SD Memory Cards

[memyselfandi]

Hi, I'm going on holiday to Japan in a few months and as it's a long way and I don't know when I'll get to go again I want to take some pictures whilst I'm there.

I have a Canon G9 camera with a couple of memory cards but I'm not sure which ones SD cards I should get to give me extra storage. I have been looking at the Sandisk 2GB cards, either the Extreme III or the Ultra II. Now I'm guessing that the Extreme card will be faster than the Ultra but given that I doubt I will be taking lots of shots in quick succession would this difference really be noticeable?

I'm looking at 2GB cards instead of 4GB cards so that I have any pictures I take stored on multiple cards, (to avoid all eggs in one basket syndrome!)

What do people suggest would be best to get?

Cheers

Surely you will be able to pick up extra cards cheaply in Japan.

I'm going to be travelling around quite a bit so don't know if/when I'll have time to (a) find a shop over there that sells them and (b) try and understand enough Japanese to be able to buy them, (I suspect "a" would be easier than "b" ), hence I wanted to pick some up in advance ... it's not as if they are that expensive over here ...

Cheers
