I purchsed my first digital camera, a 2M Canon a60 and would like to purchase
a larger card. What's a good brand people have had good luck with or are they
all the same?

They're pretty much all the same. But Lexar, Sandisk, Kingston, are all
good brands.

I only buy Lexar, but I imagine any digicam you buy will come with a card,
so maybe you're best to stick to the brand name the cam manufacturer bundles
with the cam.

Like someone else said, Lexar, Sandisk, Kingston...all good.

I'll say this on behalf of Sandisk...I had one of their cards go bad for me
and they stood behind it, no hassle, and exchanged it for a new one.

Ditto, I had 5 160Mb tye 2 CF cards I bought for a song but they had reduced
capacity due to heavy use, Sandisk replaced them with one 128Mb and one
512Mb (both type 1) to equal the lost capacity.

My hat's off to them for standing by their product.

Are the x40 or x60 cards, the faster input cards, only needed for larger
Megapixel cameras?

thanks to all.

Yes, the cards are faster... but whether or not you get the faster speeds
depends on which camera you buy.

Not necessarily. The faster the input, the faster you can get to your next
photo.
