Hello:
I am brand new here and just purchased a D90. I now need some SD cards. I will mostly use the photography aspect of the D90 but will be doing some short movies. How much space should I expect 20 minutes (for example) to take up in HD and non HD format? Any recommendations on cards are much appreciated also. I have on order a Sandisk 4GB Extreme III 30 mb/s card. Should I use a different card for video recording or the same one for still photos and videos? Also, do I need as fast as a card as the one mentioned above for video on the D90? Thanks for any help!!!
 
The Sandisk 4GB Extreme III are good cards to start with and will do both video & pictures. Have fun.
 
get the cheapest one. there's no real difference between them, except for speed which you don't need. i use sandisk 8gb cards that i got for like $10 each and i've shot many hours without any problems.

It's fine if you use the same card for both video and photography, although I always recommend people get two cards simply so you have a backup in case one fails. Like Matt said, I haven't found speed to be an issue, so just get the cheapest one. Unless you're doing mission critical sports photography or something, the speed increase is negligible.
