :-)

The 28Ah beast from Aukey. Find it on Amazon.

Maybe he's shooting videos using some external device. Good price though.

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/

Cheeky! Was thinking along the lines of ... much less prone to corruption than SD, easier to recover from corruption, etc.

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: )

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!

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.
