Re: 32 G Microsd card cheap

I emailed Sandisk about their 32GB cards and Classes. This is what they said:

Dear Customer,

Thanks for emailing SanDisk Technical Support. It is our goal to make sure you have all the resources you need to get the most from your product.

SanDisk is currently manufacturing 32 GB Micro SDHC cards in Class 2 only.

Speed Class is a minimum speed based on a worst case scenario test. The Speed Class is important for video mode or camcorders, where the device is actually saving a steady stream of data. The resolution and format of the video determines the amount of steady stream data. This translates to a minimum speed you need to guarantee that the video captured on the cards is recorded at an even, sustained rate with no dropped frames (which typically results in lost data and choppy playback).

So it looks like were stuck with Class 2 for the time being until another company starts making them. Think I'll just have to make do with my 16GB card for now. $200 is a little steep.
