They're all the same, HD or no HD. SDHC card specifications are all the same because they are governed by the same body.

How fast is this? It says Class 4 on it. I'm guessing that's 4MB/sec minimum, since other Bens listings show Class 6 as 6MB/sec minimum.

just beware of the rebate format... i received a $40 rebate from sandisk that was in the form of a visa pre-paid card. 3 out of 4 merchants said it got rejected... i tried maybe 8-9 stores / restaurants over a few months. thought it was a real pain to use. i will not do their money card ever again. according to the visa help line i now have a measly $3.31 left on it... i tried another merchant for $3 and got rejected. oh well. visa pre-paid cards suck the big buck. sandisk blows for using them. i like sandisk products real well... but won't buy their toys with the visa-sucks-card rebates any more.

#5, did you use this prepaid VISA card as a credit card? I found that you cannot use it as a debit card, but if you treat it as a normal credit card, it works fine up to the card value.

I've used a Visa pre-paid card fine as a credit card too.

Class 4 at this price... no bargain... class 6 with good write speeds are needed, something in excess of 6mb/sec to record HD.

to #4's point on having a SDHC card reader, the one at Yesbuy for $7 does work...I have one and have successfully used a couple of different SDHC cards, including a MicroSD with an adapter.

# 6,
yes - after the first 2-3 tries i called visa and asked what the deal was and then started specifying credit rather than debit. funny thing is, the card clearly states "debit visa" on the front. maybe the merchants just don't know how to use a credit cards.

8GB cards can be had for $18.
I would rather pay $6 more for two faster class 6 cards than risk a $50 rebate for 2 slow cards. No deal here.
