Getting the Canon EOS T2i - which memory card?

[Tink561]

I'm so excited to have ordered this camera. Which memory card should I get to get? I know it has to be a special kind because of the HD video, right?

Anything Class 6 or higher will work fine for video, and also allows you to hit the maximum frames-per-second when shooting bursts in Continuous Drive mode.

Anything faster than a Class 6 is overkill; it can improve the transfer-to-PC speed, but the camera won't get any faster.

I have a pair of Kingston 16G Class 6's, and they work just fine in my Rebel T2i....
