How fast should it be?Kelly Grannell said:SanDisk Ultra II is still much faster than the Kingston card.
Depends on the camera but most of the cameras out there can't use the speed of the new cards while taking pictures. The exception seems to be the video capabilities of some of the newer P&S cameras. Due to the size and quality of the video the fastest cards available are needed. If the card is not fast enough the video will shut down.Dan Murphy said:How fast should it be?
I use the Kingston card, SD, Elite Pro. It specs at 8.2MB/sec read rate,ndelaware said:Depends on the camera but most of the cameras out there can't use the speed of the new cards while taking pictures.

EVERYONE has felt that way at some point.anut4disney said:Man when I read everything ya'll have to say I feel as dumb as a doorknob.
Don't worry about it. You'll catch on soon enough. BTW, I've been using the Sandisk Ultra II 1GB SD card in my D50 and it's been great thus far. Costco had a sale on them on Black Friday for like $63 but they're back up to the regular price of $89 each. I thought about going with another brand and slower speed. But since I've got a good camera, I didn't want to take a chance with another card. Just my 2 cents...anut4disney said:Man when I read everything ya'll have to say I feel as dumb as a doorknob.

7.7MB/sec write rate. I shot some video while at WDW on a new S2 IS, at 30fps, 640 X 480 (I posted links here before) and they looked great, no halting or slowdown whatever. And for uploading, each night I transferred the day's take, about 300 or so files, about 1.5 meg each, took about 4 or so minutes I think, while I brushed my teeth in the washroom.

Long story short...no more SanDisk cards for me!
