What is SDHC?

To support the higher capacity needs, SD cards are now requiring a different design. The new SD 2.0 specifications – which supports 4GB and up – is called Secure Digital High Capacity(SDHC). The SD Association has created and defined 3 speed classes to help you identify speed and performance capabilities/minimum requirements of SDHC cards and their SDHC host products. Details on the SD 2.0 specification: http://www.sdcard.org or SanDisk.com/SDHC

Cards address data (read and write) at numerous speeds. Many factors impede this performance. SDHC guarantees a minimum read and write speed necessary to handle recording high quality video and audio. The maximum card speed may vary, but you can always depend on SDHC cards to meet your SDHC host product’s high quality performance requirements.

User Ratings and Reviews

3 Stars good for some applications, but not for all
I’m a journalist that works with both radio and photo. I recently bought this card (four of them) to use with Marantz’s latest solid state recorder (PMD-661). The card seems to do well with large quick bursts of data (photos), but for an application like audio recording, which involves a medium sized steady flow of data, they perform much poorer. On my initial outing using these cards for audio, the recorder crashed 4 times in the course of a 1 hour interview–a serious problem. Later that night, I tried several of the cards and experienced the same problem. I have subsequently used these cards exclusively for photography (Nikon D80) and have had no problems at all. I have also subsequently used exclusively 1GB and 2GB SD cards in the Marantz and had no problems at all–not a single crash. I have heard anecdotal evidence of other audio professionals having similar problems with this particular card, though I have not heard it first hand.

3 Stars UltraII is class 2, sometimes 4
It is hard to tell if the Sandisk UltraIIs are class 2 or class 4 devices. But they are listed for the same speed. Their pictures of the card says class 2, but their picture of the same card in its packaging says class 4. However, whether I got real sandisk or not, they seem to work good. They don’t seem to care about others copying their products:-(

5 Stars Great Product
All the speed and performance one could possibly need for the Canon SX110. Loads of capacity.

5 Stars great deal
You can’t go wrong with SanDisk. I’ve bought some off-brand SD cards and in the past and sometimes they don’t read in my camera.

I can always get a great deal on amazon

5 Stars Excellent Product
I purchased the SanDisk Ultra II 4GB SD Memroy Card and card readeron 12/29 and received it in about a week. I love it and the seller was great! I would do business with them again. I purchased this to use on my new Canon PowerShot SD770 camera. I love that too!!
