Many of you have asked what card I use for my D 40. Here it is. A SanDisk Extreme III 2gb SD card. These cards are awesome. I have never had a problem with a SanDisk card. They just work!! This Extreme III card is built for speed with a 20mb read, write speed. They have a new card out the Extreme IV that has a 40mb read, write speed. I plan on picking up one of those in CF format when I get my D 300. If you shoot as many pictures as I do, a rock solid high speed card is a must.
If possible, here is my advice on buying a memory card. Buy from a reputable source off the Internet. I buy mine from Amazon. The local retail stores have a HUGE markup on these cards. I bought my last card for $37.49 from Amazon. Circuit City is selling the same card for $69.99. Now that is a nice fat profit margin. If you need one immediately, shop around at several different local stores. As I type this Best Buy has this card on sale for 45.00. That five minutes of research on the Internet just saved you $25.00.
