Kingston Vs. Transcend: As far as reliability for SD memory cards, any idea what the most reputable brand is?

I haven't tried Kingston yet, but two 8GB Transcend cards have completely failed me, losing valuable data. Don't buy Transcend!

Any Class 10 SD Card will work.You can use SD, SDHC, SDXC. I would stick with a name brand since you will probably be using this for paid gigs and reliability is more important than price.

Absolutely!! I have used Lexar, SanDisk, Transcend and even an old reader card from a Toshiba memory card. Just be sure you have a little room around your USB ports. The square design sometimes doesn't quite fit into the easy to access ports. In this case I had to switch USB ports with one from the back of my computer. No big problem and depending on the the specifications of your computer (like SP2 or SP3), the speed in which the card is read might vary. I hope this helps you. It's a Good product for storage or transferring data, music and photos... art

Kingston's website has a very good selector guide. I suggest you use it to confirm the correct memory.

I don't know how much it really matters, but I purchased two "Transcend" brand 16GB Class 10 cards at the same time as the camera. They worked fine. I also used an older "PNY" 8GB Class 4 card in it and it worked fine. Took about 2,200 photos total, above and below the water.

This is what I use in it, nothing higher is necessary. Transcend 16 GB Class 6 SDHC Flash Memory Card TS16GSDHC6E

I'm not familiar with the Transcend memory cards, but it MUST be a Micro card - the larger, regular SD card will not fit.

although I use Kingston with my canon cameras, it appears they have not been tested for your camera...as a professional photographer I couldn't recommend this memory card for your camera

Thanks for the info. I have decided on the 720 but am now confused on the memory card debate. I have read/heard conflicting opinions on sd vs sdhc. I'm thinking an sd 2gb should do everything I need without memory card error risks. Any thoughts as to upgrading beyond?

Yes, I have the same tablet and I also use the same micro sd cards. I use them to load music from my laptop, and use them in my tablets and phones. I've found the quality of transcend to be excellent. They also work well for video. Hope this answers your question.

I also had issues with a SanDisk 32GB Class 10 MicroSDHC. I have since switched to a Transcend 32GB MicroSDHC Class 10 card and everything has been okay. (Amazon ASIN B00CES44EO)

Complete myth that lower-memory cards work better than higher-memory. Sandisk is good.

I typically buy Corsair memory and have never had any problems. Kingston is good but usually higher priced.

I got this one on amazon. Has been working fine with no issues for several months now:SanDisk Ultra 32GB MicroSDHC Class 10 UHS Memory Card Speed Up To 30MB/s With Adapter, Frustration-Free Packaging - SDSDQU-032G-AFFP-A [Old Version]

I bought a very inexpensive 2GB SD card of the Crucial brand. These are almost always on sale somewhere on the Web. It's not rated at a super high speed (40x), but it seems to work fast enough in my A590IS. I contacted Canon Tech support re. what would be the optimum speed chip to get for the 590 and they didn't seem to know. Duuuh..., so I ended up with the Crucial. I don't use the highest res setting, as the lens isn't really up to it, so there's room for plenty O' pix on the 2 Gigger. .bh.

I got mine T2i someplace else because Amazon was out, but they included a Transcend 8gb class 10 and I could only get 9 pictures on continuous before it slowed down. I ordered and received a Sandisk Extreme III class 10 4g from Amazon and now I can do over 40 continous(didn't bother to figure out if there is a number bigger). So if your using continuous and need get lots of frames go with the Sandisk Extreme III, for single frame anything will work.

Generally, Kingston products are excellent quality and includes great support. Call them and discuss compatibility and use. They will tell you exactly how it's going to function.
