Canon S3-IS camera...how fast of an SD card?

[EstimateMe]

I've had just a regular speed 512mb SD card for my Canon A520, but was wondering if anybody knows if a 50x or 60x SD card will be fast enough to keep up with the new camera.

There will be instances where we will be rapidly shooting, so if the 60x is worth it over a 50x card, I'll spring for it.

Does anybody have experience with this?

50x will be plenty. P&Ss like the S3IS will go nowhere near the speed that the card is capable of, even on burst.

Awesome, thanks! If I could ask, do you think this would be a pretty good deal for $31.93 after google checkout and not having to deal w/ rebates?

Yes, that's definitely a good price for a 2GB card.
