You're not by chance a Head shaver, are you?

You're right about the HC, I wasn't paying attention.

The one thing that is absolutely necessary if you want to make nice images is paying attention. :thumbup:

Thanks for the sound advice I've never purchased an SD card before, always dealt with Sony memory sticks. That part of my question was rather silly in retrospect

Not sure what that is?

OK, guess not

I knew a guy on another forum who went on a mission trip there around the same time and his name was also Tim.

I have a 16GB stick now for my sony p&s...I like it because I don't have to worry about how many photos I take along with videos as well. If I'm on a trip or a vacation I like to only have to worry about the one card that's in my camera. For example I went on a missioin trip to Haiti for 10 days in June and took a bunch of videos and thousands of pictures, and I just liked not having to worry about space.

The only thing I worry about with BIG cards is - if they go down you can lose a lot. I know there are recovery programs etc out there, but I'm less nervous if I take a few smaller cards instead.

So what about the speed of the card? When would I notice a difference?

During the transfer from card to computer mostly.

Haha ok, well for half the price I can wait a few minutes then. If it was something that effected the camera's ability to take pictures then that'd be a different story.

That won't happen until you move up to a UDMA capable camera like the D300/D300s.
