I would buy the 64GB version. The customer reviews says this is a "Class 4" card, which is VERY slow. Is that true? If not, what class card is it?

It IS Class 4. Slow, cheap, and reliable. I use it for computer back-up, not for photography or video .... where I want a high speed card.

I like Sandisk as well, however I bought a Sandisk 32 GB class-10 card for this camera and it errors all the time so I don't use it. The 16 GB card (unknown class) that comes with the camera works well and I don't plan to buy another one unless this one dies.

I have not tried a 64GB card, sorry. I do know I like it though and it works great!!

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.

8 gb cards are avaialble. Google it. I have a 4 gb in mine and it works fine.

From what I could find out, the higher the class the faster it can down load a picture to the card. Class 4 is 4 Mbps. Class 6 is 6 Mbps, and Class 10 is 10 Mbps

The "Brand " of the card makes no difference at all. It is the speed of access to the cards data that is important. A class 10 card is what you are looking for. I am sure that the cards "Brand" varies as to best price. If you are having issues with the brand named in your question please see this link.http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=91&t;=83220&p;=588601#p588601

Not really. Any 32 gig will pretty much do. The class 4 is a couple of bucks cheaper. Literally, 2 or 3 bucks... Lol

What I received was a 8GB Class 4 card. So, the capacity I received was proper, but the speed is not...which to be honest I did not check until right now and could definitely lead to the performance differences I am seeing between this Raspberry Pi and the others that I have.

It came with a 64GB card. When I get home from work I will check the speed rating of the card. I bought a 32GB card as a backup incase I needed more memory and I did not need it as the 64GB card did not fill up at 1400 images taken with the camera in RAW+ JPEGL format which is a real memory hog at ~40MB per image.

I use it with Class 10 and personally I use 32GB. But that depends on how wure you want to be about it playing smoothly your videos (class 10 would be a better bet), and how big and number of videos you want to store in the memory (in my case I do not want to run any risk of getting a full memory signal, so 32GB was my safe bet).

I just tried several shots with a 32 GB class 10 card and it seemed to clock in at about half the time you are experiencing at most.***Update*** I just purchased a SanDisk 64GB Extreme Pro class 10 and it says it is rated at 95 MB/s. The 32GB ws an Amazon Basics class 10 card. With the new card, there is no appreciable delay.I hope this helps.Don

Can't really answer that since I download and reformat the card after a trip or round of use. However, I can say it's got to be in the hundreds. Also, you can get a class 10 4 gig card for $5 to $10 and not have any concerns.

thanks. i download pretty frequently so 2GB is probably fine. i'm a bit of a novice, what is the fastest card? or how do i determine a "fast card"?

Thanks,I was planning on buying a 2gb card. You just "saved" my life, Did you try the 1gb card yet?

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).

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.
