Canon 450D SD Cards - Urgent Advice Please?

Hi folks,

Got to get an order in ASAP to get some memory cards to me for tomorrow.

Please could you advice me on the best ones to get
Fastest?
Best Quality?

I do normally use Sandisk but open to suggestions.

I look forward to your responses

Kind regards

Ian

I use Sandisk Ultra Category 4 15MB/s' cards in my T1i. They are fast enough to deliver the burst rate that the T1i can produce and are adequate for recording 720P videos.

Beware of speed:
* Class 2: 16 Mbit/s (2 MB/s)
* Class 4: 32 Mbit/s (4 MB/s)
* Class 6: 48 Mbit/s (6 MB/s)
* Class 10: 80 Mbit/s (10 MB/s)
Buy > class 4.
Class 6 recommended
But depends what use you have for them.

Sandisk are great.

Sandisk is probably your best bet seeing as you have to buy local. Class 4 or class 6 should be fine. Class 6 if you ever want to shoot HD video (to be safe).

Class ratings are for minimum speeds, not maximum. Some Class 4's will work just as well as Class 6's. My Lexar Class 4 does the same as my Transcend Class 6, you'll hit the 450D's buffer long before your mem card slows down.

Thanks very much folks... got them ordered off the back of this
