I work in a photostore, and the prices for fast sd-cards are getting ridiculous. Every time I scan one in the cash register I am almost scared of telling them the price.
I just picked up my first real camera, perfect timing huh? Hopefully this one will be good enough when I figure out how to do the burst photos thing as I'm gonna need that I think.
I'm gonna pull a heist on a Staples ffs.
Yeah probably.
But watch out that Amazon doesn't send you a fake. Run one of the storage testers to validate the actual capacity.

Unfortunately, thems are for windows, we don't like their kind 'round here.
I'm sure I can find one for linux though, thanks for the advice!
I used FFF (fake flash finder) a few months back when I last bought SD cards. Should be in your distro's repos
I found that while looking into it a few hours back, but haven't tried to install it yet (FedoraKDE), thanks!
