SanDisk Ultra II or Extreme III for an S3 IS?

[TravisN]

I just ordered an S3 IS online and cant wait for it to arrive. Now I am trying to deciede which SD card to get. Does anyone know what the maximum write speed of the camera is? I want the fastest card I can get, but if the camera only writes as fast as the Ultra II then why pay more for the Extreme III.

I use Ultra II in my SD700IS. I can shoot in full video mode without any problem with keepig up to the camera.

The Ultra II is faster than the S3. I have an Ultra II in my S3 and I have never been able to get the card to stop me in video or burst mode. I think the S3 writes at something like 48 and the Ultra II is around 65. You should have a lot of fun with your new camera.
