...I am buying a Canon Powershot A620 from the Target website, since I do not trust other sites like Amazon, Ebay, etc.(I don't want to go through all the fuss in case i have to return it). Anyway, it recommends that I buy a memory card with the camera which i was going to do anyway. The recommended SD memory card is a
Transcend 1GB SD Card and it costs $27.

I checked other cards and found that a 256MB SD memory card, with lower speed costs $34.

It doesn't mention any discounts or sales either. Is there something I'm missing (maybe a difference between just an "SD card" and an "SD MEMORY card"?)? It doesn't seem right that a 1GB card is cheaper than a 265MB from the same company. Will my camera be compatible with the 1GB?
Please take a look at both cards and tell me what you think. I just want to make sure i buy the right thing.
Also it mentions something about "SLC flash inside" the 1GB card.

"Well, I had a look at the Target website you have mentioned.
I don't think you have anything to worry about.
Go with the 1GB card....which costs $27.99. (you will find that most larger sized cards are actually cheaper than buying the smaller ones.
The card has a speed of 80X which will be fast enough.
"SLC" stands for...single-level-cell (meaning it has a faster write speed, lower power consumption and superior durability compared to others).
So, don't worry...it will be fine. Have fun with your fantastic new A620!
p.s. don't forget to get some powerful rechargeable AA NiMh batteries (2500 or higher...they make 3000 now) plus a charger."
