I just bought a brand new Nikon D40 DSLR. I’m new to slr photography and I’m just looking for an advanced photographers advice. I’m just wondering what kind of memory card I should get. I saw this one at WalMart, but not sure if it’s alright to buy? http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.d…
I think it’s a cheap version, but I’ve never used that kind so I’m not sure what it’s like.
What do you recommend? Thank you to all who will help me.

their practical applications and situations?
Info on what i will use the camera for;
I am studying photography (in order of importance)

(below in no significant order)

I am new to the photography field, just started school for it. I haven’t made my decision if I want to be a photographer for regular photography (wedding or such) or being a professional photographer to be a photojournalist or something of the sort.
My semester will start soon and I am looking for a DSLR camera that can do the job but also not to expensive since I am a starter. I have been suggested by my friends to get a Nikon D80 and I think I kinda like it, but is there any other cameras that can be compared to this one that might perhaps be even cheaper? I am planning to spend about $1000 altogether, the camera and the accessories, since I’m strapped for cash because of the economy. So, can any one kindly suggest me any DSLR that can be compared to Nikon D80?
Oh, and please don’t just say the product name, but tell me if you have any experience or not with the camera you are suggesting.
Thank you very much.
