Ineed a sd card for my upcoming purchase of the Kodak v550.....which card out there will give me the best performance with this camera ie..read/write speeds....looking at either a 512k or even a 1gb sized card.

Thanks for your help

Sandisk Ultra II 1GB. It improve the shot-to-shot time significantly to about 1sec (excluding "burst mode" which uses internal cache).

Using "normal speed" Sandisk 256MB of 2 yrs ago, shot-shot time was almost 2sec. And worst of all, 640x480 video will stop at about 10sec, complaining "too slow memory card".

The bundled Toshiba "blue" packaging "normal speed" 256MB is also OK for video, but I feel shot-shot time is still slow, compared to Sandisk.
