Recommended speed/brand for SD cards?

[Satyrist]

Taking a look at Newegg, I wasn't sure about whether it would be better to get the more expensive SD offerings, or a couple of cheaper alternatives..It'll be going into a Coolpix 5200, I wasn't sure if speed made a difference or not for a camera of this sort.

Thanks

get whatever's cheapest, unless you plan on one day going to a DSLR that takes SD. the buffer on the 5200 is big enough for the kind of shooting you're going to be doing, and the camera really doesn't shoot fast enough to take full advantage of the fast transfer speeds.
