FAST SD card for the A460?

Can you recommend a FAST SD card for the A460?
It takes too long between shots, could this be solved by
using a faster memory card?
Thanks

Yes a faster card will make a big difference. Transcend makes a 2GB 150x card that you can pickup on Amazon for $20 +$7 shipping.

Pedro,
I am very interested to know if the faster card improved the shot-to-shot time on your Canon A460. The fastest cards are labeled either 150X or Class III.

Larry,
The 2 major factors in shot to shot time, is the time it takes your camera to focus, and the time it takes it to write the picture to the storage medium. For this reason most manufacturers recommend a high performance card. Either card you mentioned will substantially improve the shot to shot time over a standard SD card.
Many of the online retailers offer cameras at low profit margins with the intent of selling a sub standard SD card for a substantial profit. Some stores like 86 Street Photo and Video will tell you the camera is out of stock if you refuse to buy the extras.
