Me?

16GB Lexar Professional SDHC 133x Class 10.

Overkill for the point & shoot S95, but I bought 2 sets of twin packs for my DSLR that holds 2 cards so I put the extra card to use and use the remaining card as a backup.

I think most class 6 cards would be adequate. I prefer SanDisk

I've three Sandisk Ultra cards with 4Gb capacity for my G10. It's a handy size which give me over 180 RAW images and over 600 JPEG Superfine Large. The G10 has no HD video, so a class 4 is plenty fast - certainly faster than the camera can write, since I've never once had a stutter or freeze.

8Gb Transcend class 6. I have been using these cards for a few years now. I fill them up, lock them, and replace with a new one. I store the filled cards in a safe place as a backup. It's amazing how inexpensive these cards have become.

Are you aware you can dump those cards to a hard drive and use the SD Card?

Wow really?;)

Then I'd have to find another way to backup my pictures. I'll just buy new cards to use... kinda reminds me of the old film days and keeping my negatives. Besides, SD cards are so cheap these days, why not keep them as a backup? I also backup all my pictures to mirrored hard drives in addition to the copy I keep locally on my system. I'm a bit OCD when it comes to backing up my important data.:D

I just picked up two new Transcend Class 10 8Gb cards at Amazon for $13 each. Considering I will get around 2K pictures per card, that works out to half a penny per picture.

Currently using PNY 16Gb Class 10 cards picked up a deal at Newegg. Have several San Disk, but like PNY also. 16GB is nice for HD video.
