Has anyone here had or has any of these? Worth it? With the XSi?

I guess nobody uses this brand...Must not be worth it.

Lexar is a pretty commonly known brand here in the States, I wouldn't hesitate to get one of these, especially for $10 when they are double that on Amazon.com right now. It seems like SanDisk, Lexar and Kingston are the brands that get mentioned on this board a lot. There are some "off" brands that you may want to steer clear of, but I wouldn't think Lexar is one of them...and even in terms of brand, there are some who will argue that a well-known brand isn't any better than a brand like Transcend or AData that you may not see as often.

Right now on Amazon.com that same exact card is $23, $10 is a much better price...I'd stock up!! My SanDisk Extreme III 4GB SDHC cards that I got for my Nikon D60 were $35 each, luckily I got them with a fantastic rebate so it didn't end up costing toooo much for the 6 that I got.

Well, I did it...DH said he would not carry a laptop (even an ebook) to France so he bought me 10 more cards.

I feel crazy but I know that I would love not to worry that i would run out and this way I will not.

I figured that at $10 per card they are like buying 5 more in Price...I can't wait for all the equipment to get here so I can get started.
