I think you might be disapointed if you don't use a high speed card for your videos...

Ouch!, how certain are you about the assertion you're making there...? My S3 is coming in a couple of weeks, and I'll got a couple of Sandisk standard SD cards! I thought that the only difference was a 12-photos-limited burst mode --besides the slower transference rate to the PC.

Really wanna know this!, thanks... Gbye.

In my A710, a standard speed SD card would not handle the highest move mode 640x30 frames. It did the stills fine, of course. I then tried the Sandisk SD ultra 2 cards and they work fine.

So, although I'm not sure about your camera, I'm sure about my A710. I seem to recall reading in one review or another that the high speed card was required.

I bought a 2GB Sandisk Ultra 2 at Staples for $50.

Wow! I did not know Canon was already planning to bring a S4 this spring!

I just spoke with Canon via phone and was told they have no plans to upgrade the S3 model in the near future.
