What memory card to get for Canon S100?
Hi,
I just bought a Canon Powershot S100 and was wondering what type of memory card would be best to get for it. I'm concerned that a slower card might negatively impact the camera's performance, but haven't been able to find any info on the writing speed. Any tips? Or anyone know of a better place to ask this?
Thanks,
Cornell

SD card technology is somewhat different from CF card technology in that SD cards do not contain a "controller". As such, SD cards are somewhat less affected by camera/card combinations.
The fastest SD card technology that the Canon S100 can handle is the SDXC UHS-I type of card, so the fastest card of that designation should be the limit on transfer speed from the shot buffer to the card. (Note that the transfer speed is still affected by the camera's electronics, not by the card speed ratings, so that any camera/card combination will probably transfer slower than the card ratings might imply.)
I am reading good things about the SanDisk 64GB SDXC Memory Card Extreme Pro Class 10 UHS-I and the Canon S100, for instance.

And I've got to say the S100 is almost too much fun! I feel like a kid in a candy store...
