good! more than good!

just that, do you need class 10? if you can get cheap then ok la.

1. quality makes no difference whether Class 2 or Class 10.
2. speed wise - do you burst mode often? do you snap in RAW?

D5000 is only 12.9 MP. your fastest burst is 4 fps. video also 720p only.

i have class 2 and class 4 cards, snapping bigger MP and also 720p as yours - no sweat man.

from my experience

HD, as in 720p - works fine with Class 2 and Class 4.

1080p - best using Class 6 onwards.

off topic liao. post process of course from RAW la. waffor you snap in RAW and JPG to just edit JPG? unless brightness / contrast adjustment only.

in fact if you snap RAW, no reason for RAW + JPG unless you need to pass the JPG to others or need to modify quickly.

observe, decide. *I recommend going for Class 6 or faster card

not sure about other Camera brands but Canon users have experienced that some brands, though Class 6 or faster, have problem recording video.

Apparently Transcend has problems la. I've checked out others and they (using Canon) have problem with Transcends as well. Class 6 too if not mistaken.

The video just records a bit then poof - stop. same goes another person who asked me on FB - using Sandisk Class 4.

my Kingston Class 2 and Class 4 all no problem even with 1080p. can video until run out of space some more.

er, you blur liao.

nothing to do with the class. the class just indicates writing speed.

we're just saying that some brands, though they stated to be higher Class type, they don't work well.

donno. Transcend i thought decent brand. I also donno la. All i know is my Kingston works. I've heard of Transcend and Sandisk failing.

oh btw, in i donno if what i face is Canon related or any video related la. in some cases, I record a few second it just stopped. what I do is just take out the SDHC and just blow it / rub it or whatever clean the contacts and put in. then ok already.

Added on May 18, 2010, 1:02 ami just mentioned i've heard of Sandisk failing. hehe. i think best is try out friend's unit with your camera when possible.

i took a gamble with Toshiba Class 10 recently - works fine!

i saw forum here got people selling Sandisk 16GB Class 10 below RM 200, i was like WTH!??!! got so cheap meh? even at DCIM also 16GB class 10 was about RM 299.

erm. you sure you're giving us the right stats or not?

Class 10 SDHC where got so fast writing speed wan.

faster writing speed.

the Class 2 - 4- 6 - 10 are figures based on writing speed.

they're critical for video / burst mode with file types / selection of big file size, eg 18MP RAW + JPG for example.

that's odd. Class 2 can handle 720p easily.

for your usage 4GB also a lot of space already.
