strelly Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Hey, 5MP file size is usually around 2.5 megs. So the quicker the write speed on the card is the quicker it'll store the pic.It all depends on your camera, if it is of high quality it'll be more likely to read and write to the SD card faster.I doubt you will notice a massive difference between the cards unless you take multiple pictures in quick sucession.Just go for the best in your price range i guess!Try ebuyer.com, amazon.com or dvd.co.uk they are usually cheap. Dvd.co.uk is free postage too!hope his helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 DON'T BUY ANY OF THOSE OFF EBAY, THEY'LL BE FAKESSeconded. Like people have said, if you do a lot of shots in quick succession then you may notice a difference, but the camera will have a 'buffer' to deal with some of that anyway. So unless you're firing off 10+ shots within, say 20 seconds you'll be fine. But it might still be worth spending an extra pound or whatever to get the faster one.

strelly Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 does it make a difference if i'm using "video" mode?It wont make a difference with the video mode, my 5MP camera records at 1.14MB/s at its best quality setting.So any card that writes at over 1.5 meg a second will be fine!I reckon you should get this one, fast and cheap!
