Actually Class 6 has faster access times, reads and writes. Just look at the specs between each class.
Class 6 is the only way to go.
So much misinformation in this thread.
Read speeds of MicroSDs are limited by the reading hardware. There is no difference between reading Class 2 and Class 6 in standard use (USB, smartphone, camera).
My class 2 16GB card reads at 18MB/s in my USB 2.0 card reader.
My class 6 8GB card reads at 18MB/s in the same reader.
Write speeds are where the disparity shows, but we have on-board memory for intensive operations like photo and video recording. And my Class 2 was $30, not "just a few bucks" less than $60 for a Class 6. Save your money, buy Class 2.
Edit: Access times are about 1ms for all SDHCs. No discernable difference.
