Hi

I've just purchased a Canon Powershot S80 8 megapixel compact jobby from the internet for a forthcoming holiday and was wondering about what sort of speed memory cards I should get for it.

First of all though if someone can confirm that it takes SD flash media, as I've read several websites quoting it as taking compact flash.

From what I can see, the photos taken on highest quality on the camera will be between the 3 and 4 meg range, meaning I should get about 250 or so on the card, but because they're quite big should I be looking for a faster card? Also, what is the reliability of the cards like - Kingston in particular? For the sake of saving £15 or so I would rather not have it eat its way through my photos!

Cheers :)
