4GB Class 6 SDHC or 4GB 150x SD?

[lithium726]

I am trying to decide between these two cards, both OCZ. OCZ claims 22.5MB/s for the 150x card and 6MB/s for the SDHC card, but I have a hard time believing these are comparable on numbers alone... are there any differences between the ratings? I just want to get the faster one. My camera does support SDHC. Thanks!

I'm not certain of this, so take it with a grain of salt...

I think the "Class" ratings on the SDHC cards show a *minimum sustained* speed, where the regular SD cards are showing a *maximum burst* speed. I think it really depends on the specific cards, but I think the really high speed standard SD cards are typically faster than the SDHC cards.... again, this is just me recalling something I read online a while back.

Thanks for the help!

I think I'll just get the cheaper one, after all, I think either are going to be faster than my old Patriot 60x (read) card, and it's fast enough for me...

On a similar note, for the PowerShot SD800 IS, should I get a $50 Kingston class 4 card or a $75 Lexar Pro class 6 card?

Should I roll the dice on A-DATA?

Edit:
I went ahead and bought a PNY card from Newegg.
