SanDisk Extreme HD Video – Flash memory card – 16 GB – Class 6 – 133x – SDHC

I bought a Panasonic Lumix 14MP camera after my 7MP Sony focus stopped working. The camera needed some memory, so I started looking at all the options.
The Lumix does 720p video, which takes up a lot of space. Shooting video also requires a fairly fast transfer rate, so I started reviewing different card classes.
Class 2 - not fast enough.
Class 4 - maybe fast enough, but that 'possibly not' made me start looking at Class 6 and 10.
Class 10 - definitely fast enough, but way too expensive for what you get. I don't want to spend more on a memory card than I spent on the camera.
Class 6 - looks like the right speed and price-point for what I want.

When I ordered my new Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ40 14.1 MP Digital Camera with 24x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 3.0-Inch LCD (Black) I looked at a lot of SD cards but ended up ordering this class 6 SanDisk Extreme HD. I wanted a class 10 but let's face it, they are really expensive, so I hoped this class 6 would work out. The camera not only shoots 14.1 megapixel HD stills but records 60 fps HD 1080i video as well. After using the camera and card for about a week this card seems a good overall choice.

With this SanDisk class 6 there is no lag whatsoever when shooting in any of the video modes from 30 fps jpeg. to 60 fps... Read more

I've bought two of these now, product is great, as a professional photographer SanDisk always serves me well, these were bought for a new video camera and I expect as much from them as the ones I have for still photography. Service was good and shipping time was excellent. Would certainly buy from them again....
