Class is another important specification. It tells the speed to read, write, or transfer the data.

SDHC Speed Class 4.svg Class 4 4 MB/sec
SDHC Speed Class 6.svg Class 6 6 MB/sec
SDHC Speed Class 10.svg Class 10 10 MB/sec

The bigger the class number, the faster.

To use the card in the different scenario.

  • Class 2 for SD video recording
  • Class 4 and 6 for high-definition video (HD) to Full HD video recording,
  • Class 10 for Full HD video recording and consecutive recording of HD stills

And also, to make sure the card you buy is campatiable with your device, say a CoolPix L22 digital camera. Go to the official site to find the list of Aproved SD cards for this product.

For this memory card pack I bought, open the pack completed, because the color labels are located on the upper portion.

It is about $20.00. 10 years warranty. 30MB/s read speed.
