I did like you are thinking of doing, saving a few bucks on a card that you think will probably work OK. I spent thousands on my vacation and thought I'd save a few bucks on a memory card. Foolish mistake. The card went blank with all my vacation shots on it. I'd give it one star, but Transcend was kind enough to send my card overseas to see if any of my vacation footage was salvageable. It wasn't. SanDisk from now on.
