Nikon P520 memory cards?

[karin51]

Is it necessary to have a Professional Grade 700X memory card for this camera? They run over $100 for a 4 GB!

No, they are not necessary. I would think a Class 6 and above SD card should be fine. When buying make sure to read the specs to check the write speed.

You can get a Class 10 card for about 30-40 for a 32gig one with 45 or 50mb/second speed that will work just fine. There are also SanDisk Extreme PRO cards with 95MB/s speeds for a lot less than $25 per gig. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=extreme+pro&N=-1&isNodeId=1
