I will be doing some RAW time lapse and videos so want a fast micro SD card 32GB or larger.

Searched the Forum using keywords best SD card but to date have found nothing relevant. If I missed something please tell me (and provide either the keywords or if possible a link).

Recently bought a speed 10 32 GB micro SD card and immediately noticed significantly better RAW burst speeds.

After a few days developed problems with Windows XP and 7 not recognizing this card when tried to download my photos to HDDs.

Did some checking and found this card has a bad reputation for failing without warning.

Should mention that I want a Reliable 32 GB micro SD card even more so than speed.

Am interested in all suggestions!

Also is there a forum or website dedicated to micro SD cards?

Did find specific topics such as http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s4/315699-micro-sd-card-corruption-issues.html but not a dedicated forum.

Thanks

One word : SanDisk

But make sure you buy from a reputable supplier. There are rumored to be many counterfeit cards coming out of China that look 100% real.

Thanks for the SanDisk tip!

I have never had any problems with any of my SanDisk Flash products.

Was recently disappointed to find out that not all of SanDisk's products have a "lifetime warranty".

"make sure you buy from a reputable supplier. There are rumored to be many counterfeit cards coming out of China that look 100% real" Guess that eliminates "eBay Bargains".

Do you have a website or link where I can find out more info concerning these counterfeit SanDisk cards?

Thanks again for your help!

waterwingz,

Thanks for the link to Google Search using "counterfeit sandisk sd card"

Thought "How to Test Fake Flash Memory" was very informative.
