Bought Panasonic TZ5 which memory do i get?

Thanks to this forum and you guys, i've just bought the tz5 for £195.99 including p+p from Dixons using pricematch from egears.co.uk.
My question is i'm after a 8gb or 16gb card but due to ignorance not sure which card to get.Have narrowed it down to Sandisk think i need an SD card? also i have seen Sandisk Extreme III or Ultra II cards whats the difference and which one do i get that will work with the TZ5.Also where's the cheapest place to get them from, i am probably hoping to get the 16gb card, but to frightened to make purchase just incase i get it wrong. Best i wait till i get advice from yourselves.Thanks

Yeap, SD.

They have varying write speeds, although this won't make a massive different to you. Mainly with the big SLR's which shoot in RAW. I recommend sticking to play rebranded Samsung's (i think) i bought 4GB's for £8 inc delivery.

have a look at 7dayshop.com or play.com. Also peek a look at camerapricebuster.com, a wonderful site.
