    on the latest 16 mega pixel cameras or hd camcorders you need these quicker cards IMHO

    DSLRs are nearly all limited by the mechanical speed of the camera and not the speed of the card.

    I doubt you will find any general use DSLR which would benefit from a fast card.

    Mines a compact camera and shoots 10 fps (frames per sec) if you had 1 of the OP cards in it would take the memory card nearly 4 secs to write it,but with a class 10 it is instant and you can take your next shot straight away.... There are a lot of new compacts under £200 that need the faster mem cards

    get me this class 10 for £1 a gb and i will bung you £40 via pay pal extra for ya self (SANDISK 32GB EXTREME PRO UH-1 SD HC MEMORY CARD 45MB/s)

    My computer's playing up so I can't search properly at the moment but I doubt you'd get Sandisk for that price. There areother makes that are just as good though. I use Transcend but there's also Kingston that are easily available at this sort of price. MyMemory sells them-look on Amazon or their own website. Do I get any of the £40 still?! ;)

    Lol no :) my mate used to live in Taiwan where these are made and they are £3 a gig for the class 10 pro sd cards,so if we could find em for £1 gig that would be Mega - but Mr T wouldn't sell them

    My local Tesco store had an SEL for £3.97 for a Sandisk 4gb m2 memory stick (no stock though), so it seems like there might be a few reductions on stuff like this.

    That will only write @ 15.2MB/s the ones I use write at least 60MB/s (But a nice try)
