Default Canon A720, Any good? anyhting better in price range?

I don't have that particular card, but I did have problems with a 4Gig card.
I did a bit of research, and I found out that, whatever card you put into
the camera, you should format it first in the camra before shooting
pictures.

I've done that with cards subsequent to the one I had trouble with, and
everything has worked fine since.

Good Luck,
Dudley

I just purchased a Canon A720IS but have not used it yet. I have read that
there is a longer than average wait time between photos. I paid $188
Canadian for it on sale in Canada, but it's even cheaper in the US.

I have a question about memory media for this camera. I bought a Dane-Elec
2GB SD Memory card for this camera online for $14.95 CDN and am waiting
for it to arrive. I've read a few complaints about this card not working
properly with a card reader to USB2 or with the camera itself. Has anyone
any experience with using this model of memory card?

I see good reviews on this camera, with some complaints about noise and
the clock battery.
Should I steer clear? I'm just looking for a good performer nothing
special, I normally use film.
