Cheers Jim & Johnny,I went for this in the end: Not the fastest but not the slowest..Someone on Amazon had used this with D80 and said it was fine/great.. £16 inc P&P...
Sd cards are cheap as chips?16gb class 6 is around £30
I've no idea, you said you needed a class 6.What is the difference between a normal sdhc and a sdhc video card?

as I'll be taking the plunge on a 550d I'm going to need a Class 6 SD card, any opinions on how much size I'm going to need to record a reasonable amount of footage and what I might expect to pay? They certainly aren't cheap!
I checked the reviews (online) and specs of the cards - as despite the class rating the data transfer rates still varied alot between cards. The one I bought (big piv posted above somewhere) is only class 4, but the transer rate specs were really good and online bods said it worked fine with video, rapid shooting etc.... so I'm not convinced that the 'class' rating is as useful as some of the other stats. I'm sure I saw some 'generic' cheaper class 6 cards that had lower transfer speeds.. Anyway... Its been fine in my D5000 - records the 720p video fine and I've had no problems whatsoever. It also means it uploads to the PC fast too (mine has an SD slot).
