Canon SD850IS memory Card

[xyzzy]

I am going to buy as 850IS and I could use some advice on a memory card. What would work best in this camera? How fast does the card need to be for good quality video?

Do I need to go up to something like the Sandisk Extereme or does the Ultra work just as well?

I can't seem to get my head around how fast a card I need.

60x (Ultra-II in Sandisk) is fine. But no need to buy Sandisk brand, SD cards are pretty much commodities at this point. When I was last buying cards I found some Transcend 150x cards on newegg.com that were actually cheaper then the 60x cards, so I bought them.

The camera can't push bytes faster then the 60x, so anything higher then that is just for downloading via a card reader.

Thank you for the help
