Hi All,

Im getting my 600d in 2 days time and have yet to stock up on memory cards, iv searched on amazon which seems to be the cheapest, im mainly going to be using video, i need a memory card for preferably under £20, i dont want buffering on my memory card when recording, i will be recording at full HD, this is the current bundle i was thinking of getting, http://www.jessops.com/online.store...ml?skuOfferingId=80182&orderGroupName=80182-1

i know il miss out on the tri-pod not too bothered as i got one already, or theres this memory card from amazon,

http://www.amazon.co.uk/SanDisk-Ext...U6I4/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1330344794&sr=8-7

i have a mbp 2011 13" early, i read one comment that the memory card is not compatible with the laptop but im dubious..

any better ideas ?

Thanks

A 2011 MBP can accept SHDC cards: About the SD and SDXC card slot, if not, there is always the option to connect the camera via US cable or use an SD card reader via USB.

As the Canon EOS 600D records video, when using maximum quality (1080p, 30fps), with a bit rate of 45 to 48 Mb/s, the card is more than capable of recording that, as it has a data rate of 45 MB/s, though the Amazon article title says "45Mbps", which "Megabit per second".

Anyway, that card will be fine for your purposes.
