5.0 out of 5 stars Lexas makes a better SD disk, August 14, 2008

Lexas has always been a standard for professional digital photographers. Having bought other "Cheaper" SD memory chips, I have learned first hand how slow a digital camera's response when taking Hi Res photos using standard or less expensive chips. I have been impressed and prefer this particular SD chip in comparison to Extreme II or standard ScanDisk SD chips. The 133x in this Lexar chip really does help to shorten the transfer time from camera to memory storage. One or two shots may not be noticable but when shooting several shots in a fast sequence, you will clearly notice a clear advantage of this product.

I bought a new Nikon D90 and the Lexar Pro 8GB SDHC card to go with it. The card worked great for 2 months until the plastic broke up around the contacts. I contacted Lexar tech support and, after a few e-mails and some photos of the damage, they agreed to replace it. I shipped in the broken card and received the replacement within a week or two.

The replacement, however, didn't work in my camera. After a few conversations with Nikon and Lexar, I learned the 8GB card is not listed on the Nikon compatibility list for my camera. The 4GB was listed but, not the 8GB. Lexar offered some formatting suggestions to try to get the card to work with my camera. Unfortunately nothing worked.

Oh well. I can use the Lexar card in my Fuji Finepix camera and I'll go out and buy a new card off the Nikon D90 compatibility list.

[...]

By the way, the only difference I can tell between the first broken 8GB card and the second 8GB replacement card is that the first was made in China and the second in Taiwan. The second card seems noticeably more rigid and sturdy. Unfortunately, you can't tell the which location the card was built in until you open the package and look at the back of the card.

For those that take photos using a digital camera, invest the few extra dollars in a proffessional card like this one. Using my Nikon D80 I immediately noticed the improved speed of performance in capturing the high resolution pictures I was taking. For the 20,000+ pictures I taken this year, this card has been rock solid for over 9 months so far.
