What's the crack with these then, anyone know?

How much faster do they read/write than the good, over performing Sandisk class 2 cards?

Are they worth the extra 30 quid or so for when 720p recording is common?

And what about Transcend one's, are they a decent make or should i stick to Sandisk?

Thanks for any help or advice you may have! ;) :) :cool:
 
Basically micro sd cards come in different classes,2,4,6 or 10 i believe and all that means is that they read/write data at different speeds,the higher the class the faster they are.


  • Class 2: 16 Mbit/s (2 MB/s)
  • Class 4: 32 Mbit/s (4 MB/s)
  • Class 6: 48 Mbit/s (6 MB/s)
  • Class 10: 80 Mbit/s (10 MB/s)

So if you are playing/recording in HD it may pay to get a higher class sd card.
