In the US the 32gb version of the extreme pro retails for about £60! But a card that fast is only gonna be tested by HD video, speed like that is overkill for any camera taking jpg's and 8gb is not that big when shooting in HD.

In your opinion/situation maybe, however it's useful when taking shots in RAW mode, it takes an unfathomable amount of time taking 13mb shots (and I'm not confusing that with mp) with a low speed card.
Also exactly how much video time do you need? 8gb is plenty fine for most people, certainly in cameras that take HD film footage it's more than enough. I'd rather have the 50% increase in speed with a smaller card than pay more for something that I know I'll rarely use all the capacity in one go.

Great picture!

Now I get why they spent so much of my Council Tax on building a puddle outside City Hall.

Would've been cheaper to just block the drains.

Have you been past on a sunny day yet? If not, you should. I am officially suspending judgement until the end of summer.

I bloody well have, there I was, sun in my eyes, gaily strolling along past City hall, full of the joys of spring. I'd just lifted my hand up to shade the glare of the sun when I stepped into this huge puddle, I spent the next 20 mins doing a 'squelch, squelch' and leaving wet footrpints like a bloody Yeti, and the shoes are fscked now

I haven't done much in the way of photography recently as I've had to do some work. Lovely day and I finished early so went out in the garden to find something to work the macro lens a bit. I found this fearless wasp that wasn't much bothered about having it's picture taken. face up to your fears by BlueskyXIII, on Flickr
