Which card is best for a camcorder/digital camera?

We are getting a new digital camera that has video and will be buying a camcorder as a gift. What kind of card do we need? I read that some are faster than others. Is there a certain size that would be a minimum to consider to have enough room for video and what size speed? I see some say SDHC and some say Ultra. What is the difference? Out of all the black friday sales which is the best?

"Ultra" SDHC is just a marketing thing. Don't worry about "Ultra". If you are putting video on a card as well... I'd go with something that is AT LEAST a 4 GB. Even better would be a 16 GB SDHC card. I haven't looked at all the ads yet.. so I'm not entirely sure as to which is best. Just ask around and check online for the reviews.

Every camcorder will take it's own memory card type. FOr instance, my son wants a sony handycam which takes a memory stick. They are expensive, about 50.00 so I considered upgrading to the 60 gig hard drive model for 50.00 instead. The samsung which is at walmart takes an sd card and one other I can't remember. THey are cheaper I believe, on black friday you can get one for about 10.00.
