Is this SD card adequate?

I ordered this yesterday because they were having a special rebate that brought it down to $25. Do you think it'll be adequate for my Canon S2 IS for taking brief videos?

Do any of you have experience with this brand? I'm just curious if it's reliable. I didn't want to cheap out, but I've got to put the brakes on my pre-trip spending.

Nothing wrong with it, but it's not like it's super cheap or something. It's about the same price at Walmart in Canada.

Kingston is a good brand, one of the big ones. And good you got the high speed card, as the video does really need those. Enjoy. And $25 is GREAT!!!!

Glad to hear that! If I'd known the $25 deal was just a one-day sale with it, I would have bought two. I have a 256 mg card I can use for pictures, then take short video clips on the 1 mg. and upload them all to my laptop when I get back to the room.

Kelly, I didn't even look at our Walmart. The prices I saw for the 1 gb cards were starting in the $40s and went up to around $100, so it seemed like a great deal to me.

When I clicked on your link, all I see was US$41, that's why I said it's no different than our WalMart. Where do you see the $25 price?

It must have just been on Saturday. They had the $41 price crossed out and lowered it to $35, and then offered a $10 rebate bringing it down to $25. I really wish I would have bought two at that price and at least mentioned on the forum so other people would have known!

Here's another, that isn't an Elite Pro, but it seems to be a good price! I do believe it's a $9 rebate for purchases this week only... http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=10399506&adid=17662

Hope this helps someone! I've thought about getting it, but would prefer a faster card too.
