Re: memory card question for nikon d3100

I just bought my camera this week and COULD NOT BELIEVE how CHEAP these cards have become!

I remember when we got our first digital camera they were very expensive and held not that many photos. I remember paying like $50 or $75 for something that held 200 photos and not as good quality.

anyway, showing my age - here's the answer to your q.

We got 2 - 8 GB for around $13 from B & H photo. We were thinking of getting 1 - 16 but it was about $30 and the salesperson made a good point, if you buy the 16 and it breaks for some reason, you are out while having 2 8's, you have a backup.
