Just wondering what you all thought would be a good SD memory card choice for the Canon A410 (Digic II processor).


Does this camera benefit from the high speed SD cards?
If so, is the higher speed actually noticeable while taking pictures or just when reading/writing via USB to the PC?
At what speed (30x - 150X) is it first noticeable?
Which brand is preferred by most?
Are there any comparisons online?
Sorry for all the questions. Thanks! :D

i have the regular sandisk sd cards and they work fine with my a510. not any slower than it already is. sandisk seems to be the most popular around these forums.

Has anyone used the high speed cards with this camera? I was looking at the A-Data 150X (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820211315) since it was such a good deal..

IMO I wouldn't bother worrying about the speed of the card for this camera. I'm certain that a faster card wouldn't give a significant improvement in performance.

I would think that if you stick with a basic Kingston, Sandisk, Lexar or any other major name brand you can't go wrong.
