I received a Samsung digital camera for Xmas and have no idea what type of memory card to purchase. I am not looking to spend alot of money but I don't want to sacrifice quality either. Most likely, your camera takes a "secure digital" or "SD" card. Check the manual. Your manual will also give you an idea how many images or how much video various size cards will hold, so look for that information also.
Sandisk and Lexar come bundled with image recovery software that you copy onto your computer before you format the card. I am sure that the cards all pretty much perform the same, but these brands have a lifetime warranty for some of their products, so that makes me think they are built to higher standards. As far as day-to-day use, I have some generic and some of each brand I named and they all work. The contacts on the brand name cameras seem to have the equivalent of the "thunk" that you look for when you shut a car door to check it's quality, if you know what I mean. You don't wonder, "Is it in there right?" because it just feels right. I don't buy generics any more, though. I just end up getting them "with things" somehow.
Of course, you'll need a decent memory card and I recommend a genuine Sandisk Ultra II (60X) or Extreme III (133X) of at least 1GB - preferably 2 GB - for either camera. Lexar is another excellent card supplier and they have the "Professional" 133X as well as the Platinum 80X to choose from. Both Lexar and Sandisk come with image recovery software and limited lifetime warranties.
You probably can use a 512 MB card, but the Sandisk cards I mentioned have a rebate running through the end of the year, so why bother? I do not know about the warranties or image recovery with the slower cards, either, so be sure you check into that before you buy.
If you can't find the rebate elsewhere, I saw it at http://www.bhphotovideo.com get like a 512MB I have not heard of any bad memory cards, so I would just get whatever is on sale. Lexar, Kingston, Sandisk, ATP, GTX, Rocketfish and Valgear all make a good quality SD Memory card. You first need to determine what type of memory card your camera will take (consult the manual). Most likely, it takes SD cards. If you'll be taking video, or want to speed up the transfer process to your PC or printer, consider an accelerated card. I particularly like the 1 GB Transcend 80x cards, which you can get at newegg for $21 - see http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as... i don't know about memory cards, but some cameras take floppy discs. i know that almost nobody uses them, but they work and aren't that expensive.
