The SD card review
I think it was excellent to consider these cards in a real world environment instead of using techy stats and what I found most interesting is that the sandisk 'Extreme' marketing department have done an excellent job in justifying the extra expense over a relatively cheap card such as the Transcend with inconsequential benefits to the vast majority.
Yes, from a professional point of view, there are people that may need to squeeze out the last ounce of performance and for whom the relative cost of a card is minor (and who probably use compact flash anyway), and then there is the rest of us who want something to perform to our expectations who, let's be honest with ourselves, do not have photographic orientated deadlines to meet and are unlikely to miss that crucial picture due to card speed - ever by the way, even using the slowest card probably.
What I particularly thought was excellent was that such a review can be viewed by me, an inquisitive internet browser, who had always just thought Extreme III must be so much more brilliant as it both turned up trumps in reviews and was/is always so much more expensive. I have both Transcend and Extreme III cards (and Dane-Elec too), and I have swapped between them but always trying to make sure the extreme III cards were available. Now it is very apparent that at my level of photography (published stuff, made a few pennies, but not enough to support a mortgage) there is no need to be too worried. I also appreciated that you had taken a substantial stack of photographs as well to reduce any potential reliability concerns (I only take about 100 pictures a week on average).
I am sure there will be many professionals out there who may disagree however, no offense, its your job and too many people are winding up buying both cards and camera gear in general that they do not need because of pro-biased reviews. When was the last time you (non-professionals only please) printed a poster sized picture because you had caught an important historical moment?
