Thanks guys...i just want to get decent equipment ..no sense in getting all high end stuff when im just starting out! But the sdhc class 10 card seems like a nice/semi high end inexpensive piece that i can afford.

done and done!

just ordered the card but also picked up this little number

Transcend P5 9-in-1 USB 2.0 Flash Memory Card Reader TS-RDP5W (BLACK) for $7.70

I'm sorry I didn't chime-in earlier, but I'm glad to see you bought the right card. For our purposes, anything above SDHC/Class 10 is overkill.

lol no worries..ya thats how i see it. Unless i have a high end dslr and im a professional i didnt see the logic in going overboard on this. Plus i dont think we would be able to tell the difference in quality with the current tech out there.

No, I mean it's basically pointless. Your camera only records and reads at certain speeds. SDHC/Class 10 is already faster than your camera. You could get a faster card, but your camera won't magically record/read any faster than it does already. The faster cards, as far as I know, are only a benefit for dumping footage to your computer, and 16GB, on SDHC/Class 10 takes maybe 20 minutes, at the most. Are we really in that big of a hurry? :)

I'm using Kingston SDHC Class 10 cards, in my T2i. Very cheap at the local Frys.

The only issue I had was discovering that SDHC cards fit the same slot as SD cards, but are not read by them (unless that reader is also listed as SDHC). I thought my desktop's built-in card readers were broken, at first. Spent a month connecting via USB cable instead, 'til I got that figured out.
