I'm heading off O/S for work in a couple of weeks and didn't want to take my usual camera of choice, and have been looking for either a P&S or bridge camera to take along for the ride.

After much touching and fondling, I found the majority were too small for me to be comfortable with using them. So on a whim I picked up a Nikon D7000 to take along for the ride. It is smaller and lighter than my other camera body and I can use all of my current accessories and lenses with it. Anyway, that is my excuse for buying it and I'm sticking to it.

So to my question what memory cards are owners using with their D7000's?

I've looked at some which are around $300 for 32GB

For your info I only shoot RAW, and at this stage of my life don't generally photograph high speed objects e.g. motorcar racing.

I use 2 Sandisk 8GB cards in my D7000. I also shoot in RAW. I have the cards set to overflow from 1 -> . I also take my iPad with me and download every day. I've never run out of capacity, I can't imagine taking more than 200 photos in 1 day. If I do it's probably be cheaper to buy 2 extra 8GB cards

Thanks Prof...

I've got a photowalk on tomorrow, and will be using both bodies with different lenses to get a feel for the new toy.

I'll check out some prices of 8 & 16GB cards

I use a Sandisk Pro 16gb in slot 1 and 4gb in slot 2 of my D7000. I shoot raw + jpeg (hence capacity differences). Works a treat. Mine are both Class 10, I'd definitely make sure whatever brand you get, to go for a Class 10 card. It will ensure write speeds are optimised for raw files, and if you ever need to use them in a HD camcorder, anything slower may not be fast enough.

Thanks John, they are also the ones I use in my other camera. The D7000 takes SD cards which are available in the Extreme version as well.

Thanks CP_, I'll check them out when the shops open for trading again.

Picked up a couple of Sandisk SDHC cards today.

I bought a 32GB and a 16GB class 10's, should last me a while.

Thanks again all for the feedback
