Amazon is great for when you can foresee you're going to need SD cards
(or whatever form factor your non-Pentax camera uses if you have one) ...
B&H is good too even if a bit pricier.
But it seems like if I ever NEED more cards, then I need them RIGHT NOW!
... & hopefully there's a local camera store somewhere nearby that
stocks the better quality cards - otherwise it's gonna be what I can
find at Walmart (or Target, Best Buy ... Walgreens) 😕.

Amazon has always had the best prices for SD cards. I’ve been using their
SanDisk Extreme cards for at least ten years without a single failure.

My new camera is arriving tomorrow, I wanted to get some new SD cards as
well.
Shopping on Amazon for the SanDisk Extreme Pro
32 GB 100MB/s $13.35 2.39 GB/$ also $12.29
64 GB 200MB/s $15.38 4.16 GB/$ also $15
128 GB 200MB/s $24.10 5.31 GB/$ also $23
256 GB 200 MB/s $48.60 5.27 GB/$ also $40
512 GB 200 MB/s $79.70 6.42 GB/$ also $69
1TB 200 MB/s 197.05 5.19 GB/$ also $188
Something weird happened, I was looking at the 512 at $69, ordered 2 and
it switched me over to the page for them at $79.
The $79 version is said to arrive Wed, March 8, the $69 March 12-15. Sold
by "sales for you" and fulfilled by amazon
First of all I am simply boggled by how cheap SD memory has gotten. Now
there's something weird where if you change the number you order, the price
and delivery will change.
I can see a couple of advantages to big cards besides price per GB.
The first is that the only time I lost a bunch of photos was when I was
shooting at the Monterey historics, ran out of space on my cards, swapped
them and when I got home one had disappeared. I probably dropped it when I
thought i was putting it into the used card pocket of my camera strap.
The other is that with solid state, you're limited to the number of write
cycles, so the less of the card you use at a time, the longer it should
last.
On a trip, however, there are serious disadvantages to having too many
files on a card when you're copying them off of the card onto a computer
each day. I'm one of those people who doesn't like to erase my SD cards
until I get home from a trip.
But $.16 per GB? Yowza!
