For Christmass my step sister wants a secure digital(SD) card for her digital camera. The model she wants is 512mb by viking. I looked it up and it had some questions about other brands compared to this one.

1) I assume as long as its a SD card it will be compatable with her camera. Is this true?

2) Corsair and Kingston both have models with 133x wire speed while the viking one was 60x i think. Does speed matter noticably?

these are the 2 models i am looking:
corsair
Kingston

Thanks for your time
 
SD is sorta a standard, to be called, SD, the memory has to conform to that standard, so it'll work. i dunno about the difference in speed though ;)
 
All SD cards should work in any device that supports SD media. Of course, in practice you might find this to not be the case. Of course, I'm willing to say that in all likelihood it'll work in her camera.

As for speeds - it might matter, it might not. Depends on the camera we're talking about.

For example, it didn't matter what kind of CF media was used in the digital Rebel, the max write speed it had was slightly over 1 MB/s. It's successor, the Rebel XT, could actually take advantage of the speed of faster media.
