Does it matter what kind of sd card is used for a digital camera?

I have an hp photosmart 6 mp digital camera, and I was wondering if it mattered as to what brand of SD card is used to have better pictures. There are many brands like polaroid, sandisk, and others. Which one is best if any?

Yes it does matter IMO. Speed and Reliability. I have only used and will only use Sandisk for my memory cards. Because there is that small chance the memory card can corrupt data if you get some offbrand (not confirmed) . In your case being that you have a point and shoot, you should just get a cheap san disk card. probably 1 or 2 gigs is plenty. I purchased my 2 gig Extreme III Sandisk card for 30 dollars.... thats a very fast and reliable card for my nikon dslr.
Reply:The brand doesn't matter, the speed does (although I wouldn't get just any card off eBay).


Generally, the faster the card, the better. However, with compact cameras you won't notice much difference, so I would say to go with the cheapest card you can find.
Reply:Brand of SD card doesn't matter so much. What matters is the speed of the SD card. The speed with which you can push the shutter button is dictated by how fast your camera can write the last picture to the memory card. The faster the memory card is, the better.
