You're right. I just opened it and I'm sure it will answer all my questions. I can't wait to get to it. Many, many thanks.

The circled number is the speed rating class of the card. For video and burst shooting on cameras I have seen 6 or above recommended. Some older cameras will function with 4. I buy nothing but class 10. Since then two new speeds have come out that only work in devices that will handle the new speeds. Other wise those cards perform as class 10 and are so marked. I currently use UDMA 7 cards, I did have to buy a new card reader because my 4 year old computer's card reader could not process them.

I just finished reading the article on Memory Cards and it was great. The only thing they didn't mention was the 200x designation on my 16 GB Lexar. I noticed that one of the cards shown in the article had a 100x designation. Do you know what they stand for? Someone else who replied to my question wanted to know if I knew what the circled numbers stand for and I'll send him your link. Many thanks for sending it to me.

I don't know if you saw the link below someone else sent me. It's excellent.

Lexar uses a different rating notation in which the numbers are bigger look more impressive.
Their latest 1066X is the same as UDMA-7 and their 300X is the same as UHS-1.
It makes them stand out by not using the same rating form as the other companies. They are good cards, it just takes some thinking to compare them to other brands on speed. Just remember that the higher the number the faster the card is rated.

Although the card will put pics from different cameras into different folders, cameras can see only those pictures it took itself. I think the D750 has a Menu choice to view pictures on the card from other cameras, but I've never tried it.

The class 4 cards won't work in my Canon or It has problems with them. I use only the class 10 cards. I have two 32gb and one 64 and I have never loaded a full memory card before downloading the photo's so as to not loose any valuable photos but its nice to know the extra memory is there.

Just received a newsletter from B&H that explained all the letters and numbers on SD and CF cards. Good article. Check their website.

Another thing is like Overstock will give you some great prices on memory card and even multi-packs of class (4)memory cards but a camera has problems with them. Class t(10) cards are faster and work in cameras a lot better. They are worth the difference. I have heard people have problems with Lexar but so far mine has worked like a champ and I would buy more. If you shoot pro you might want to stick with scandisk. They seem to be the best cards out there..

Virtually all Nikon DSLRs can view images from other cameras.

I have had several friends tell me that I should not use anything larger than an 8gig card.

Well, my father once told me that advice is like people's rear ends, most everybody has it and most of them stink.

So far, I have never lost an image with a 32gig card I even have a 64gig card for when I'm just fooling around.

Modern cameras have huge files, 40 gigs doesn't go all that far shooting Raw and JPG, or on a long day shooting it doesn't seem like it. Yes, losing a long day's work will ruin the day but I only use name brand cards and format in the camera to increase the chances of it being readable. While I could I don't use WiFi to download to a laptop while shooting. That would be another good safety option.

When I was a photographer in college I learned that if I shot a half dozen rolls of 36 exposure film and got one picture for a publication that was usable that I was lucky. I take a lot of pictures and throw a lot away but I also get some really nice shots. I don't mind having the bad or not real good shots if I get what I need.

While I like the big cards I also like to download to the laptop immediately. That way there is a copy in case something happens.

Your camera should read all the pictures. I had a D70 and D300 and I had to tell the camera to read all folders or photos. It is in the menu somewhere. If no one here can tell you call Nikon. Look in the manual.

Nice to know, I had always assumed the opposite would be true. Thanks!
