I work in a photostore, and the prices for fast sd-cards are getting ridiculous. Every time I scan one in the cash register I am almost scared of telling them the price.
I just picked up my first real camera, perfect timing huh? Hopefully this one will be good enough when I figure out how to do the burst photos thing as I'm gonna need that I think.
I'm gonna pull a heist on a Staples ffs.
It really depends on the camera you have and how you use it. If it’s high enough megapixels (20+) and you bought it for high fps burst shot (needed to shoot moving subjects or kids), you might need a v90 cards which will be 4 times that price. Otherwise the Canvas is ok, but these days you can find them in the same price range of Prograde which would be my suggestion. I have and use both.
Shit I'm gonna need one of those Heist cards, Fuji x-t4. At the moment I haven't even found the setting for burst and have no train trips planned so I guess I have time, but I better grab my grappling hook lol.
Yeah probably.
But watch out that Amazon doesn't send you a fake. Run one of the storage testers to validate the actual capacity.

Unfortunately, thems are for windows, we don't like their kind 'round here.
I'm sure I can find one for linux though, thanks for the advice!
I used FFF (fake flash finder) a few months back when I last bought SD cards. Should be in your distro's repos
I found that while looking into it a few hours back, but haven't tried to install it yet (FedoraKDE), thanks!
