Ideal for RAW photography March 22, 2008

I used to think that memory cards of this size were just a gimmick. After all who needs that much storage space. I use a mid-range DSLR camera and with my 1Gb SD cards I am able to capture around fifty images (JPEG format), which was more than enough for me. However I recently made the transaction from shooting in JPEGS to shooting in RAW (a more flexible file type giving you more control over images in the digital dark room). And while I feel that shooting in RAW is better and helps produce fantastic photographs, the images are larger, much larger. In fact my fifty images per memory card quickly plummeted to an embarrassing twelfth per card.
So, hence I was in the market for some beefier memory cards. I had used Sandisk plenty of times in the past and was always please with the result. Therefore I purchase two of these 8Gb cards and after shooting a few dozen images all I can say is wow!
Firstly each card can hold a massive ninety RAW photos (this will differ depending on what camera you own, it's megapixels and quality settings.) But it's more than just the capacity that's got me excited. People told me in the past that shooting in RAW seriously slows down your shooting, but to tell you the truth I haven't noticed a major difference. The cards look professional and come with decent recovery software, carry case and reader. It's also good to know that they also come with a ten year gunantee. Theres nothing worse than loosing photos because of a faulty memory card, but I doubt that anyone would have that problem with these SanDisk cards. Additionally I've read that they are shock and water resistant, so they are not going to let you down.
So, in conclusion. I couldn't be happier with my new memory cards. Sandisk is the way to go, especially when there cards are such good value for money (oh and no I don't work for Sandisk). Just make sure that your camera or other device supports SDHC (high capacity) and like me, once you go RAW you'll never go back.
