I am considering to buy a new 1 GB SD card for my Xacti C4. Do I need to care for special (expensive) high-speed cards or can I just buy the cheapest (and slowest) ones? Thank you for any help.

I have two "sandisk" cards, a standard one and a high speed card.
The high speed card is faster.
It speeds up loading movies, and though I have not timed it I believe it is faster transfering photos too.
It does not seem any different when taking pictures or recording movies.
Good Luck, John

I contacted Sanyo and they recommended using SD cards that have a speed of at least 10mb/s You can sue the slower cards for taking photos as that isnt as memory intensive but if you are taking a lot of longer shots of video they do recommend that faster cards. Lee www.xacti.co.ukPS i have used the slower cards for longer pieces of video and they have all recorded ok - so im not entirely sure whether its a marketing ploy to get us to buy the dearer cards? Has anyone done any scientific tests on transfer speeds? (not between camera and pc but the ability of the Xacti camera to keep up with the dataflow to the card?)
