SD Card

[VanGogh53]

i am curious... has anyone claimed warranty on a faulty 3 year old SD card before?

Yes, I had. Claimed a 16G micro SDHC from Sandisk (Peninsular Plaza?). 5 years warranty. No problem. You need the receipt. Lucky I bought from Challenger, and got it to print out a spare receipt. They checked it, and gave me a new one.

Micro SD like easily spoil... more so than SD.

Pardon my ignorance, what is the difference between these 2 classes?

SanDisk is a good brand to get. THey have class 6 and class 10 SDHC cards.

If you like to do video and want a "faster" card, then go for Class 10, otherwise like me, go for Class 6 will do. I personally use Sandisk UltraII or now the call Sandisk Ultra.

In my opinion, K5 cannot take advantage of 90Mb/s using UHS-I.
So should take Class10 45MB/s, it's enough.
I've just bought Sandisk Extreme 16GB Class10 45MB/s, and really satisfied. It's much faster than my previous Class4.
