Digital cameras - memory

[year2late]

SanDisk 1GB
SD Card $74.99


SanDisk 512MB
Ultra II SD Card $65.99

What is realistic difference between the regular and the Ultra II?
Will a total novice notice the difference? I like the idea of getting all my vacation piccs on one card, so the 1GB is appealling.

A faster write speed, which for the non professional photographer would never be noticed.

So for a true novice (liek myself) the Ultra II is all but worthless. That is kinda what I thought. I will go for capacity!

Thanks.

Just be sure you camera will support the 1GB card.... some do not support that much memory
