Getting a 550D soon and wanted to know the best memory card for shooting HD video.

I've seen these two (not sure if I can provide links).

£24.79 SanDisk Extreme Pro 8GB SDHC Card 95MB/s

£12.89 Transcend 16GB SDHC Class 10 Memory Card

The Transcend is half the price for double the memory, and reviews are saying it works just as well.

Can anyone recommend anything better for under £25?
 
No to the links :p

And neither :p The video on a 550d wont tax many memory cards but I'd recommend:

SanDisk Secure Digital High Capacity Card Extreme Video HD 16GB £18.50
 
Ive been using a Integral SDHC Class 10 16GB card with my 60D with no problems at all. I would try to make sure you get a class 10 card just to guarantee a minimum speed. Ive just looked at the pricing for my Integral card, and I should really buy a few more. :P

But that transcend card would be fine. The main difference would be if you were using a card reader to take the files of the SD card. The SanDisk would be quicker in this regard.
