I just bought this and I'm almost positive that many of the reviews said to use a class 10 but now I'm reading otherwise (class 6). What's correct?

Class 6 is supposed to be more stable but my class 10 32gb Samsung card works great! Check out the "dashcamtalk" forum for more info.

Elizabeth, I "think" I got a class 10. It has been awhile. But which ever one I purchased, It works great. I hope you enjoy this unit. Have a great day.

For me the camera had some issues with a class 8 SD card so I got the 32GB class 10 card and haven't had any problems since. They aren't too bad price wise now so its a good investment.

Yes, it will work with a class 10 memory card. My unit uses one. FYI, the higher the class, the faster the card is, and you can always use a faster card in place of a slower one.

confusion around this is due to the fact that early versions of the camera had problems with some Sandisk class 10 cards, and the Mobius manual says class 4 is all you need, along with a warning about using a class 10 with early firmware versions. But that was with firmware versions in the low 1.x. They're at 2.37 as of this writing, and i have 2 cameras that use class 10 cards (1 a sony, 1 a sandisk) with no issues.

yes, i read too that its best to root with a class 6 or higher and this one looks like its a class 4?

Yes, Class 10 is better than class 6 memory cards for full HD video (1080p)

From what I understand, the class 4 has double the data transfer rate of the class 2. It should fit and work better.

Bethany: As far as I know, your Samsung camera should accept any micro sd card. The only problem is if the memory (sd card,etc) is proprietary such as a Sony memory stick(for some Sony cameras). Please remember the "class" is important. Class 10 is much faster at saving and reading than a class 2. There will not be as much delay between each picture you take on your camera with a higher class (10). Anything beyond a class 10 for cameras is pretty much wasted. Besides, Amazon will be wonderful about returns is you are not satisfied. Regards, Jim Bethany: As far as I know, your Samsung camera should accept any micro sd card.

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?

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.

Class 10. Size is obviously up to you and your need. Stick to good, reputable brands. I've had good luck with SanDisk Ultra and Trasncend. I can't comment on speed to performance as all my cards are class 10.

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.

the book says use a 10 or 4 class card for hd video recording so guess use that for all photos

the higher the class the better, but from sd specs alone, technically a class 4 at 4 megs/second should be sufficient since it can write atleast 3.6 gigs in 15 minutes, when you only need 1 gig per 15 minutes for this camera. I would suggest getting atleast a class 4 just to be on the safe side. (although a class 2 will be 1.8 gigs per 15 minutes), so you need a card that can write at fast speeds.

FYI class 10 means 10Mb per second, that's megabytes per second not to be confused with Mbps or megabits. 10Mb per second = 12.5Mbps. On a D5100 the max bitrate is 18mbps, or 2.25Mb well under the 10Mb/s

No probkem. I'm glad I could help. I even contacted the seller, and the had amended the description to include only class 4. That is gone again.

E. Thomas - Where in the manual does it say you need class 6 memory for video ? I noticed the Panasonic web site lists class 4 memory cards as an accessory for this camera.
