Fake Sandisk Memory cards

[miketoll]

I got stung in China, I had to buy more memory so went to a high street shop and was sold a fake Kingston SD card. I did not even try to haggle because of the language difficulties so was fleeced all round as haggling is common in China. It does at least work though I only use it in extremis, the size of memory is down on what it should be but not by a huge amount and speed does not matter much on a compact so not too bad. There is of course no redress.

I have 2 x 32GB SDHC cards, for my son and me, mine packed up on shot 50 at Paignton zoo, now we have 2 x 16GB cards, perfect, the others are used at home for transfers from PC to PC now.

However you have to have 16GB at least now, dont forget many of us shoot vid in 1080p as well on the same card.

I have shopped at 7dayshop for fifteen years and never had one complaint against them
