Is this a Suitable memory card?

Options
Just bought my daughter a Fujifilm Finepix S4200 for Xmas

I have been advised to buy a good memory card to get the best from camera - is this one suitable do you think, Sandisk 32GB Class 10 Ultra SDHC £15.24?

    Yup. Class 10 is a good speed, so would be perfect for HD video and quick shots while at high pic quality settings, and is a big enough capacity that if she upgraded to a high end SLR itd still be suitable.

    When you get the card, make sure you test it before storing possibly valuable and important on it.

  • From my own daughters experience.... Buy multiple 4 or 8GB cards rather than one 32gb, they only take seconds to swap out and if you do have a card failure, you only loose whats on the card rather than everything you have taken.
    My eldest DD is doing a photography course and she can easily do 60+GB of pics in a session - she lost a whole days worth of work when her 32GB card died when she first started - now she has nothing bigger than 8gb on her bag.
