Class 4 vs Class 10 SD cards...what's the difference? I'm a techno-idiot who only understands that 16 GB is bigger than 8 GB, but what on earth does "Class 4" and "Class 10" mean??

The class 10 allows the card to transfer information quicker and is especially important for video processing.

the "Class" represents the minimum transfer rate you should see with these cards.Class 4 = 4MB/sClass 6 = 6MB/sClass 10 = 10MB/sThere is an informative page on the kingston site at the following link:http://www.kingston.com/flash/sdhc.asp

I've been using a 16 GB class 6 with no problems since I got mine a few years back - I often download the videos and pics through my laptop's SD card slot and it has no trouble with a full memory.

It does depend on your need, but not for the reasons referenced in other answers. A) are you going to shoot video or continuous (sports)? If so you want a faster card Class 6 minimum but probably class 10. Also if you shoot Raw or video you want at least 8gb but probably 16gb in size. Another question is; if you buy one big card 32 or 64 and lose the card or it becomes corrupted you lose all your photos. All professionals recommend multiple smaller size cards for this reason instead of 1 big card. I use a 16gb Sandisk pro Class 10 high speed card, which covers everything and has a free data recovery feature if needed. If this helps please hit the "yes" button! Thanks.

Ths is the speed class of the card. The speed class designates minimum writing performance to record video. Yes, 10 is better but it depends what you are using the card for and in what piece of equipment. I would just google class number and it will tell you the differences in the classes.

I wouldn't recommend using a micro SD for your camera. You're better off buying a regular SD card with 32 to 64 GB. Class 10 basically means when you are taking burst shots or shooting HD video you won't get any lag.

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.

What I know is that it is really a SanDisk 16GB SD card - it works great. SanDisk are the best SD's I have found and I have tried others. As far as the class 2 sdhc, it really was not a consideration of mine when I purchased it.

Class 4 is good enough. I use a class 4, 8G sandisk SD. The result is very satisfied.

YES is does. (Micro SD cards) The manual however does not specify what size or type (class). I believe it is limited to 16GB and pretty much any class. I wouldn't waste money on expensive class 10 Micro SD cards. Class 4 will work just fine.

It seems so unintuitive that a *faster* speed class rating would be worse for this product. Can someone explain why a class 4 or 6 would be better than a 10 (which is the most optimal card for video recording).

oops. I also wnat to get another card for my camera someone suggested a 10 class with at leas 8 gig?not sure what the classes mean?

1) I'm using 16 gb class 10 I bought the card before I read the manual so I decided to use it anyway even after I saw they claim that class 10 is too fast for this cam . 2)my card doesn't interfere with the built in memory it's a setting you could set which memory you wanna use card or built in . 3)the sticker comes in black but I wanted to be able to remove it so I cut out a small piece of Velcro and used that instead

It should be MICRO SD card. 32 gb is still the size of choice. Get a CLASS 10! They are better quality and faster than the usual class 2 or 4. Somebody said mini. It is the micro.

If I understood the description when I read about the comparison at the time I made my purchase, the Ultra disk downloads and records video faster than the 32gb. The Ultra is a class 10 which is a speed measurement and the regular 32gb is a class 4. How much difference is the actual speed I have no idea. This is the extent of my knowledge.

Also one other thing they say 30mb/s but further testing showing it was running as fast as 50mb/s great card I've had it quite awhile I'd say almost two years. Example would be your downloading on ttorrent then you play a video at the same time then transfer music from one folder to another yes you can do this on this card. No other sdcard below class 10 would let me do that. After burning up about 5, 2gb sdcards at class 6 class 10 is standard now and I think they got them higher than that now I'm not sure though hope I helped you out sir. I have the 64gb sdxc on my s4. You'll burn up your sdcards lower than that in a Galaxy 4 keep that in mind.

class refers to the minimum transfer speed, and as far as i could tell from the sandisk web site, their 32gb microsd cards are class 2, regardless of what the picture looks like on amazon. in theory, when transferring data it might take twice as long as a class 4, thrice as long as a class 6, etc., which might matter if you're impatient and moving gigabytes of data. it should be more than fast enough for just listening to music. in my experience, i get higher than the minimum, and class 2 has been good enough for my dslr and recording 640x480 video on my compact camera.

I haven't possessed the camera in question, but keep in mind that the 16gb SanDisk microSDHC comes in class 4, 6, and 10. The higher the number, the faster the data can be read or transferred. I can't say if this could be why one 16gb card can be read while the other can't.
