In your case I would go for a 4GB card - At Jessops a Sandisk 4GB Extreme IV Compactflash Memory Card is £33.20 This will give you about 400 shots in largest JPEG, over 1000 in smallest JPEG and about 150 in RAW. Please do buy from a reputable dealer. You can get them cheaper on ebay but there are numerous stories of fake cards that are not worth the money you think you save. By the way the speed of you card would only effect wildlife if you were in burst mode trying to track a cheetah :)
