Hello. I just got a Rebel XS yesterday and already love it. Which SD card should I get for it? Im looking for one that will allow me to make use of the 3fps and not have to stop to write the image. Not sure what the class means. Thank you.

If you're shooting RAW, the camera's buffer can handle 5 frames, and after that, any card will need some time to write. Card speed will make a difference only in how fast you can resume shooting after the buffer fills. Jon

A faster card, or shooting at less than full burst rate (holding the shutter down in Continuous until the camera stops) can let you exceed that. Jon
