With everything else in my life I don’t mind not going with the name brand.  All except for most of my camera gear.  Memory cards especially.  Although no memory card is guaranteed to go without failure I have found out through experience that name brand are more reliable.  And I know some of you out there keep all, and I mean all, of your pictures on the same memory card. Always backup!  But if you don’t at least have a good solid memory card in there.  Right now Best Buy is having a “Deal of the Day” sale on Sandisk memory cards.   The 16gb is $11.99 which is great but the 32 gb is $19.99 which is four dollars less than what Amazon is offering.  The deals are only good for today.
