What card ratings are generally recommended for different types of cameras?
SanDisk Extreme® SDHCTM cards1, which are currently rated up to 30MB/s, are recommended for DSLR cameras that take high-resolution images and provide continuous shooting mode or continuous burst mode. SanDisk Ultra® SDHC cards, which are currently rated for 15MB/s read and 9MB/s write speeds, are recommended for high-megapixel, high-end digital point-and-shoot cameras. Users should match class ratings with the camera or camcorder manufacturer’s recommended specifications for video capture and playback. However, any camera or camcorder that captures high definition video requires a minimum class rating of 4 or higher. 1 SanDisk Extreme SDHC cards will replace SanDisk Extreme III 30MB/s Edition cards.
