Kingston SDHC (4MB/Sec) vs SanDisk Extreme SDHC (30MB/Sec)

Testing whether or not a class 10 SDHC by SanDisk card can produce a better video image than a class 4 SDHC by Kingston. Answer: surprisingly the Kingston class 4 was superior with my GoPro HD Hero cameras. Also much cheaper: SanDisk 8GB $79.99 vs Kingston 32GB $99.99 sold from GoPro. For more information see:

and for the best video camera around (and the one I use) see: http://myworldfromabicycle.blogspot.com/2010/09/buy-best-high-definition-vide...

@ TheSKLord, a higher speed card will not improve video quality, but will increase the upload speed to your computer.

@jeffhanson1: yep (sorta.... there is a slight color and difference). My blog: myworldfromabicycle.blogspot.c­om explains it pretty well. But you are basically much more correct than myself. Philfieger has it right as well.

SanDisk Extreme SDHC card packaging says: "delivers extreme performance ideal for continuous burst shooting, high definition video, and faster data transfer to computer"

[Superhandydave]

The San Disk Extreme SDHC is advertised for "Extreme performance for extreme conditions". I thought heavy/fast ribrations would qualify. Apparently not.

/is it a big diffrent between does too cards?

[TheSKLord]

Also, do you recommend that i buy 30mb/s? Is it worth it and why

PLEASE Reply!

[TheSKLord]

is a 95 mb/s The top one?

will the quality be beter then 30mb/s?

[MenkoDany]

@philflieger It can. The os on your Device might get it's RAM full and it could force itself to do some heavy drop, of something.

[jeffhanson1]

Hmm, your video isn't showing a difference in video quality. In fact there in NO detectable difference. Some people are using this Kingston Class 4 card in cameras which call for Class 6 and it seems to work.

Erm - you don't really try to tell me the IMAGE QUALITY was affected by the type of sd card? If there were drop outs or broken / aborted recordings you might blame the sd card. But a sd card can not affect the image quality.
