Yeah this one, or a lexar class 10 if you want high transfer speeds with your pc.
Or a sandisk class 2 if you dont care about recording movies to your micro sd card.
the sandisk 32gb class 4 will work good with 1080p recording ?
and where i can buy it ?
because on amazon.com i can't find the class....
thanks
When I bought the Samsung WB2000 / TL350 compact camera which recorded 1080p @30fps it required a "Sandisk Extreme"... It apparently has a 20MB/s write speed. No class written on the card though...I think it's class 6 as class 10 is 30MB/s.
I would have thought you'd need a higher class to write HD video...
Note: "Sandisk Extreme" is a SD card not a Micro-sd

There is no class certified for 20MBps or 30MBps.
Class 10 = 10 MBps, thats why is 10.
So class 6 = 6MBps, class 4 = 4MBps, class 2 = 2MBps.
Class is equal to the minimum write speed in random spaces.

No, Class is the minimum write/read speed in sequential. The Lexar Class 10 32GB only does 0.018 MB/s in random write!
any more answer that might help me choose a good card ?
thanks
You need to figure out what you need in terms of speed and size, then how much money you want to spend. A 32GB class 10 card is extremely expensive, where a 16GB class 6 is around a third of that. I plan on using my Galaxy S II for holding all my music and some movies so I ordered this yesterday: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208573. Not too expensive and fast enough for most things.

as i said
i want 16gb but don't know which class and brand to take...
my main concern is recording video in 1080p
I have a class 10 Lexar 32GB Card.
You should buy a brand name card (Sandisk, Lexar, Kingston). I say that because there are IN GENERAL more reliable. There will be cards that are made by lesser known brands like Patriot and A-Ram but that does not mean they are any less reliable but more faults are reported for them than with Sandisk, Kingston or Lexar.
Having said that, my previous card was a 16GB Class 6 Patriot card. Worked awesome for a whole year and is still working in my friend's Desire (gave it to him and got the Lexar card for more space). In conclusion, don't buy eBay cards is what I'm trying to say.
Class? That's been debated A LOT. I got a class 10 and I can clearly see the benefit. Media Scanning is less than 10 seconds (mind you, I've got close to 38gb full in both internal and external cards), file copying is very quick and gallery files show up quicker, when I seek in a video file, it moves instantly (even with a 1080p movie).
It just depends on what you require. If you're slightly more patient, you can save 30-40 bucks by getting a 32gb class 2 card instead of a 32gb class 10 card.
Hope that helps. I recommend both Lexar and Patriot. Go for class 6 at least if price is not an issue.

sandisk class 4 I have does this just fine. Paid 45 euro for a 32gb card. Higher speeds are only needed for hight transfer speeds.

from what i know higher class needed for recording full hd videos
because of the transfer speed
and again 32 is too expensive for me 16 will be good
but if 4 class of sandisk will do the job ? or i need to search class 6 on another brand ?

me too though i am using sandisk brand. its good.
Patriot Class 10 cards gave me problems on my Nexus One, and reportedly had a spectacular fail rate on Android and WP7 phones.. does that still apply?
Why is the kingston like half the price of the sandisk aren't they both top brands? Also will class 4 be able to function properly?
Guess i'll remove the links caues of the rules but at amazon the sandisk 32gb class 4 is List Price CDN$ 131.76 and at other various sites the kingston 32gb class 4 is around $55-70.
I am currently using verified-genuine 32gb Kingston class 4. No problem so far. Transfer rate about 5.6 to 6.1 mb/s. Taken Full Hd video. No jerk or whatsoever.
But be careful of fake Kingston. Best thing to do is before you buy, verify the card serial no at Kingston website in front of the vendor.
Just my 2 cents

Hmmm I doub`t I can do that considering i am ordering online but i ordered all my computer parts from ncix and had no issues I highly doubt they sell fake cards they are like newegg.com but for canada. Still not sure if I should go for the sandisk over the kingston
If they are that reliable, then u should go ahead and order. A class 4 will always be a class 4, no more or less in performance, if it's genuine.
If u want to get a sandisk class 4, u can actually top up a little bit and go for a class 10

Thanks for the reply what did you mean by I can top up a little bit?
Because that Sandisk Class 4 is overpriced.
For an equivalent of CDN$100, I can get a Lexar Class 10 32GB MicroSD. Great in sequential speeds but **** in random writes. Still, it is just to prove a point that the Sandisk that you are looking at is overpriced. Over here, the Sandisk Class 4 sells for 30-40% cheaper than the Lexar Class 10!

