Thanks Zcf.
Currently I am using sandisk ultra II (60X), and no problem with it.
Most of the time, I shot in JPEG. And seldom use continuous shoots.
Is there any significant differences between 50X and 60X/80X ?
There isn't much significant differences. Not when the 350D buffer is big enough about 20 jpgs at 3FPS, and 6RAW files at 3FPS. Since you don't shoot continous mode, you won't even be able to press the shutter fast enough to reach the state where you can't take any photos.
Since you shoot only JPG... I think even a simple normal speed card is enough.
Playback will be noticably slower though.
If I were you I'd just take 2x kingston instead of 1x ultra 2. I'll avoid Lexar, 2 different batches of cards has failed on me, but that's just me. I dun wanna risk losing all my photos again. It's got nothing to do with the card, but problems with canon and lexar cards. It's just me though. and a couple of other guys. Not everyone.
Better take heed.. No point buying too expensive cards if you're not going to use its full potential anyway. Think a 2GB card cost more than $400 the same time last year. I bought my Ultra II 1GB card at $140 last year, the same price you can get a Ultra II 2GB card now. No point throwing your $$ away unless it's going to be buying something that you need.
The only time I've ever managed to max out the buffer during shooting with the Ultra II card was during some benchmarking tests that I did.
I've not even managed to max out the buffer shooting with a slower Seagate 8GB MD shooting RAW either.
