Both Amazon and B&H have a Class 10 Transcend SDHC card for $39 right now. This is a pretty solid price on memory, particularly for those who shoot a lot of HD video.
The Class 10 rating means it has a minimum write speed of 10MB/s, which covers practically all of the current crop of HD video cameras that use SD cards (this includes DSLRs like the Canon 60D and Nikon D7000). (Learn more about SD card speeds and ratings.)
SanDisk is laying claim to the fastest 32GB SDHC card with its new Extreme-series card, which offers 30 megabytes per second read and write speeds. That’s a whole lot of 15 megapixel images or HD video on your Canon Rebel T1i. They’ll be available in August.
