Memory card for DSLR

[Big Chris]

Buying my first DSLR at the weekend - a Canon 750D. Got a nipper on the way and want to take some decent pics of family life (except for all the poo).

Is there a minimim read/write speed I should be looking for when it comes to memory cards? I'm buying the camera for photos, can't see myself taking many videos and I've got a Galaxy S6 if I do decide I want to.

Bit confused by all the speeds, classes and everything else

Thanks for the info guys, really appreciate it. I've found a few SanDisk cards on the Rainforest, would that fall into the potentially dodgy category some of you have mentioned or is it a safe bet?

Good shout on the two smaller v one bigger cards too, didn't think of the potentail failure of a card.

Yeah it's direct from SanDisk, I'll get it done.
