need to buy an SD card

My wife's dog chewed up my SD card for my D80. Any recommends for a replacement? I need 8 or 16 gig. Best place to buy? Does brand matter?

If you don't need that many, just hit up amazon.com or newegg.com

Extreme II should be plenty for most purposes.

If you don't mind paying a bit more (and really, a good SD card will last ages) I highly recommend the SD Plus cards by Sandisk which have the built in USB. Really convenient.

DO NOT i tell you DO NOT get from ebay... a lot of fakes
and i recommend you to get 2 4gigs if you want 8 gig in the event that something does happen, you wont lose all of your photos.
look into the transfer speeds, but SDHC cards are a must for DSLR's.

My friend has an extreme 4 I'm sure he'd part with for cheap since he just moved from a D90 to D300. send me a PM if interested
