Title: Memory Card Post by: bsnooopy on October 04, 2009, 07:28:39 PM I recently purchased a Canon 50d to replace my Rebel XT and need to purchase a better memory card. It seems that most articles that I read recommend a going with a UDMA card of at least 8 gb but that is out of my price range right now. I primarily shoot landscape, nature and occasionally birds.
If anyone out there has a recommendation it would certainly be appreciated. Ready to get out and capture a great shot.

That's a pretty good price. PNY are well known in the computer memory world
If you want something cheaper you can drop to 4GB or go with a non-UDMA card. You may not need high capacity or the very highest speed. Kingston Elite Pro 8 GB 133x CompactFlash (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000Y138EK/bobatkinsphotogr) - $25 SanDisk 1 8GB Extreme III CF (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0013DGTUI/bobatkinsphotogr) - $45 I've been quite happy with both Kingston and Sandisk CF cards.

I got 2 kingston 4GB class 4 SDHC cards for only $22 (free shipping from buy.com at that time), and when I received them, I was surprised to see they were made in Japan.
