aaah you didnt check the links, my budget is around Rs 2000 for the SD card. Now why the MicroSD because the awesome Strontium Nitro dosnt come in SD format in India,at the moment,hence. I have sorted the very best among SD at that budget and put up the links,just check them and give your inputs.The dp says its alright but I thought lets be sure.::):

hmm but nitro is not that great actually with 70MBps read...even the sony one beats it with write speed of 40MBps and read speed of 95MBps

Sandisk extreme also have 45MBps write and 95MBps read ...sandisk extreme pro have around 80MBps write ;)

if u just need 32GB only then find a good deal on Sandisk extreme 32GB SanDisk 32 GB 45 MB/s Extreme HD Video SDHC Memory Card - SanDisk: Flipkart.com

I use Sandisk micro sd card with an adaptor for D7000. Other card is from transcend. Both work as backup cards 32GB + 32GB. No problems at all.

Get a good bag which can accommodate few lens and you gadgets too, like, Lowepro pro Runner 200 AW. Pretty good camera bag.

@ Sujoy
Thank you. I would either get the Sandisk or the Sony. The Strontium is atleast a Rs 1000 and Rs 700 cheaper than the Sandisk and Sony but yes with marginal performance hit as you have pointed out.

Thank you for that valuable input. Yes a good bag is an absolute necessity.I have to choose a one which can carry atleast two lens but be compact too.Im planning to add a third Lens the Canon 18-135mm STM IS by Diwali! The Lowepros you and sujoy mentioned are the ones I have shortlisted. In between I found this one too plesae check and let me know if its good....*www.ebay.in/itm/backpack-camera-no...ies&hash=item565b8d7dea&_uhb=1#ht_3275wt_1021

That looks very similar to Lowepro. Not sure how well it will stand the wear and tear.

dont go for cheap brands when you are putting sophisticated camera lenses worth 1 lakh (in future) ...go for good brands only.

Also I have lowepro 200AW and its just too big for 2 lens and a cam with lens...u will find it empty :D I bough it as a storage with a future plan for 3 lens+flash+tc+dslr with 150-500 or 300f4 attached ;)

you can have a smaller bag with quick access and in future go with big bags

@ Sujoy Ok....but that bag is something I have my eye set up upon. After getting the 18-135 STM lens ill get it.

Canon has given me an EOS bag which is small, convenient and can carry the Camera with an 18-55mm and a Zoom Lens,its padded, has a removable dual compartment design and has some more pockets and zippers for some filters ,memory cards etc etc.. It quite sufficient for the moment and the padding well not as good as the Lowepro but good enough,honestly,for a freebie,it will do the work,I believe.Its black outside with red inside.Very subtle with a simple EOS badging in black too,subdued!

The biggest surprise was the 8GB Lexar Platinum II Class 10 UHS-1 SD memory Card!!!:-D This offer of the bag and the 8GB [Normally its 4GB] high Quality SD card is only till September 30 part of the festive offer !!!:cloud9: Amazing Value this kit.....thanks Canon!

yaah that memory card is really good...and class 10 :) I got a crappy verbitum 4 GB class 4 with my dslr and the card used to hand my dlsr...had to replace it in the 1st month itself

I thought any Class 6 and above will do ,but doing various forums people actually benefited from a Class 10 UHS-1 card when doing RAW Bursts or even JPEG. Transfer and delete times were also better and the wait time, for the internal buffer when filled up, also reduced.

Grand Master
yes right ...as the size of file have increased u will need faster write speed too...mine is class 6 sandisk ultra but my file size is just 4MB jpeg ....I never felt any lag

My RAW file size is around 30MB! I think I will shoot only in RAW thats the sole reason I bought a DSLR negating EOS-M or Nikon J1 or the Sony NEX-5.

@Sujoy,Im looking for a Petal Hood to isolate sunlight and to protect the lens too. I checked some by Marumi but at Rs 1200 they were expensive,any idea how much for a 58mm one and any brands ?
 

sujoyp

Grand Master
1200 is not that expensive considering its a branded one...I havent checked any third party hood till now coz most lens have it ...will check and tell you later.
