Re: Aurora Borealis - recs for memory card for NX1000 pl

I couldn't imagine you could go wrong with any name brand memory card these days. Memory controllers have come a long way with compatibility of consumer products. However you can get unlucky..the card may not want to play 100% with your product, sad to say, but that's just coming from my experience. For example, a couple of my Patriot cards don't work 100%. All the same brand, same model. This is reproducible any time I place that card into my nx200. So I just use the ones that do work 100%. When I fried the internals of my nx200, I sent the camera to Samsung and they replaced pretty much all the circuit boards inside (~$200), when I got it back, the cards that did work now don't play 100%, and the ones that didn't, now work 100% (take that with a pinch of salt)....go figure.

At the end of the day take at lease a couple of cards with you whichever brand you choose. I have numerous Patriot class 10 32MB cards. 11MB/s write, 20MB/s read for my nx200. Have also Samsung and Sony class 10 32MB cards no probs. Don't know if the nx1000 would need a card that goes faster than the nx200. Good luck on your excursion, sounds like fun.
