SanDisk 16gb Extreme 30MB/s Edition SDHC High Performance Card

Don't buy a faster memory card than you really need for your camcorder. This is one case where faster is not better.... it's just faster. Most HD camcorders are designed to work with Class 4 SDHC cards at the camcorders best recording quality.

Installing a faster memory card than your camcorder needs, is not going to make the video quality better, or make the camcorder work better. In fact, installing a faster memory card than the camcorder was designed to work with, may create problems. There are some valid technical reasons for this. As the speed of memory cards goes up, so does the power consumption of the memory card. The increase in power consumption from a Class 4 card to a Class 10 card, can be dramatic. If the camcorder was designed to use Class 4 cards, the added power consumption of a class 10 card, may degrade overall performance. Another concern is that, as speed goes up, so do the levels of electronic noise, and that can be detrimental to overall operation. Faster memory, requires faster clock speeds, and if the memory's supporting electronic circuitry was not designed to work with these faster clocking speeds, that circuitry may not operate as predictably as it does with slower memory. In summary, there are a few really good technical reasons why a faster memory card will perform poorly when it is installed in a camcorder designed to work with much slower memory. Don't do it. The really fast SDHC cards are intended for high megapixel cameras with fast sequential shooting capabilities. The electronics for those types of cameras, have been designed to work with the faster cards.

Lastly, installing faster memory than your camcorder needs, is a waste of money. For Camcorders, you can't go wrong with a SanDisk SDSDHV-016G-A15 16GB Video HD SDHC Card. It is designed to work well with HD camcorders, and it is very reasonably priced.

Incredible speed! Incredible performance, incredible capacity. I ordered this product because I sometimes go out hiking and don't have a chance to download all my pictures into a PC and like to take pictures of nature, which sometimes I'd prefer to do in burst mode. I have 4 4g class 6 memory cards, which only took 2 pictures, then started to take one picture every 10 or 15 seconds, and guess what? Most of the times I would loose that great shot because of the lag. I feel confident this card is the solution, I tried it as soon as I got it, It was shooting the full 4 shots per second for about 8 seconds, then takes about 2 every second for about another 20 - 24 seconds. Amazing!!!

I have a Nikon D90 and shoot 90% of the time in RAW. When I inserted the card into my camera, I saw I had 1.0K of picture capacity, I double checked it was in RAW!!! If you have the cash to buy this, go for it, you can't go wrong.

I purchased this card to replace my 2GB SD card. I set my 15.1 Megapixel camera to create two images per picture (1 14bit RAW and 1 large high-quality jpeg). This card allows me to take 486 pictures without having to switch cards or delete images. I have owned this card for two months now and it has been working great. I haven't had a single problem with it.

I had an 8gig card, bought this 16gig for a wedding I was shooting. I'm using a Nikon D90 I shot over 1000 photo's and the card could hold up to 2400. Excellant fast card.

I've been using two of these cards for several months now, and have had great results with my Nikon D90. Excellent speed, both in the camera and when transferring to my PC via SanDisk's high-speed USB reader.
