Memory cards for the Nikon D800

[icnoble]

My D800 arrives next Monday and I would like some advice on what cards I should use? For compact flash I was thinking about this

http://www.amazon.co.uk/SanDisk-32G...VU/ref=sr_1_61?ie=UTF8&qid=1339191933&sr=8-61

or should I go for the more expensive

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sandisk-Ext...PI/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1339192328&sr=8-16

Would the extreme pro be worth the extra expense?

Also what sd cards would you recommend I get.

Any advice would be gratefully received.

I would say use the same cards,you have been using in your D700,maybe a few larger sizes for the extra m/p count

Extreme Pro CF cards do seem to clear the buffer quicker than the 60 MB/s Extremes and for SD slot the 32GB Extreme Pro is not too expensive on Amazon.

ive a 16gig sandisk extreme 60MB/s in the big slot and just some generic 8gig class 6 card in the little slot for jpegs. Never noticed any lag or anything.

I'm guessing that much will depend on your shooting style, if you are basically single-shot then I can't think you will have any issues with your existing cards but if you are using continuous for sport or the like then you will probably benefit from a faster card as the resultant image files will be a lot larger than you have been used to.

Thank you for the advice folks

I got my Sandisk 32gb Extreme Pro from here: http://www.mymemory.co.uk/SDHC/SanD...k_Extreme_32GB_SD_C10_Promo&origin=Newsletter

Much better price, I think!

Nearly as fast as the xqd in the d4

I have a Sandisk Extreme Pro 16Gb (SD) and just carry on as before.

That's an exceptional price - they were more than twice as much a year ago.
