Which Sandisk card for D90, D700

[stephen_fassman]

<p>Which card for D90:Speed: Extreme2, 3, or 4? Size: 8 or 16 Gig<br>

Which card for D700: E3 or E4?, 8 or 16 G?</p>

<p> I presume the E4 is overkill for the D90 engine. But E2 vs E3: will movie mode tax the card more than Raw+ jpg at CH?Will the E3 thus be necessary to keep up with the camera?<br>

Will the E3 be sufficient for the D700 when shooting Raw + jpg Med/Fine @ CH? I'm not interested in the UDMA dnld spec to the computer, to warrant double the price.<br>

Both will be off-loaded to an iPod well before they are filled.Thanks.</p>

<p>"I'm not interested in the UDMA " - and that is where D700 shines.</p>

<p>I use E4.<br>

If you shoot long bursts, you need it.</p>

<p>For the D90?</p>

<p>E3 with 8 or 16 gig is fast enough for my D700 in 14bit RAW, but I don't need long bursts in rapid succession as I don't spray and pray. E4 would give faster download speeds, but even then I'm not in a hurry.</p>

<p>Hi!<br>

I use Extreme III 4 GB and 8 GB but the fast version, 30 Mb/s and I have no problem even when I shoot at max fps, RAW+Fine JPG with my D90.<br>

For more info on this card please have a look here:<br>

<p>i use the e3 card on my d700 and i have no issues even when i am using the mb-d10 battery pack...i shoot only raw and i can get about 15 exposures at the continous high setting before it has a problem storing in the buffer.<br>

would an e4 card give more exposures before the buffer is filled?</p>

</blockquote>

<p>I use Extreme3 4GB in my D90. I'm happy with it.</p>

[ShunCheung]

<p>First of all, the D700 uses CF cards while the D90 uses SD cards.</p>

<p>There are Sandisk Extreme III SD cards, but I have never seen any Extreme IV SD cards; have you? Extreme IV is only available in CF.</p>

[michaelleggero]

<p>right you are shun, but he did ask about both cameras, what do you think?</p>

[eric_arnold]

<p>cant go wrong with the E4...</p>

<p>i'd get an E3 for the d90</p>

<p>Not if you want to shoot more than ~ half a dozen raw exposures at CH.</p>

[stephen_fassman]

<p>When at a sports event, to capture the essence of a play, I wouldn't shoot for more than 1-2 seconds@ Raw + jpg MF, with the D700+ 180/2.8 or 70-300 VR. Would I still need the E4?</p>

[Wouter Willemse]

<p>I use the both Extreme III and IV compact flash for a D300, and I generally do prefer the E4. Simply because they help clear the buffer way faster, so keep up higher continious shot rate. Not that I need it all that often, but I rather keep my options open.<br>

So unless the price is a too big hurdle, I'd always go for a E4 card (and maybe 1 or 2 E3 as backups). </p>
