Do I need a class 10 sd card? Or will a class 6 do? Thanks!!

I had a Transcend 16 GB Class 10 Card in my T2i, and it would take photos, yet not record 1080 HD video, after a few short clips! Canon Tech Sprt told me, that although the card was rated at Class 10, it was dropping down below class 6 at certain times during its use! That the camera was only designed and tested and meant to be used with an ACTUAL CLASS 6 CARD! If you can believe that! I now have a 16 GB Class 10 Lexar Card in it, and it is working fine. (Class 6, is cited in the owners manual.)

I don't know...you could try a Class 6 but it might not end up being enough...I just decided to play it safe and get a Class 10. Canon said Class 6 "at least". With quite a bit of emphasis on the "at least"

I got mine T2i someplace else because Amazon was out, but they included a Transcend 8gb class 10 and I could only get 9 pictures on continuous before it slowed down. I ordered and received a Sandisk Extreme III class 10 4g from Amazon and now I can do over 40 continous(didn't bother to figure out if there is a number bigger). So if your using continuous and need get lots of frames go with the Sandisk Extreme III, for single frame anything will work.

Yeah, a Class 6 SHOULD do. I called Canon and they said 6 is the minimum. I went ahead and bought a 16gb. Class 10 Patriot on Amazon ($48).It has worked like a charm.

I bought the Patriot too. Patriot LX Series 16 GB Class 10 SDHC Flash Memory Card PSF16GSDHC10 (Black)

I tested the class 6 (Polaroid:Made in Japan) and the class 10 (Panasonic:Made in Japan). Class 6 worked fine. No lagging with HD videos. Fast enough with continuous shots.I could feel slight deference with class 10. Faster responses with continuous shots and HD videos.I agree with what Canon said: class 6 is minimum, and recommend to go for class 10 if you want better performance especaily if you shoot RAWs in a continuous mode.

Class 10 is a lot better if you have the means for one. My GoPro HERO 3 is worthless with out one

Ofcourse you can. I use microSDHC 16GB class 10 all the time. Works like a charm. So you should not need to worry. Go ahead and buy one. THen you enjoy your recorder to the fullest :)

Would say no if its a class 2, its a no . Would have to go to a class 10 Ultra or extreme pro .Newer SD memory is a class 4 ,Faster speeds are with the Class 10 SD memory

Ramon, Class 10 SD cards write faster than Class 6. With the HD setting, you are writing a lot of memory to the SD card to save a video and you should have the fastest card you can get which, in this case, is a Class 10.

Yes you will need a SD card. I bought a 16 gig SD card and am using it just fine.

What class memory card did you get? The owner's manual states you should use class 6 SDHC cards for HD video. You may be able to use class 4 cards, but there's very little price difference. So get a class 6 card and be done with it. The camera rocks, so take the card back, not the camera. Oh, and set video to AVCHD, not MPEG.

i don't understand the20 mb/sec. http://www.sdcard.org/developers/tech/sdhc says class 2, 4, 6 only do 2, 4, and 6 mb/sec. the link to the sandisk card shows class 6 but does say 20mb

I've been using SanDisk Class 10 cards at 16 and 32GB, and they both work fine. I recently filmed a 45 minute nonstop lecture with the 32GB in the A slot and it worked fine with lots of space to spare. Never had to rollover to the 16GB in the B slot. Hope that helps.

Honestly I don't know what it supports. I would assume for the best quality you would need to use a class 10 but as long as it is a memory card that fits in the slot I would assume it would work. I would email customer service or call them and ask which kind they support. I got my card from them and I noticed that their description doesn't say what kind of class memory card they use. Hope this helps :)

Did your class 6 hdsc card work? I need to purchase a card for my new Sanyo. Older card appears to work fine.

Yes, class 10 mainly used for dslr due to performance but it will work on any camera that requires sd card.

I tried two brand new 32Gb sandisk class 10 and received memory errors. I emailed Baiklov and they answered within 24 hours. They specifically told me to use a class 4 or 6. I bought a class 4 and it has been working great in the camera. They updated the product info today for this camera to state that they recommend class 4 or 6 cards. Very ....very......responsive company.

The maximum size SD card it can use is 32 gig. A class 10 card is recommended, I've used a class 4 before successfully, but if the scenery or action is changing quickly, like if you are shooting video while riding a bicycle, you may notice some "Pixelation" or "Artifacts" in the video and the audio could become unsynchronized from the video if you use anything but a class 10. A rarity, but why risk it? Class 10 32 Gig cards are rather inexpensive these days.

Yes, Class 10 is better than class 6 memory cards for full HD video (1080p)
1095523
yeah it does. a class 10 is supposedly the best and higher quality sd card. But i dont use a class ten. i just have a generic one. And others cant tell the difference between them, either.

Gregory, you need at least a Class4 card but but the write times are slow. Best to use a Class10 like the Sony 32GB SDHC Class 10 UHS-1 R40 Memory Card from Amazon.
