    Pardon my ignorance but what does class 6 mean on this card, is it referring to the speed ?

    #5 class 6 means the minimum writing speed is at least 6M bytes per sec, which is the same as 40x.

    * Class 2: minimum sustained DTS of 2MB/sec (13x Speed)
    * Class 4: minimum sustained DTS of 4MB/sec (26x Speed)
    * Class 6: minimum sustained DTS of 6MB/sec (40x Speed)

    The issue with regular SD memory cards and other cards for that matter, is that if the card has a write speed of say 6MB/Sec or 40x Speed, then it's maximum speed is that. So the device (eg. camera) will start writing the image or data to the card at 0MB/sec and then work up to the top operating speed of 6MB/sec and then slow down again to 0MB/sec as it finishes wrting the data, thus meaning the average write speed may be around 3MB/Sec.

    Therefore the SDHC format, which has a guaranteed minmum write speed of say 6MB/Sec (40x Speed) will start at this speed and may in fact have a higher top speed - like the SanDisk Extreme III Secure Digital Card - SDHC 4gb Memory Card, this is a Class 6 card - therefore having a minimum sustained write speed of 6MB/Sec - 40x Speed, but has a top speed of 20MB/Sec - 133x Speed.

    In simple terms this means SDHC cards start writing data a specified speed and sustain that speed, whereas regular SD Cards start writing data at 0MB/Sec and build up to a top speed; SDHC memory cards start writing the data at a higher minimum speed. SDHC cards are classified to guarantee a specific sustained DTS.

    Sorry guys...I just saw the shipping thing. I withdraw my original comment about "a reasonable price". Sad
