I got my little Canon SX30-IS camera yesterday and spent a good part of the evening reading through the online manual and ended up with a few questions and while I have emailed Canon, I don't expect a reply real soon so thought some here might know the answers.
The manual says the camera can use memory cards type SD or SD HC and leaves it at that. Upon shopping around I find that the SD HC cards run the gambit from 2mb per second to 20 mb per second and range in classes from Class 2, 4, 6, up to class 10. Somewhere along the line the camera must be able to support SD 3.0 to use these cards! Needless to say, I am more confused than when I started. I want a 16GB chip as seen here http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5625853&csid=_21 because I understand that I can take High Definition videos and a 16GB card will allow up to 1 1/2 hours total filming time.
Any thoughts or experiences with these class 10 SD-HC 16GB cards? OR, is there that much difference between a class 2 or class 4 to a class 10 in everyday use?
While we're at it, are there any outfits who consistantly have great prices and service so I can save googling every time I want an accessory?
