Ridata cards

Geez, I thought someone would respond. I've had no response to my question (see below about 8GB Ridata cards). Maybe that answers my question....? Better stick to the expensive Sandisk

Not sure what the question was, but a search is always a good start:

I am not going to be much help with the 8GB cards, but I have been using Ridata cards in the 2GB, 1GB and 512MB flavors for quite a while with my D200 and D100 and they have worked fine for me.

I am not sure about putting all of my eggs in one basket on an 8GB card though, if something gets corrupted you could possibly lose a bunch of images.

I know how you feel about the lack of replies, about two weeks ago I posted some portrait samples in the Lighting forum and got only a few replies. I was hoping for more feedback. I guess we are suffering from the Rodney Dangerfield syndrome, "we get no respect".

Hey - Thanks for your reply. And for the other guy - I did a bunch of searches before posting. As I said before, I'll play it safe and go Sandisk. Thanks anyway

I have been using a 512 mb Ridata card for 4 years, I wouldn't be afraid to buy another one.

Ive got a Ridata 150x 8gig pro card. Works great with my D2X- just as fast as my Lexars. Its pro too so its got the lifetime warranty in case it gets corrupted- Ive had two Lexars do this and they replaced them for free just like Ridata will if this card fails. I was leary about the price differential but this card works great and is half the price. -p

I have been using 2 Ridata 4gig pro cards for about 3 months with no problems. I see no difference in speed, etc. than my Sandisk Ultra II cards.
