Transcend 150x 2G SD cards have proven to be reliable and fast, are currently on sale at NewEgg.com for $37 apiece. I've done business with them quite a few times and not had any bad experiences.
----- Many told me to quit griping about Pentax ditching CF cards because SD cards were now so cheap that they were disposable. Well, I have ordered a K10D and a 130X Lexar 2GB card to go with it. The card is over $100. To get the 10 GB I'd like eventually to have for extended travel will cost me $500 at that rate. (I have 9 GB in CF cards, and fill them up pretty quickly when I travel. I also have a 40 GB Flashtrax, but consider it a backup rather than a susbtitute for cards. And I'll have to get a CF to SD adapter for it.) The Transcend certainly looks attractive on price, but are they of the quality of Lexar and Sandisk? I won't buy a card that may prove short-lived and lose valuable images. I don't know whether the K10D will be able to take full advantage of cards in the 130-150x range. A future model might be able to. If I invest now in expensive SD cards, though, that will guarantee that Pentax will switch to some other kind of card in the future. The 4GB CF Lexar card that I have D causes the D to boot so slowly that I a hesitate to go beyond 2GB in future cards. Or maybe the K10D will boot quickly enough that it won't be a problem.
