Crazysah Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Hello guys, So around a month and a half I bought a Nikon D3100 DSLR. I bought some cheap memory card with it and the capacity is only 8GB. I'm looking to purchase a fast 16GB or 32GB one. Any suggestions? Thanks Crazysah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkMan Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Any class 10 card like the sandisk extreme III. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazysah Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 Are there any cheap ones available and if so, from where? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazzy88ss Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 cheap, fast, and 32gb don't go together. If you actually NEED speed, get a sandisk 4-8gb extreme iv or something close to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remus_lupin Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Agreed with Crazzy... Why do you need 16 or 32 GB, is the card you have right now not quick enough to shoot movies? Or are you finding it incapable of keeping up with burst mode? Or do you just not like waiting to upload your pics?... I personally feel class 10 is overkill, a good class 6 would probably be good *enough* depending on what it is you SPECIFICALLY need a faster card for. I have one 16GB class sandisk ultra II that I use for when I need more space, then an 8 GB card that I usually have in my camera that is higher speed... The thing is I rarely fill it, so my 16GB isn't used that often That being said I do not shoot videos... you probably do, and being that the 3100 shoots 1920x1080 I am guessing that is why you want a bigger card, and a decent speed one (to keep up with the video)... which from what I have just read through google, class 10 may be a decent solution after all haha (if full HD video is what you are after of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kondrath Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Didn't check the reviews, but saw it on slickdeals today - 16gb Class 10 for $20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argote Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 As mentioned, a Class 10 card is what you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazysah Posted July 16, 2011 Author Share Posted July 16, 2011 I'll be buying from the USA. I need 16GB or 32GB for space and I need a high speed one for burst mode and videos. I'm looking for one under like $40 if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

remus_lupin Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 D3100's burst mode doesn't require that high speed; it's Nikon's entry level camera. But it's still 14 mp... Which is a large photo size, especially if shooting raw, so regardless it will help (even at 3fps), and he does mention video, which is at full 1080p.

I'm looking for one under like $40 if possible. It's $5 more than what you wanted, and shipping I imagine would be quite a bit to your location (I have amazon prime personally - not that it would help you)... but this is a great card made by a great company for a great price. http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Extreme-Video-Memory-SDSDRX3-016G-A21/dp/B003D5MY5I/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1310881485&sr=8-8 16GB class 10 for $45 regular $110 PS: one left in stock (as of right now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm seriously looking for under $40. How's this one instead? http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Ultra-Flash-memory-card/dp/B001L27D5Q/ref=sr_1_9?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1311196307&sr=1-9 Or something similar to that?

It's class 4, so it'l be much slower to write the data which will affect how many photos you can take before the buffer fills up and you have to wait while doing burst photos. it may also affect your ability to record HD video.
