I have bought canon sd700 card, but I don't know which memory card works best with it, I know that the speed of the memory card is also important as well as the capacity.

I own a Canon SD700, and **LOVE IT!!**. Hands down, it is the best camera I have ever owned. I realize that the photos will not have the depth and color saturation that a larger lens would allow on a bigger camera, such as a dSLR. However, with the small size, fabulous image stabilization, and long battery life, I cannot imagine wanting a better camera for now.
The SD700 does handle capacities up to 4GB (roughly 2,000 pictures at max resolution). That's enough to last for a very, very long time without having to clear out the memory card. The only problem I have had in using SD cards above 2GB is that sometimes standalone memory card readers, esp. ones built into laptops, will not read the card properly. However, when I attach my Canon SD700 to my PC using the mini-USB cable, I have had no problems reading all of the images off of there.
Please feel free to let me know if you have any other questions or concerns regarding using SD cards for your digital camera. With prices as cheap as they are right now, it makes a lot of sense to spring for the highest capacity available (either 2GB ior 4GB).

I'd get a Sandisk Ultra II, 1 GB size.
Sandisk makes some nice higher speed cards in SD format (and others) with a lifetime warranty. The Ultra II is "mid range" high speed and Extreme III is ultra high speed. We have an Extreme in my wife's D50 and never had a problem with write speed. Click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click.....
The benchmark of 1X is a transfer rate of 150 KB per second.
40X is a common card, so the transfer rate would be 6 MB per second.
Sandisk Ultra II claims a minimum write speed of 60X or 9 MB per second, and a minimum read speed of 66X or 10 MB per second.
Sandisk Extreme III claims a minimum write and read speed of 133X or 20 MB per second.

I till finally now owned an similar Canon that I loved, the A530. i have were given not owned a Sony digital digital camera. i will help you word of this, in spite of the actual undeniable reality that: optimal photographers help you word of that the perfect cameras are made by employing way of businesses that for the era of straightforward words make cameras, because of truth of approaches they produce the lenses (that are patently necessary to the wide-spread of the photo). i might want to bypass with the Canon. it really is what Canon does. in basic terms a contact.

GO TO FRYS ELECTRONICS, YOU CAN GET A 1 GIG SD CARD FOR AROUND 50.00 AND A 2 GIG FOR UNDER 100.00
IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT BRAND IT IS. THEY ALL WORK AT THE SAME SPEED. ITS THE CAMERA THAT ASSURES THE SPEED OF THE PICTURES BEING TAKEN. NOT THE SD CARD.

www.newegg.com has much better prices and service than Fry's. (Seems like everything I buy at Fry's is broken) I have used A-data 1gig card(50x), works fine in my Canon A700, costs 20 bucks plus shipping. If you haven't dealt with newegg yet you don't know how good they are. Good prices, service and shipping. I haven't been to Fry's or CompUSA since my son discovered newegg.
