if you are looking for a good SD card deal, here are a few choices
2 gig SDregular $12.95 or $2.95 after google checkout if you wish/dare (free shipping) link
My buddy has one of these, and it's definitely fast enough for the sd870IS (and SD800) camera(s)
4 gig SDHC Class 6 $11.95 link
This is a great one from adoramaa. In fact i just got this one and it works great in my canon SD800IS. (and this one is on the way(class4), but sorry they are OOS).
8 gig SDHC class 6 or faster $30 link
from super media store . com and NO rebate **credit to ONSALENOW in this thread for this particular card/deal
website claims speeds even faster than class 6 (up to 22.5MB/s)
In general, when shopping for an SD card for this camera keep in mind that 1 picture is about 3MB (sometime bigger) so if you are trying to do a continuous shooting (click-click-click-click) at the max capability of this camera which is about 2-3 shots/sec, then you are going to need at least a class 6 (which means at least 6MB/s read-write sustained)
