The card shouldn't really be the issue here. What is needed and provided on most decent cameras, is a buffer that will take at the very least 3 or 4 JPG and ideally RAW files. For comparison, my own will do 21 RAW files at 15MB per pop, before the card itself comes into play. I cannot believe that a Kodak Compact would have a buffer where the cardspeed itself became an issue, unless the user was burst shooting and that for a few seconds.

And now for something different. 1GB SD card. Cheap cheerful and £10.99. 2GB version around £23-£24. Forget Jessops. PM will bring details. If you really want a higher speed SD card, then let me know and I will find you a good price. My finger is on the pulse with this issue, though not many others...
