Micro SDHC Question

[SandEagle]

So I'm in the market for a 16GB microSD card for my cell phone (Samsung Memoir). I'm planning on taking a lot of pics and videos. Is it worth getting a Class 6 card over a Class 2 card? There's about a $27 difference between the two. Is performance gain noticeable on the Class 6? I only found one 16GB Class 6, anyone know where else to buy? thx

Since you're recording video, I would highly recommend the Class 6.

Class 6 makes quite the difference and I'd recommend it.

well, i searched like a dog and couldn't find any Class 6 microSD in 16GB size. Maybe they haven't been released yet?

Maybe. Looks like class 4 isn't available either. From what I read the SanDisk brand cards are quite fast for class 2 so you might be able to get away with one.

still kinda pricey; may have to just pick up a few class 6 8GBs instead

Keep in mind with Flash the speed differences aren't so apparent until you actually are running to capacity...

Personally for digicam use I'd rather a few 2-4GB cards than one large one.
