I get 600-800 shots at 10mp on a single card at about 4-6mb each picture so I really can’t imagine you needing more than one of these unless you were a professional photographer shooting at like 12 or higher MP with a trigger finger. But in that case you probably want to play it safe and use more cards, incase any 1 of them has a failure.

That was a tip I heard from some photographer friends; that you never want to buy bigger than a 4GB card incase you fill it up and it fails, then you loose hundreds and hundreds of pictures at one time. So in most cases having a few 4GB cards seems to be the sweet spot between safety and convenience.

The price was rather good. The packaging (boy, they even want you to give a star rating to packaging – c’mon, it’s a little package that holds a card the size of a postage stamp) is standard retail stuff. The MicroSD card and the adapter both work great, and, of course, the most important thing: the write speed for this Class 6 card is nice and speedy. It’s just what the doctor ordered to use with my HTC Incredible… the first phone that truly is… better than the iPhone.

I bought Transcend 16 GB flash memory card for my Canon SD1100is, it works great and at 8MP can hold about 1,900 pictures. If only I would have waited until they came out with the frustration-free packaging for Transcend 16 GB flash memory card! That was by far the most annoying part, trying to get into the thing. Do yourself a favor and buy the one with the new packaging! –> Transcend TS8GSDHC6E 8 GB SDHC Card (SD 2.0 SPD Class 6) [Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging] Oh, I should also add that amazon is the best place to buy any kind of memory card. I’ve compared prices with stores and they’re always about twice as much there as on amazon. The money you can save is worth waiting a day or two to get it.
