I own 32gb sdhc Class10 Sandisk as well..But they are the 45mb/sec..Amazon sells them for $30. Id rather have the faster mb's IMO..Thanks anyway....

I bought 2 of these last year and paid $19.99 each so the price is pretty good! In August I upgraded my cards to the ones ShootRaw mentions, but I paid $27.99 for the 45mb/sec (which are $30.99 right now). Not everyone will want to pay an extra $10 per card for the faster mb's so it's still a good deal.

I've been getting the extreme pro sandisk lately. The first three cards I got with 45mb/s and the second three I got with 95mb/s. I imagine they are faster than I needed. But I figured it wouldn't hurt anything. With my current Nikon models I figured I'd just get three of the 8gb cards for my D90 and three 8gb cards for my D5100. My D3100 has a amazon 32 GB card, but I'm unsure what speed/s it works at.

Anyway so far so good! Lol I haven't had any issues with any of the Nikon's or cards yet! Knock on wood! Lol :D

I'm wondering if you'll even notice a difference between 30 and 45mb/sec? Can the buffers even read out at 95mb/sec ?

Personally I have not yet tried out the faster 45mb/s cards yet. I ordered them in August for my D600 but started sending the camera back to Nikon in September so I never opened up the packages. Lol!

I can't say for sure. But when I was using the 32gb card and held the shutter button down checking the speed of the shots over about twenty seconds, it slowed down after just a few seconds. But using one of the 45/s cards repeating the test it didn't slow down in the 20 seconds. No I don't believe the buffer read at 95mb/s, but I just didn't know for sure how fast they read.
So I believe the 45mb/s cards are about right for the Nikon's I have now, even for extremely fast shooting bursts. :D
I can still use the 95mb/s cards, though I don't believe I will see any advantage over the 45mb/s cards with my current Nikon's.
