Ok guys, so I have searched the internet and this website and it seems that most people just say buy the most expensive, fastest memory card. However, the XS is only 10 mgpixel and I will be shooting jpeg 99% of the time almost never in RAW. The XS shoots about 3fps and I guess between 3-5mbytes per shot. So, about 15 megabytes per second max. What card will work for this? Will the Sandisk Ultra 2 work? It says it's only a class 4, but they claim it writes at 15mb/second.
Any advice? I don't want to buy a speed demon memory card when a medium class will do.
Thanks.

ultra II would be fine. i won't buy anything but extreme IV anymore, at least 8-gig because i'm tired of buying new cards everytime i get a new camera :D.
