    Best Memory Cards?
    I'm looking to get a Class 10 8GB memory card to go in a Canon T2i.

    What is the best memory card for the money?

    Thanks.

    What are you planning to do with it? Personally, I usually choose brand names - Lexar, Sandisk, etc. Right now I think 8 GB is the price sweet spot. And I know faster is better. But I also think memory card speed is probably a bit overrated. Digital SLRs all have big buffers that protect you a bit from needing a fast card. As long as you don't fill the buffer the card speed doesn't really matter. On the other hand, I think video may really benefit from a faster card. That's something I don't know enough about, though. Maybe someone else here can help if it's video that you're concerned about.
