Recommended SD card speed

[doudydoudy]

Hi

i'm planning to get the canon s2 as soon as i find it and need a sd card with it, i've found lots of cards .. can't really make my mind which one to buy

speeds r 45x, 60x, 66x, 80x, 133x (only by sandisk)

as for rapid shooting what is the speed i need ?? does movie recording recommend high speed cards as well ?


thanks

my guesstimates...

in movie mode, it can fill up 1gb in 8 mins (480 secs). that's roughly 2mb/s

in burst mode, it can take at 2.4 fps. at full res, pics are about 3 mb. this requires roughly 7.2mb/s.

the sandisk ultra ii (60x) claims 9mb/s write speed.

i already bought the sandisk ultra ii 1gb from caplink for 86$ shipped. there are probably better deals, but i didn't want to wait.
