Ok.. Thanks to some tips here I ended up buying an SD400.. Here is how it went.

Found a great deal on Rossman's site GottaDeal.com for the SD400 for $309 shipped from Dell. I jumped on the deal and then realized it was back-ordered and I wouldnt get it till June 10th or something. Well this is a problem, because I am going to NYC on 5/30 and I needed a camera. :p

So I packed up my motorcycle and headed to best buy at 9:35pm figuring I would get a highschool boy more interested in my motorcycle then looking at all the coupons I used on Dell's site and get a pricematch. Well it worked! Not only did they pricematch -10% but I got a $25 gift card for buying a camera.. :D

So, this SD400 takes SD cards, and I was looking at newegg for some. I would really like to get a 512mb or a gig card, but are they all the same?

Looking at the different cards is there any differnce between the RiDATA & the Kingston? The TWINMOS & ROSEWILL both claim to be "Low Power" consumption... Are they all? Are some faster than others?

Someone school me on the facts of SD Cards!

Thanks!
