canon digital camera memory card locked image
John B
I recently purchased a Canon EOS 40D and plan on personal non professional use. Are some cards faster than others? Should I purchase more than one card?
Answer
There are two rules of thought on this... one is buy the biggest card your camera can use, then you spend less time changing the card and possibly losing one when you switch it out... the other is to stick with several smaller cards that way if the card dies (all memory cards like all hard drives have a limited lifespan its only a matter of when not if they will fail) you don't lose everything.
Personally for family photos and such I buy large 2 gb cards that and treat them like film... I shoot one and then retire, save the files to a hard drive and keep all the filled up memory cards in a lock box as if they were negatives. Yes that is a little over kill, but considering how cheap the memory is and how many hard drives I've lost I still prefer to do that for my form of back up.
And yes, there are different speeds of memory. if your dealing with say, Sandisk you have the regular chips, Extreme II, Extreme III, Extreme IV.... probably will be a five sooner or later. Each chip is faster than the other and that will be noticed when you down load the files from the chip to your computer. However, few camera will see the chip speed as a big bottle neck, the ones that do will benefit from say an Extreme II chip, but going beyond that is a waste as far as camera performance is concerned.
And yes you should purchase more than one, unless you have a computer with you all the time so you can down load all the files and reformat the chip each time you fill it.... or of course just keep buying new ones when you will up the olds ones.

Can I use a 4 GB memory card Kingstone on a Canon SD 600 digital cam?
BU
When I put a 4 GB memory card on my digital cam, I get an Error and Locked card (when unlocked) on the screen. The cam do not give me the option of formatting.
Answer
No, you can't use the 4GB Kingston SDHC (high capacity SD) card in your camera.
Most cameras released early 2007 and later, are able to use SDHC cards...but the SD600, which was released early 2006 is not able to use them. So, you're limited to 2GB SD cards.
