So I was looking for a Sandisk Ultra SDHC 16GB class 4 card. If you go in amazon and do a category search or a key word search, doesn't matter, it will return multiple matches. They will look similar but there are differences, like speed, class, US/Japan version etc. Not only that, once you click on a product, you will see more options, like "Amazon hassle free" or Retail version". And sometimes, class 4 was more expensive than class 6. Then picture and description wont match, picture will say class 4 description will mention speeds that are of class 6 and vice versa.
I spent two day going through them again and again, but eventually was super confused and went for the cheapest one, I though how bad can it be, Ultra does not come below class 4 and that's all I need. So finally ordered this for 19.99. Received it today, turns out its Class 6!!! Although I was very happy to receive a class 6 while paying for Class 4, I kept thinking about how confusing and incorrect Amazon's descriptions were. Most of the time for many things, the description is not sufficient and I end up looking at the specs elsewhere and whatever little bit description is there, is mostly wrong.
