I have used many brands up to 4gbs and all seem to work well.
The camera has limited write speeds so paying a premium for ultra fast cards
does not pay off for even burst shooting.
Faster cards can download through a separate card reader faster, if that is
somehow an issue.
However older card readers may not be able to read SD cards larger than 2
gbs.

I mostly use Kingstons because they're reliable, they're cheap and they
often offer very nice rebates. (Check Buy.com or other online sellers.) I
also use Lexar, SanDisk and Dane, and frankly they all seem to work equally
well for me. I think 1GB or 2GB should be plenty to start off with. By the
time you feel you need something larger, they'll be even cheaper than they
are now. And you'll almost certainly be buying more cards sooner or later
anyway.

Good question. There doesn't seem to be, but it would be great if someone
started one.

I have had good luck with Sandisk Ultra in my D80. Higher speed cards
may off laod faster into your computer but don't seem to increase fps.

Make sure it can sustain write speeds of more than 9.5 MB/sec, otherwise you
cripple this particular camera.

Never had any problems with any Sandisk cards. Use them in Cameras,
Smarphones.

I would go for a fast one for camera use - extreme III

Henry: If you get 4GB cards, all the images can be copied to a single DVD.
It makes for easy workflow and archival. HTH.
