Sd cards for a Digital Camera.?

Hi. i have a canon digital camera and I will be going on a trip to Europe for 3 weeks. I am planning on taking a ton of pictures and i was wondering if anyone new any sd cards with really good memory. my card can only hold around 55, but i need a lot more. plus im looking for a reliable card. i heard online that someone took 500 pics on a trip, got home, and all 500 just dissapeared, i can't have that happen.

know of anything? THanks!!!

I bought an SD memory card from www.Tigerdirect.com for my Canon camera. And it works just fine.

If you are going to take only still pictures, then a 1 or 2 Gigabyte memory card will let you store several hundred pictures. But if you are going to record movies, then perhaps you should get an 8 Gigabyte memory card.

Perhaps that person, who lost 500 pictures from Europe on his SD memory card, didn't handle his memory card properly and accidently erased the pictures there.

Even SD cards are vulnerable to static electricity. And if you take out an SD card, touch its electical contacts, and there is a static electricity spark that goes from your fingers to the SD card, then all information on that card may be erased.

To avoid such an accident, you should avoid touching the electrical contacts on your SD memory card.

To find out what kind of an SD memory card you need for your camera, you can search by the model number of your Canon camera at this site:

While there are many quality brands. I have always used Sandisk for all my flash memory needs. Thumb drives, SD cards, and even my MP3 player. Never had a problem.

go with sandisk sd cards. theyre pretty reliable and if your planning to take alot of pics then go with a 2gig card. you can probably get a pack of 2, 2gig cards at futureshop

sandisk or kingston card
2 gb should do
