You don&#8217;t want to have a card failure and lose your photos. A reliable brand is important.<\/p>\n<p>There are other good brands but these two are very popular with working professionals due to their high reliability. 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=9326\">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<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9370","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9370","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9370"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9370\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13067,"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9370\/revisions\/13067"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9370"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9370"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9370"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
