I wasn't too sure where to ask this:

I'm looking to buy my first dSLR and want to find a store that carries lots of dSLRs and actually has functioning demo units. I'm in Chicago, and the local Best Buys have only a few SLRs out and like one turns on and actually works.

I really would like to side by side compare Nikons Canons and Olympus (I'm looking specifically for the 410, which the Olympus site told me that only two stores in the area carry it, so I have to head over to there to try it)

Is it worth it to purchase a gray card for white balancing? Will it give me a significant improvement over the AWB (If it matters, I'm using a Canon XS)


Also, I see

quote:

It can shoot up to 3.0 fps (frames per second), in bursts of up to 514 JPEGs or 5 RAW files, so you'll never, ever miss a shot.
What write speed am I looking for on a card to allow non-stop JPEG shooting? Currently, after 8 the pictures start shooting slower, and at 11 I can't take any more until the buffer is clear. I'm looking at making a few GIFs of things, so it would be nice to be able to take unlimited shots. My current card is a Class 6, but it's a generic one and doesn't say the actual write speed.

Would an Ultra II be able to, or am I looking at an Extreme III in order to shoot non-stop.
e: If so, which one do people most recommend.
