Hi guys i'm an amateur photographer; i love taking pictures of stuff not for professional use but for fun and for good memories and was looking to get a better camera than the one i own like the new Nikon Coolpix s8100. I was looking for storage options for the camera and it takes SD cards and on amazon, it said i could get the camera with this brand of SD card http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-High-...3-008G-P31/dp/B002GEQDK4/ref=pd_bxgy_p_text_b
I was wondering why it was so expensive for the amount of storage in it (i'm used to paying dirt cheap for SD and microSD cards) and i read it holds pictures and videos better? The price of that SD card i linked to was originally over a 100 dollars which sounds crazy to me. I'm not much of a camera expert and i'm not shooting professionally, but more semi-non casual (party events, landscape, people).
So my question is, does the TYPE and brand of SD card matter? And is that one i linked to even worth it for a guy like me? Thanks for opinions.
