Sandisk and Transcend

[caduceus]

I've just bought a Lumix FX35, and need to buy a memory card.
After flitting through Ebay, there was a choice between two makers. Sandisk and Transcend.
The Transcend description included that it was class 6. Whilst the Sandisk said it was class 2.

But, whilst doing a search on here before posting this thread, I found one thread, where a chap said Transcend was good, but not a fast as the Sandisk

Can someone who knows about all this give me some pointer please.

Thanks
Cad

class 6 is faster than class 2

regardless of brand the standard class system will (should) tell you wich is faster

Don't know, but I heard that 90% of the Sandisk cards on eBay are fake.



There are plenty more makes to choose from - why just those two?

I wouldn't bother saving 50p from eBay when places like www.7dayshop.com are cheap. I've used both Sandisk and Transcend and for the same class card they're indistinguishable.

I have bought two Sandisk 2gb SD memory cards and they have both been fake,confirmed by Sandisk and they like e-bay did not want to do anything as the seller paid me back immediately end of story. So,like others have said i buy off Amazon now as up till now everything has been what appears to be the genuine articles with no hidden diasters.

... and I use www.play.com too - very good prices, fast delivery and genuine articles on both of those places!

And some of Sandisk cards come with data recovery software which may be of use to you.

I bought a "Veho" branded card from ebuyer which is class6 and works very well.
I was slightly dubious as it was so cheap, but it seems fine so far.

Thanks for that chaps. Will give one of those a try on monday.
