What does the class number mean. Is class 10 better than class 4?

From what I can research class 10 should be better than class 4 (as per wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital#Speed_class_rating). I suppose it comes down to what you need to use it for and if you think it will really make a difference in the quality of what you are capturing and playing back.

Ths is the speed class of the card. The speed class designates minimum writing performance to record video. Yes, 10 is better but it depends what you are using the card for and in what piece of equipment. I would just google class number and it will tell you the differences in the classes.

To add to what Neeraj Prabhu said.Class 10 labeling dose not apply to USB flash drives. Class 10 SD cards speeds 10MB/s. With my PNY Turbo I have seen write speeds above 100 MB/s. It's more than 10x as fast.

the "Class" represents the minimum transfer rate you should see with these cards.Class 4 = 4MB/sClass 6 = 6MB/sClass 10 = 10MB/sThere is an informative page on the kingston site at the following link:http://www.kingston.com/flash/sdhc.asp

Class 6 & up, is likely what they meant. (Unless either he didn't really kno they have a new Class out now, or you mentioned Class 10 & he wasn't sure what it meant) The lower the "Class", the "slower" the card; this is probably most noticeable between shots when you're waiting for the camera to return to "ready to shoot" OR when you want to quickly review the pics you've just taken/ last shot, & they take forever to come up or scroll thru. Class 10 is considered better & faster because it is supposed to be, and the best brands are usually Transcend & SanDisk, but everyone's preference varies depending on experience, so if you prefer, just buy whatever is most affordable in the meantime until you can work your way up to something more expensive, more roomy, more faster &/or more quality. Oh, and also, the amount of speed you'd want in a card (and camera) really depends on the main usage for your camera, ie do you want to be able to shoot lots of HD footage? (HD, being heavier than regular video becuz of its high quality, works best on faster cards) Or will you just be taking mostly pictures & if using video, they'll just be casual things going straight to YouTube/ etc? If the latter, a Class 6 is perfectly fine. It's been the leading Class for quite a few years now, so some slower cards (Class 2 or 4) still exist; it's best to avoid those. If the former, then a Class 10 is indeed the best choice, as it is the latest advancement in the speeds of digital storage cards. Hope this helps! xoxoxo

the higher the class the better, but from sd specs alone, technically a class 4 at 4 megs/second should be sufficient since it can write atleast 3.6 gigs in 15 minutes, when you only need 1 gig per 15 minutes for this camera. I would suggest getting atleast a class 4 just to be on the safe side. (although a class 2 will be 1.8 gigs per 15 minutes), so you need a card that can write at fast speeds.

I tried two brand new 32Gb sandisk class 10 and received memory errors. I emailed Baiklov and they answered within 24 hours. They specifically told me to use a class 4 or 6. I bought a class 4 and it has been working great in the camera. They updated the product info today for this camera to state that they recommend class 4 or 6 cards. Very ....very......responsive company.

No only class 2,3 and 4. These have the bigger receiver box. Not the little one on cars

Like I said, just making sure. I found a good deal on an 8GB class 4, I think $12.50. Really, not much more expensive than class 2, so I figured: why not?

I use it with Class 10 and personally I use 32GB. But that depends on how wure you want to be about it playing smoothly your videos (class 10 would be a better bet), and how big and number of videos you want to store in the memory (in my case I do not want to run any risk of getting a full memory signal, so 32GB was my safe bet).

Class 4 is good enough. I use a class 4, 8G sandisk SD. The result is very satisfied.

Ramon, Class 10 SD cards write faster than Class 6. With the HD setting, you are writing a lot of memory to the SD card to save a video and you should have the fastest card you can get which, in this case, is a Class 10.

Yes, class 10 mainly used for dslr due to performance but it will work on any camera that requires sd card.

The first number is the rated breaking strength, the second is an indication of the diameter when compared to monofilament. If you want 10lb, buy "10/4". It's ten pound Fireline that has the same diameter (thickness) as 4lb monofilament.

The tablet is compatible with class 10 and class 4. You can use either one should not make much of a difference from the tablet's point of view.

The "Brand " of the card makes no difference at all. It is the speed of access to the cards data that is important. A class 10 card is what you are looking for. I am sure that the cards "Brand" varies as to best price. If you are having issues with the brand named in your question please see this link.http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=91&t;=83220&p;=588601#p588601

FYI class 10 means 10Mb per second, that's megabytes per second not to be confused with Mbps or megabits. 10Mb per second = 12.5Mbps. On a D5100 the max bitrate is 18mbps, or 2.25Mb well under the 10Mb/s

It's easier for me to c-n-p from a very informative site than try and explain in my own words;ClassThe other specification you'll notice in SD cards is the Class, which refers to the speed of SD card.Similar to CDs and DVDs, SD cards have certain rated write speeds. Class 0 cards are those that were designed before the Speed Class Rating was defined by the SD Association. Class 2 SD cards have write speeds of 2 MB per second. Class 4 is 4 Mbps. Class 6 is 6 Mbps, and Class 10 is 10 Mbps and so on.Hope this helps.
