SD Memory Card - so confused!!

[kacy130]

I am a proud new owner of a Canon Powershot A510 3.2mp. This is my first digital camera so I am a newbie. It only comes with a 16mb card and I want to get a 256 or 512mb. It seems like the 512mb is a better choice because it's not much more. I have been doing my homework and now am totally confused.

Is there any that are not compatible with this camera? I would like a card with a fast speed rating after doing some reading.

What key words do I look for or use in my search. Is there any brands to stay away from.

Any help advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm so dazed & confused after looking & reading. I was considering this one - any opinions?

Thank you.

The Kingston card you have linked would work quite well for the A510. Granted it is not the fastest card out there, but the A510 does not need speed to still have good functionality. Rather than buy.com how about the same card at newegg.com http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820160024

And to answer your email...
While it is not neccessary to have a high speed card would also be good investment. They are also easier to get rid of if you find yourself needing see it go.
I wouldn't hesitate to buy any one of these myself if I were chosing one right now...
