Got a new camera, what size mem. stick?

I just bought the new S2 IS, what size memory stick should I buy??

A big, fast one.

I have a 2G? stick for mine, but got the fast transfer rate stick so the wait time between pics is nil. The speed of the stick makes a big difference in how quickly you can take the next shot.

Get the biggest one you can afford. Depending on the resolution a 1 gigabyte card will hold thousands of pictures.

hmm... do you know HOW fast is fast? I found one that says "high speed" Read: 15 MBps max. Write: 13 MBps max. .....?

The one I have is a SanDisk Ultra 2:

Made a mistake, it's a 512 MB, the thumb drive I have to transfer between comps is the 2G. I took pics of an entire race and didn't come close to filling up the 512 MB card.

I have a one gig card and on the highest Resolution You can get about 660 pics - lower resolution = a looott more pics. I am actually contemplating on getting another one that is a bit smaller just to have another one besides the 16mb on hand. Not sure. I might go ahead and get another gig card. I can't fathom a 2-3-4 gig card. I think the 4 gig cards are about as much as the camera itself!

Read The .... Manual and see what your camera's manufacturer suggests.
