SanDisk 128GB Extreme PRO MicroSD Card Drops Below Last Prime Day Price, Feels Like an Amazon Giveaway
If you've ever lost footage or had your camera freeze up in the middle of recording, you know how critical a good memory card really is. If you lose all the work you just did, there's no way you want to do it all again. And you don't want to lose important memories you took while on a trip or even video game saves. On the flip side, you might just need to expand the memory for a console or a device you're using. And you can do all this with a new microSD card. We've got one in mind, too. And you won't have to spend too much to get that security you're looking for, or the extra storage space for things like all your new Switch 2 games. See at Amazon Run to Amazon right now to get the SanDisk 128B Extreme Pro SDXC Memory Card for $33, down from its usual price of $60. That's $27 off and a discount of 45%. This microSD card is compatible with a wide variety of devices. It uses UHS-II technology, which gives it for blisteringly fast transfer speeds of up to 280MB per second read and up to 150MB per second write. That means less transfer time as well as write speeds that mean no more lag and issues with filming video. Plus, it's shockproof, temperature-proof, waterproof, and even X-ray-proof. It's designed to withstand the elements, wherever it is you end up taking it. That peace of mind is something you don't often get from cheaper cards, and it actually means something here, too. You won't have to worry about the card getting messed up because a puddle might have splashed it. The 128GB capacity is large enough to store plenty of high-quality video or thousands of images, yet still small and affordable enough to keep as a dedicated card for specific projects. If you're a photographer, videographer, drone operator, or even a student working on media production, this is the kind of card that you should keep on you at all times, or at least a double of if something happens to your original. Memory cards aren't the most exciting thing to buy, but the right one makes a world of difference. And when you can get a card like this for just $33 that's also fast, durable, and backed by a name like SanDisk, it's really a good idea all around. If you've been meaning to replace an older card or need a backup, now's the time to grab this deal. See at Amazon

Amateur B.C. photographer waits 2 days for picture of bald eagle on world's tallest totem pole
Adam meets a man who lost a camera card, before finding the perfect picture. Adam meets a man who lost a camera card, before finding the perfect picture. VICTORIA, B.C. — Carlos Paniagua is kneeling in the middle of the field, where he's been searching for countless hours over two days. 'It's like trying to find a needle in a haystack,' Carlos says, parting the tall blades of grass Yesterday, he lost his camera's memory card, which contained more than 3,000 photos. 'Well, it felt very bad,' Carlos says. 'I was very upset.' While the amateur photographer's phone is filled with pictures he's taken of all sorts of other animals, the memory card featured just one — a bald eagle. 'They're magnificent,' Carlos smiles. 'I love this animal.' That's why he waited in Victoria's Beacon Hill Park for almost six hours to finally get a picture of a bald eagle perched on top of the world's tallest totem pole. 'They can come from anywhere, so I only have a few seconds to get ready,' Carlos says pointing his camera with a long lens attached to tripod. 'My camera is already focused on the top of the totem pole.' While he's already waited another few hours today, trying to see his beloved bald eagle again with no success, Carlos is undeterred. 'Look at that!' He smiles scanning the park which overlooks the ocean and mountains. 'It's the best view!' You see, after growing up in South America, Carlos has travelled around more than 100 countries. 'I've basically seen all the wonders of the world,' Carlos says. 'Both natural and man-made.' But after also visiting all our provinces and territories, he's found Canada is by far the best. 'I never take Canada for granted,' Carlos beams. 'This is it!' So even if the top of the totem pole stays empty, Carlos' heart remains full. 'Oh! Look at that!' Carlos stops in the middle of what he was saying and rushes to his camera. 'It's coming!' The eagle flies past the pole, before circling back, and landing right where Carlos had focused his camera's lens. 'It's an honour to photograph such amazing animals,' Carlos smiles. But although he's grateful for this second chance to get the shot, Carlos says just being with that bird in this place is what fills him with joy. 'You already lived the most wonderful moment,' Carlos says. 'Not with your camera, but with your eyes and memory.' And when you take the moment to really relish what can't be contained on a card, you'll find the wonderful memories can never really be lost.
