I have had other brands fail but I&#8217;ve never had a Lexar or SanDisk memory card fail. Be sure you get the right kind of card for your camera (CompactFlash, Smart Media, etc.).<\/p>\n<p>One important piece of advice. Eventually, memory cards do fail, even from the best manufacturers. It doesn&#8217;t happen often, but it does happen. So it is an excellent idea to have several cards with less memory rather than one card with a huge amount of memory. Four cards with 2 GB of memory are better than one 8 GB card. When I do a major photo shoot, I split it up among several memory cards. If one card fails, I haven&#8217;t lost the whole shoot.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Link<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/?p=4500\">The best of the best photography gear, books, accessories, and online photo labs<\/a>: a series of articles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Short List: SanDisk Lexar Memory cards are the &#8220;film&#8221; for your digital camera.
