Sony Alpha SLT-A35 Memory Compatibility

kithylin

I'm considering buying a Sony Alpha SLT-A35 soon and I'm hoping someone here owns one and could personally tell me yes, or no if these cameras support the Sandisk Extreme line of SD cards?

I'm especially interested in the 16gb and 32gb "Extreme Pro" series of cards, since they're not too expensive on ebay now a days.

I have a 4gb Sandisk Extreme III SDHC card here, which I'll probably be trying to use first, but I'd probably like the other cards later.

Imaging-Resource tested the Sony Alpha SLT-A35 with a SanDisk Extreme III 8GB SDHC card, and photoreview.com.au tested the camera with a 32GB SanDisk Extreme Pro SDHC UHS-1 card. Neither site reported any problems with those cards.

I highly recommend "against" purchasing memory cards from E-Bay. Counterfeit memory cards are a big problem and you may get a rebadged (they just put a fake sticker on the card) cheap card of lesser capacity and/or lesser speed.

This is a case of "Buyer Beware" and "If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is a scam."

Just purchased PNY Pro 32GB SDHC class 10s for Sony Alpha 65v on Amazon. $35.

it's ebay with buyer protection. If it's not what it says it is, then we get our money back, there's no risk any more with ebay. and I have a 4gb Sandisk Extreme III 4GB SDHC card here, and looking on the back of it is the sandisk logo embedded in the black plastic on the back, kind of difficult to duplicate. I'd still take a chance anyway, there's zero reason to be afraid of ebay anymore for anything.

I do however want to thank you for the links to the reviews, I will read them when I get time, that's exactly what I was looking for.
