Default What should I get?

I gave my cousin my Nikon 5200 and forgot to take back the 1GB SD card .

Just grabbed myself a Canon SD550. I must say that's a very nice camera. I haven't get the chance to play around with it much, will do this weekend.

Btw, I'm looking to get some new memories. Wanting 2GB. Should I get 2 x 1GB for $60 a piece (150x speed), or one 2GB stick for 125 (but only 66x)

I want portability and don't want to carry two, but the price and the speed differences....

I often do single shots and sometimes continuous action shots too.... so speed is kinda important.

get the two cards since speed seems to be an issue.

It's on egg, the 1GB is like A-Data or something like that, and the 2GB is the cheapest one when sorted.

2 1 gigs is your best option. A 2 gig card is nice but thats a lot of trust in a single card to hold all your images. Failure does happen occassionally, and personally I would rather lose 1 card of 1 gig in info than 1 card of 2 gigs of info.
