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, but i cant be sure that is exactly the same one (other than it physically looks the same)

I use 16Gb Transcend SDHC Class 6 in my 1DII and 1DsII

I'm very pleased with this card for the money £6.79 delvered.

I use 16Gb Transcend SDHC Class 6 in my 1DII and 1DsII

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.

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.
