Trying to buy a 16gb sd hc card for my uncles new camera - however I was looking at a class 4 kingston one

- but also at a sandisk ultra II one which although a class 2 has 15mbs emblazoned on it http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0014VY28A/ref=s9_simi_gw_s0_p23_i1?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-1&pf_rd_r=05ZSBFDHSS43F03W2SEB&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=467198433&pf_rd_i=468294

- confused as to what one will write the pictures taken to the card the quickest - don't care about transfer rate from card to pc. Anyone help?

Thanks

Not the best resource, but will do the job.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital Under 'speeds' a third the way down.

Thanks - but doesn't seem to help me (prob just don't understand it ) I understand the class speeds 2, 4 6, etc but i don't get the 15mbs the sandisk card is advertising - what does it do at this speed?

Looking at the resourse cuppajoe kindly posted the Sandisk is

100x 15.0mbs class 15 so better than classes 2,4 and 6.
