Hiya.
I just bought my Canon IXUS 800IS and am looking into buying a bigger storage card that what was given (512MB).
However, when I was shopping for one, I then realised that there is a 120x speed or faster version.
My knowledge of a PC is that when the motherboard is clocked at the RAM access speed of 533MHz, buying a 677MHz DDR II RAM will be a waste of money since the 677MHz will be clocked down to the RAM access speed of 533MHz. SO applying this theory to a PnS camera, will using a faster speed SD card be meaningless?
My question and advice from the experts here is :
a) Will a faster speed SD card improves / benefits a PnS camera user? Such as better battery optimisation and significantly faster saving of image on your PnS.
b) If it does benefit, which is a better one to consider? ScanDisk Ultra II, Ultra III or Kingston 120x, etc...
Hope to get your valuable feedback on this topic. Well if there is no benefit to a PnS camera user like the Ixus 800is, then I might as well get a 1GB normal speed and buy an extra battery... cos a faster speed 120x 1GB SD card cost almost the same as a 2GB SD card normal speed ~S$80.
Appreciate it folks.. Have a good weekend ahead.
