SDHC cards

[El Capitano]

Evening folks,

Just been getting myself a shiny new 450d, and need a bigger capacity memory card.... was just wondering if people can reccomend a good quality, reasonably priced card.

Many thanks oh wise TP.

The Sandisk ultra or extremes are popular but i've got two reasonably cheap transcend class 6 cards which are at least as fast as an ultra if not faster.

They look just like THIS (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Transcend-8GB-SDHC-Class-6/dp/B000Y7DZY2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1247001612&sr=8-1), but i cant be sure that is exactly the same one (other than it physically looks the same)

i agree, transcend have been good for me and prices are usually competitive.

I am a newbie, so bear with me....... but what do the differant class's mean???

Is it something to do with the speed of the cards?

I used a sandisk extreme 3 4gb card with my 450d and loved it.

classes refer the the transfer speed (read and write). the transcend are class 6 (mostly) and they suit me fine.

Yes.

Class 2 are slower and Class 6 is current fastest rating.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital_card

Yep mine does too, and seems quicker than my other kingston class 6 card.

I use Lexar and Sandisk - but before you buy an all singing all dancing card make sure your body can use all the speed features.
