I didn't want to review this card by anecdote alone so I used some testing software and compared this amazon 16GB Class 4 card to others I had handy and here are the results:

Great Little High-Capacity SD Card That Beats Rated Specs

I really like this SD card. Although it is rated Class 4 (i.e., sustained write speeds of 4 MB/s), my testing revealed it to perform more like a Class 6 card (sustained write speeds of 6 MB/s). Check out my results using H2testw v1.4 (I also tested a Transcend 16 GB Class 10 SD card I own as a benchmark & for comparison. I ran two tests on each card):

TEST 1

Amazon Basics 16 GB Class 4

Warning: Only 15139 of 15140 MByte tested.
Test finished without errors.
Writing speed: 5.60 MByte/s
Reading speed: 8.58 MByte/s
H2testw v1.4

Transcend 16 GB Class 10

Warning: Only 15378 of 15379 MByte tested.
Test finished without errors.
Writing speed: 9.21 MByte/s
Reading speed: 11.9 MByte/s
H2testw v1.4

TEST 2

Good performance and value.

I have used this in both my camcorder (JVC GZ-HM200BU)and my digital camera and it has worked well in both. The speed is beyond adequate for my needs (hobby photography) and the pictures and videos turned out really clear while using it. If you are a professional and using this for beyond "basic" needs, might make sense to compare speeds and classes on the card, but for every day basic photography needs, this card works great and is a pretty good value. It was quick and easy to transfer the pictures to my computer (HP, Windows 7).
