What are the speed ratings on the two cards... this can be significant with large photos.
I use the high speed (Ultra II) San-Disk card, and am very happy with it.

Get the 1GB. Much cheaper. My digital camera on the 1024x768 resolution setting, with a 16MB card, can hold 78 pics. More than enough for me, and I'm sure 1GB is more than enough for you.

I agree with what James said about speeds. When I had to use my "regular" Sandisk in my Rebel XT it was MUCH slower than the 80x Lexar I bought.
1GB should be more than enough, unless you plan on being away from a computer for a long time (like a few weeks backpacking or something like that) even then I would just get 2x1GB cards. I have an 8MP DSLR and even on the highest JPEG setting I have about 255 shots on a blank card.
That kingston card you are looking at isn't bad, but I would look for something faster like the Sandisk ultraII there for 80 something.
