[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 454695, member: 13090"] The most prominent numbers are the Read and Write speeds of the card. The higher the numbers the faster the card can manipulate data. The Read speed indicates how fast the card can move data from the card to, say, your computer. The Write speed indicates how fast the card can take data from, say, your camera's buffer and write it to the card. The second number is the more critical of the two, for most of us I assume, but manufacturers will frequently make the faster Read speed the most prominent on the packaging; it's not deceptive, you just need to know what you're looking at. "Class" as in "Class 3" or "Class 10" is also an indicator of speed but it's more complicated to explain. Simply put, there's no reason NOT to have a Class 10/UHS-1 compatible card these days; that's pretty much the standard and I don't recommend you drop below it. For what it's worth, I've found great success with [url=http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Memory-UHS-I-Grade-Class/dp/B00J4G94BW/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1432125379&sr=8-4]Samsung PRO SD cards[/url].
