So good are Sandisk vs PNY memory cards?
I was out at Best Buy in Leominster today to pick up a few SDHC 32GB card for my camera, 3DS, and a few other devices which use flash memory.
Before heading to the store, I had seen a 32GB card for $17 on their site ( http://www.bestbuy.com/site/32gb-high-performance-secure-digital-high-capacity-sdhc-class-10-memory-card/2300602.p;jsessionid=C0CB0CCFDCB320B10B900C9771DE0D1D.bbolsp-app02-108?id=1218318851702&skuId=2300602&st=pny%2032%20gb&cp=1&lp=3 ). So while there, I asked about the card.
Her exact reply was "On that's PNY, we don't have any in stock."
I went back to the shelf and noticed there were NO PNY on display.
Her final statement was "We don't carry PNY in store anymore. While they offer better protection against file corruption, we were finding that PNY was incompatible with many cameras. There might be a few left over in the mobile phone department."
I went to the department, and found nothing.
However, I'd like to know if this is all true.
Does PNY have a compatibility problem?
I honestly thought if it was an SDHC card and SDHC cards were supported.. brand really didn't matter as long as it wasn't some cheap, no name brand.
So, what's going on here?
