canon digi. camera owners -- what's a good SD card for a canon a520?

[LordSnailz]

I'm not sure what SD card I should pick up speedwise, the current one that came with the camera is so slow! It takes a good 2-3 seconds before I can retake the next picture ... do I need the speeds from the SanDisk Ultra II 1GB SD or would a regular Kingston 1GB Elite Pro work?

I'm hoping I can use this when I upgrade to maybe a DSLR ... would the latter cheaper one work? Hoping I can grab this tonight.

TIA!

We bought cheap SanDisk 512MB SecureDigital for $9.99 AR @ CC on BF

Works fine in the Canon PowerShot A520, sweet little digicam.

dpreview.
look at the reviews
its your camera, not the card. save ur money
the 6x0 series is much faster

Wouldn't buying a Ultra II or Elite Pro for a "budget" digicam be overkill?

I would also look into the possibility that your camera is not a speed demon in the first place, as noted by DPReview.

He's interested from the point of view of upgrading to a more demanding unit, so it may make sense in that regard.
