Compactflash - which one Sandisk or Samsung?

Diggsy · 22 Jan 2011 at 13:51

Guys, about to get a 2nd CF card for my 350D, question is which one should I go for between these?...

Samsung Plus (8gb) 35mb/s £13.99

Sandisk Ultra (4gb) 30mb/s £11.49

Now, I know the Sandisk is only 4gb, but the 8gb is £18.49, and I am trying to keep the price as low as possible.

Is there any reason not to go with the Samsung?

Decided to stick with what I know and went for the 4gb Sandisk.

I don't think you'll go too far wrong with that. The new Sandisk cards seem pretty damn good to me, and not bad value really either!

You'll probably find Samsung get their memory from Sandisk anyway, most do.

Hmmm, maybe I should've gave the Samsung a go then, ah well, I'm sure the 4gb will be plenty along with my current 4gb.
