SD Cards - What speed do I need?

beefster

I was looking to purchase two new SD cards. One for my 5 meg-pixel camera and another for an MP3 player. The prices vary wildly and the only real differance i can see is the speed they work at. This is where I am at a loss.........
Realistically... what speed do i actiually need for the camera and the mp3 player???

Any info or pointers to web pages welcome.

Ta very much.

With a title like that...this could be a well viewed thread

Camera has got to be faster than the mp3 player, that's a cert. It's all going to depend on the type of camera shots you take. If you take action photos, then go for a high speed card, but if most of your shots are posed, then it really won't make any difference what spped you go for. It will of course depend on the write speed of your camera as well. No point buying a card which the camera can't match the write speed on.
The rule is pretty much the same for the mp3 player. You'll have to look at the read/write speeds and guage from there.
