SANDISK and Lexar, the two "quality" brands that I am familiar with ,don't seem to be making anything bigger than 2 GB SD cards in medium to higher speed models (60x ... 9MB/sec ... or better) that are suitable for digital photography. All of their bigger cards (4GB etc.) are the new SDHC format which my camera will not accept.

I went to their websites:
http://www.sandisk.com/Products/Catalog(1063)-SanDisk_Ultra_II_SD_and_SDHC_Cards.aspx
http://www.lexar.com/premium/index.html

When you are taking you SD cards in and out of the camera all the time to swap cards etc, the small SD card's case gets stressed. The AData card's case was noticeably flimsier than my SANDISK cards and the case eventually started breaking up while my older SANDISK cards are as good as the day I bought them.

Surely someone knows of a quality 4GB 60x or better SD card that is not SDHC?

Subject: [CGUYS] High quality brand SD card?

I want to buy a DURABLE high quality brand of SD card with medium speed RW capability (~9 mb/sec but don't need the fastest speeds available). (It's for for my Canon digital camera which can also shoot video but doesn't RW at the fastest speeds). I have had a 512MB and a 2GB SANDISK Ultra II SD card for a while and they have been great. More recently, I bought a A DATA 4 GB 133x SD card which has been lousy. I had formatting problems and then the thinner plastic case fell apart.

I am looking for another 4 GB medium speed SD card but my camera cannot use the new SDHC cards and it turns out SANDISK does not make anything bigger than the 2GB Ultra II SD cards. Everything in larger sizes is the new SDHC format which my camera will not accept.

Can anyone personally recommend another quality brand of SD cards other than SANDISK?
