Compact Flash size

Hello everyone,

I recently bought a Canon A70 and was very satisfied with it. After taking
it for trips, I realized that I need extra memory (I currently have a 128 MB
Compact Flash). My question is:
1. If I would like to get a larger memory. However, I heard that as memory
card is getting larger, the time for saving/downloading would become longer
so there is an 'optimum' trade off between size and download/saving time for
each type of memory card. For example, for a SD-memory, the optimum size
would be 256 MB. Anyone knows the corresponding size for a Compact Flash, if
any?
2. Also currently I have a SHG type (supposedly super high speed for
saving/downloading) type of Compact Flash as touted by the vendor. However,
is there really a noticeable diference between a Standard type, HG (high
speed), and SHG (super high speed) ones?

Thanks in advance.

Casper

A70
