[QUOTE="goz63, post: 6309, member: 1557"] While I am not specifically familiar with the D3100, you should be able to use a class 4 card. The obvious advantage is that the higher class cards write faster. You should be able to get video on the class 4 without a problem though. Even in still photography, you have a buffer that will hold multiple pictures allowing you to shoot and let the card catch up. Unless you are shooting a ton of pictures in high burst mode, you will be fine with a class 4. I have both for my D90 and notice little difference when I shoot. For an economical card, Sam's Club has a Toshiba class 4 for $20 that both my father and I have and it works great. He has a D80 and I have the D90. Hope that helps. P.S. Your user manual should also let you know if there is a specific requirement for HD video, but again, I doubt it. [/QUOTE]
