SD cards, which one to go for....

[Dominic H]

Morning all,

I've just been given a Panasonic TZ-3, very nice. I need to order an SD card, as a complete novice I'm baffled by the selection/varieties available. I'm mainly going to use it for snaps of the kids,holidays and close ups of watches (for work). I take it that comparing a Sandisk 2GB with a Sandisk Extreme III 2GB isn't comparing eggs with eggs....
Can anyone reccommend a card?

Stick with one of the big names, Sandisk or Kingston, and you can't really go wrong. The basic one will be fine, the more expensive version (eg Ultra, Extreme) offer faster write speeds which is most useful for shutter drive, but will make any shooting more responsive. COnsidering you can get one of the fast ones for under £20 you may as well go for it.

Thanks AFT, Super mega extreme it is then, and damn the expense.....
