Thanks for the info. Ended up ordering an Ultra 4GB 150X SDHC card at eCost.com for $50. after $30. manufacturer rebate and $10. Google checkout rebate.

Getting just over one hour of recording with the 4GB SD card.

Transfer rate from camera to computer hard disk is about 5MB/sec. Somewhat slower than I expected with a 150X card.

I have an internal reader and it maxes out at about 5MB/s as well. An external USB reader was shockingly fast in comparison. I don't think your 150X card is the bottleneck.

I have the HD1a and using A-Data 8gig SDHC from NewEgg. I got it for $69 and now it's $59. Working very well for me although it's my first SD type card so I can't compare it to anything. I been filming < 10min at a time and then syncing so I'm not sure how it'll do later with longer running times.
