Two points. One, the speed of saving in cheaper cameras is usually
limited by the camera not the card. Second, all cards are the same
(not brands, but versions) and later versions may be quite a bit
faster and more expensive. 128MB SD cards are not very expensive and
some are practically free after rebate. 128 MB may be all you need
with a 3.1MP camera but most people want at least 512 MB cards.
Not me. 3.1MP is plenty enough for me. I used a 2.1mp camera for
years. The public tells people they need stuff that they do not. Most
people do not need a 7.2 or 10MP camera, yet most people are told by
the public that they do.
I am smarter than the average sheep, and will not buy a product I do
not need nor will I follow the public's consumeristic cravings.

Have no idea what you are talking about. So I reread my statement and
found an error. Suppose to say "All cards are Not the same............"
I didn't say anything about the need for a higher definition camera,
just that many people preferred a higher capacity card. My 4MP camera
will take 256 pictures at max resolution on a 512 MB card and I need
that much when traveling because I have no other storage. Not sure how
many shots you would get on a 128MB card with a 3.1MP camera but it sure
wouldn't be enough for me or many other people before they get back to
their computer.
As for your comments on 3.1MP cameras, buy what you want.
I have a 4mp camera, and get 300 pictures on a 256Meg card. I have
considered buying a 1GB card ($20 at Fry's), but can't imagine why I
would even need a card this large, given that a 7 day cruise to Alaska
only generated 470 pictures. I suppose if I regularly made trips longer
than 1 week, to scenic places, a larger card would make some sense, but
given that I have 3 128 meg cards, and one 256 meg card, and that totals
to about 800 shots, and my laptop travels with me.... What's the use?
