So I'm going on vacation in a couple weeks, and I want to get a new memory card for my camera before I go.
There are three different cards that I'm looking at that are all the same price. One is a Kingston brand 2 gig card, one is a Transcend brand 2 gig card and the other is an A-Data 4 gig card.
Do any of you guys own any memory cards that are made by any of those brands? Would you recommend them?
Do you think I should go with the 4 gig card since it's twice the space for the same price? Or do you think it's a "get what you pay for" kinda deal and a card that cheap is poor quality and really not worth it?

I haven't heard of A-Data.
I would look up some reviews on it if you can.
I have kingston, kingmax and sandisk. All of which work great and i haven't had a problem with. my kingmax is a 2gig and it works really great.
If you look on newegg.com you can find memory cards cheap and I have heard of Transcend, they seem to be a good brand but i haven't used them personally.
I think newegg.com even has a transcend 4gig for like $14
if you wanted to go with a brand that was a little more well known then A-data and they have kingston for $18 (4gig)

I'm wondering why the 4 gig card is so cheap... I don't mind if it's a bit slow, because I have smaller cards that are really fast that I can use for times that I need a really fast card. But what I really want is a card with a lot of space. I just worry that a card that cheap might have a lot of problems as far as recording and storing images... I am reluctant to buy it until I've heard from someone who has one that says it's worth getting.
