I'm not sure what it is. I only have one SD card so far. I sold the ones I had, with the *ist DL. It's a 2 GB Sandisk. I think it's called Standard, High Speed - which is - anything but fast :-) I know, that it (or the camera) made me wait, when I was shooting the panorama sequence earlier today. I will probably make it a habit to shoot JPEG's when ever write speed is crutial, at least until I get a Sandsik Extreeme III card, next time I need more capasity :-)

When I bought the E-1 last week I had to buy a CF card, which I've never had before. I bought a Fuji one, knowing nothing about them. A few days later, because I need more capacity, I bought a Sandisk Extreme III and I'm amazed at the difference in speed. Shooting raw the E-1 gets through 12 frames at 3 fps before it has to stop to catch breath. It then recovers quite quickly. It was taking forever with the Fuji card. In fact, I've just tested them. The Fuji starts to slow down noticeably at the 9th frame, and takes 45 seconds to write 12 frames to the disk. The Sandisk wheezes a little at the 9th, but not so obviously, and takes 15 seconds to write to the disk. And the Sandisk was cheaper.
