Best memory card for the t3i?

[Drummer829]

Me and the girlfriend just got a new canon rebel t3i. I saw that the class 10 is recommended for the best video. However, I was searching and found the sandisk ultra and then the sandisk extreme. Both class 10, but I have no idea what the difference is and if one works better with the t3i. does the mb/s matter or what is recommended? Also, should i use one for soley videos and a different one for photos? any recommendations would be helpful!

Looks like you are on the right track. I used Sandisk class 10 cards in my T3i while I had it. I never used the extreme and never had a problem.

Congrats on the new camera!

Don't buy mass storage!! 4 or 8 gigs maximum. If you haven't had a card fail yet, it probably will happen sometime. I have an 8Gb that just failed. I'm glad it wasn't my 32Gb, but makes me wonder why I bought the 32 in the first place.

Any class 10 from SanDisk. Been using SanDisk for 10-15 never fail me.

Oh geez. Maybe I should of specified what is recommended or what will work without the camera having to stop recording when recording a video

Transcend - 16 GB Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) - 1 Card/1 Pack - TS16GSDHC10U1

I was planning on buying this one. I've read that transcend is pretty good and it seems cheaper than the others

Always used Transcend class 10's here without issue.

If you ask for the "best" it will get pointed out to you. The best and suitable often are not the same thing.
