| 1142852 | 2010-10-09 04:34:00 | Hi i have a Panasonic DMC-FZ35. Specs here: panasonic.net I currently have a 16Gb and a 8Gb Dick Smith SD-HC Card, They are Class 6. I am wondering would it be worth getting a class 10 SD Card? See link: panasonic.net From the above link it would be cool if i could get the SD-XC cards, but i don't think they would work in my camera, So i am wondering if the Class 10 cards be worth getting, and a where would a good place to get one from at a really good price, i would prefer to get a Panasonic one like the ones in the link above. And if finances allow probably getting the 32Gb one. Any help would be appreciated. |

| 1142855 | 2010-10-10 19:54:00 | Just be sure the camera supports class 10 cards before buying any, there's probably no real advantage to getting them unless you're shooting at high speed. I bought some class 10 cards but the don't work in my video camera. My dSLR supports them ok though so all is not lost. :) That said, you can get 16GB Class 10 Transcend cards for just under ~$60. They're not super-high quality like SanDisk, but I've not had any problems. Check PriceSpy (pricespy.co.nz) and FlashCards (http://www.flashcards.co.nz) for prices. I got my recent ones from Aquila Tech. |

| 1142856 | 2010-10-13 04:20:00 | Ok, thanks, I am looking at upgrading and buying the Panasonic FZ100: panasonic.net And i am after the Panasonic XD-XC cards, are they available in New Zealand, and how much. I would like to stick with the Panasonic SD cards, i don't want to start mixing brands for the chips of my camera, expecially since it is a god quality camera. |

| 1142858 | 2010-10-13 19:57:00 | Stick with SDHC (since the camera supports it) until the price of SDXC cards drops. Unless you have a great need for 64GB cards. A 16GB card on my Canon 450D will hold almost 1000 photos and on my HD video camera will take just over 2hrs of video. |
