Dear Experts,
After much consideration I purchased a Panasonic SD60 (they ran out of TM60s unfortunately).
I am now looking for SD cards and it's even more confusing than I would have guessed.
May I have recommendations as to
1. Brand of card. Mine came packaged with 8Gb Toshiba but I'll definitely need another one. Sandisk seems to have good repute but I'm damn confused by all their different versions such as Extreme, Extreme III, Ultra etc. I believe I can forget about Compact Flash and stick to SDHC
2. Where to purchase? I was comparing prices from B&H (overseas) and DDE Electronics (Singapore). thanks to my general ignorance even price comparisons were hard. Is it cheaper to buy cards here or from overseas, and is there a recommended venue?
PS: Given all my readings I think that speed of transfer to computer is definitely important for me. My rudimentary reasoning so far leads me to decide I'll really be wanting Class 6 and above, yet some don't go by this rating, just by Mb/s. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Any other advice would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
