I have the same camera, and I only use the laptop for storage. You'll probably end up doing the same in the end. It's easier plus you can set your exposure lengths and the amount of exposures you want to take from the canon utility, you cant do that from the camera it's self, you will need some kind of remote to do multiple exposures. I bought a remote from ebay for about $60 before I realized that the laptop software does it for you. Its still hand to have the remote though as you can do timelapse photography with and you dont need to lug a laptop around with you.
Check out the canan soft ware before you buy a card then decide what size you need.
