It functions perfectly, reformats fine. I've used this card a lot. I recommend without reservation.
write speed of 2MBps or higherClass 4 = Min. write speed of 6MBps or higherAll of these speeds are based on an empty card (no memory units occupied) Disclaimer:I have not purchased this card, but I just wanted to let everyone know what the speed classes are for SD/SDHC cards:Class 2 = Min. write speed of 4MBps or higherClass 6 = Min.
I just noticed under "Technical Details" for this item that it has the specifications of a Class 2, but you can see on the picture of the item itself that it is a Class 4. He must be confused or have made a typo because a Class 4 is better than a Class 2. If his camera is incredibly old it could be that, but it is not normal for any SD card to take that long, period, unless taking a 20 megapixel photo onto a class 2, and even then it wouldn't take that long. DISCLAIMER: I don't own this product. I read Steve Carmeli's review that sated he bought this looking for a Class 2, and this is a Class 4 and therefore slower. I know the write speed of Class 2 is up to 5MB/sec, and Class 6 is sustained 20MB/sec, so I would imagine a Class 4 is 10MB/sec (up to or sustained I don't know, probably depends on the quality of the card rather than the Class).30-75sec to store a picture is NOT normal, and is either a defect in the SD card or his camera.
This Sd card has worked quickly and flawlessly since I purchased it. No problems at all.
This could mean lost pictures as you wait for your camera to cycle. We're talking about 30-75 seconds depending on the megapixel setting you select on your camera. Mind you, their tech support insists there's no difference, but I'm not persuaded. I purchased this Class 4 card thinking it was a Class 2 because it said "High Speed." Now, I don't know whether my Kodak Z712 IS is slow or this memory card is slow, but I tend to suspect the latter. Make no mistake, you will notice the time it takes to store a picture. Spend a few extra buck and go for a video-class, class 2 memory card.
