OK, bit of a stupid question, but whatever.
Thoughts on one large (32 or 64 gb) SD card vs a fewer smaller (4, 8, or 16gb) cards for use when travelling?
One card- less hassle, less chance of loosing a card. Multiple cards; if one gets corrupt/lost somehow, not all data is lost..
And while we're on it, any good deals for SD cards around at the moment? Want a decent speed, as will be used with my GoPro2.
Ta, Duane.
I had one of 7dayshop's own brand SD cards die on me after a few uses, managed to get most of the files off it but it is proper deid now, so would advise agaisnt them, even though they are cheep.
I usually buy from here: http://www.mymemory.co.uk/SDHC
(I tend to use Class 10 Sandisk for my video camera)
i bought several sandisk 2gbs - 10 i think from 7dayshop
i went for many small ones as it was significantly cheaper than 1 big one and regularly backed up to picasa
lost a couple of cards at one point but had full backup on line so wasnt that bothered

I think the Extreme SanDisk card come with a RescuePro license (certainly used to) but I've not had one fail on me yet. I have had cheaper cards die though.

[quote=GOPRO website says]What size and type of memory card does the camera take?
•The HD HERO camera supports SD/SDHC [b]cards up to 32GB[/b] (any SD card over 2GB is considered a SDHC card). We recommend name brand SDHC cards, such as SanDisk, with a class 4 rating or higher.
Have you got means of creating a back-up? Recently back from a 3 month trip and I'd be horified to lose all my pics. I certainly wouldn't use one big card if I had no way of copying it. Take several samll cards so if the camera gets nicked/dropped in the sea you've still got the older pics, or better yet take a netbook so you can do the filtering and editting on the go and copy them to a stick and email the best ones home.

Transcend - cheaper and good quality
Samsung "Extreme" cards are claimed to be waterproof, so should hopefully cope well with the roughest handling in the worst of conditions. I rely on several 16Gb cards, and store them in a Pelicase [url= http://pelican.com/cases_detail.php?Case=0915 ]like this[/url] to keep them safe and sound.
Thanks for the replies.
Is it safe to buy cards off Amazon- much chance of them being restickered cheapies?
