Olympus does not state that a high speed card is required or helpful.
In most non DSLR (digital single lens reflex) cameras, high speed cards provide no improvement in performance.
Save a lot of dollars and get the standard SanDisk card.

Can someone recommend a good Compact Flash memory card for the Olympus 7070? Sandisk sells Regular, Ultra II and Extreme III. WHich if these would work best for this camera? I figured I would buy a 512 MB or 1GB, but does it really matter whether it is regular or ultra II? Thanks.
