For those wanting the old card, a few places still have stock with CDW having 72. Some on ebay but could be fakes

Yeah so a few points here.

Firstly, the High Endurance series was not replaced with the Max Endurance series. Both are current offerings from SanDisk. Just because the 32 GB card is not currently available from Amazon doesn't mean it was discontinued. They still have the 64, 128, 256, 512 GB High Endurance cards in stock, and the 32 GB will probably be back in stock soon. In fact it was just in stock yesterday for $9.85 so they probably sold out temporarily due to the lower price.

Second, the 32 GB High Endurance cards are available directly from SanDisk on their website for $9.99, so why would anyone go to eBay to find them? Or to CDW to pay more than the manufacturer themselves charge (which also ensures that they're genuine)?

Lastly, even if the High Endurance had been replaced with the Max Endurance (they haven't), why would anyone want to pay the same price for the lesser-capable series? High Endurance is 40,000 hours continuous recording and 2 year warranty vs 120,000 hours and 3 year warranty for the Max Endurance.

Because believe or not, this world has some pretty anal people who are set in some very strange ways.

The Max Endurance 32GB is $12.99 direct from San Disk. For $3 more, it's a no-brainer to choose it over the High Endurance.

B&H Photo is also a good source: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/prod...r_032g_an6ia_high_endurance_microsd_32gb.html

Some time ago I pontificated that 32 GB cards might go the way of 4GB, 8GB and 16GB. 32 is now the lowest that can be easily found, so I suspect its demise is just a matter of time.

So having a few extra 32GB cards might be a good thing, particularly since the price is a fraction of what it used to be.