makes sense guess i'll go with the kingston then
If the Kingston Class 4 transfer speeds are what the user above was reporting then think about getting a Class 2 Sandisk one (if its cheaper). My Class 2 Sandisk reads/writes at 5.5mb/s.
My sd card is failing and I was looking for a replacement when I came across this one at Amazon. I wanted a 32GB, but the price on this thing was ridiculous.
Price: $8.22
Shipping: $5.95

I have the same card. It's great, can't really beat SanDisk when it comes to quality

Decent price, but a class 4 ehhhhhh. You should probably spend a few dollars more and go for the 10.
same card i have as well... had it for like 2 years now when i had my blackberry.. havent had issues with it.. but im thinking about looking into a 32gb class 10 card. class 4 seems to be outdated now

A SanDisk class 4 is equivalent to most brands' class 6. They tend to underrate their cards when it comes to speed.

Exactly.
I have a class 10 Patriot and it kinda sucks!
SanDisk micro sd have good reliability but their cards are pretty slow. My 32GB and 8GB class 4 SanDisk both maxes out around 4.3 MBs. In comparison my
AData 8GB class 4 averages 8MBs.
AData 8GB class 6 averages 11MBs
Toshiba 8GB class 4 averages 7MBs
Toshiba 16GB class 4 averages 7MBs
Just picked up a class 10 32 gb card at frys electronics for 35 bucks if you have one in your area its a great deal but beware of knock of names claiming to have class 10 speed and they transfer at 3 mbps

You can get a Samsung class 10 32GB micro sd at fry's right now for 35$, fyi.
Patriot is not a very good brand when it comes to sd cards..

I have had a 16gb class 4 Patriot microSD card for almost 2 years...still going...now on my psp...had it for my Evo and Thunderbolt until I bought a Sandisk 32gb. I think Patriot is a good reliable card.
Best SD card recommended for SGS III

Good stuff! A phone like the S3 commands such a card too
I would add the One X too but....well LMAO!
My Class 2 8GB card from my HTC Touch HD will suffice!

Erm Sandisk's Mobile Ultra UHS SDXC cards are temperature proof, waterproof, shock proof, xray proof etc as well and still just as fast and not limited to 32GB max like Samsung's current cards.

I just looked into them - but they are class 6's right?
I don't really need all that protection - it stays in my phone and is a happy bunny in there, if it gets water on it, then my £500 phone goes with it.
I' more interested in speeds - and I need nothing more than 16GB.
Have enough space with 8GB INT + 16GB EXT on my S1 - I;ll have an additional free 8GB with the S3. I don't see me filling it up any time soon.
Could you please tell me, speed only wise, the difference between the SDXC's and the SDHC's?
Considering I don't need to spend £45 on an microSD card - I'de be looking at the 16GB variants which in sandisk's case are SDHC's , equally on par with the Samsung cards.
Only difference is, the samsung ones are class 10 and the sandisk ones are class 6.
Am I wrong?
The class system is the mimimum speed at which they operate are expected to. The Sandisk one is class 10 and you will find Sandisk cards outperform their class specification almost all the time anyway.

No it isn't.
Only the 64GB model, the SDXC is a class 10, the other models, the lower space models, like the 32gb and 16gb are class 6 and denoted as SDHC
And I'm on about the 64GB model and have always been in this thread...!

I ordered this one and have just had an email from Amazon that it is due to be despatched on 17 May. A little more expensive than Play but should definitely have it in time and I have an Amazon gift certificate to use up.
---------- Post added at 04:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:03 PM ----------
I have just noticed that the Amazon one is called Sandisk Ultra but the Play one is called Sandisk Mobile Ultra and specifically mentions Android. Are these the same item or are their two versions of the 64Gb SDXC card?
Anyone know?

samsung is a class 10, sandisk a class 6.
I never was a SD card pro, until now
Upgraded from a 8GB Class 2 on my SGS to a Class 10 32GB from Samsung. More space for MKV movies ;]
Mine arrived class 10 "extreme speed"
I'll post speeds when I get back to the UK in around a week or so.
what would one recommend between a class 10 SanDisk 32gb and a class 10 Samsung 32gb? both very similarly priced
