The one on buy.com looks interesting... my problem is that the card I have right now is 30 mb/s and going to 6 mb/s I worry about a performance drop. I dunno. I guess for only 33 bucks I should just buy it and see how it is? Worse comes to worse it could be my backup card or something...

If you're shooting video, I'd go with as high a transfer rate as I can afford. Still photography, unless you're shooting pictures rapid fire in a high action area, you can get by with the slower transfer rates. It's more a matter of looking at it in the context of buffer speed. The faster the card, the faster the camera can transfer the picture to the card and free up that buffer space to take another picture.

Yeah, that's the thing - I want the card for shooting video. I have an 8 gig card right now and that's fine for pictures. It's just that the high speed cards are a tad expensive, but I guess you get what you pay for - I dont want the video I shoot to be crappy because i got a cheap card.

A slow buffer to card transfer rate can be rather noisome, even when shooting snaps.
