You'll notice an improvement in camera response. Well, it'll decrease your wait time for things to load and save files. It'll save you a lot of pain down the road ;) I dunno if there are cameras out there that use MicroSD, but even those cameras will be delayed in taking the next picture because it isn't done writing to the Class 2 card, resulting in wait times.
THIS card is a Class 6, which gives you 6MB/s. Pay the few extra bucks for the 3x speed increase. For those of you who don't understand why you'd pay more for this, it's simple: SPEED. Class 2 is what most MicroSD cards out there are rated at, but you'll get 2MB/s speed out of them. My example: I have a Sirius Stiletto 2, which I had a Class 2 8GB MicroSD. THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE.
And that's why you want a Class 6. Let's say, one picture is 5MB in size. This doesn't include the time your camera needs to reset itself for the next pic. On a Class 6 card, it would finish writing that pic within 1 second. When I go to the music Library, it would take sooo long for the list of songs to load.so slow that I could scroll down the list and the song names would STILL be loading :(. That would be terrible in situations in birthdays when cutting the cake and blowing out the candles. Then there's Class 4 = 4MB/s.
On a Class 2 card, you'd have to wait 2.5 seconds THEN you can take your next pic. Now, with the Class 6 card, the songs load MUCH FASTER and even if I tried to scroll down the list, I cannot keep up anymore. Why should this matter to you. Yeah.
All in all I have no issues with this memory device. Typical plastic hard package (good for storage)I got this for extra memory in my Garmin Nuvi GPS. But for the price. Of course nothing I've used it in stresses the chip to any extent. Works as promised and holds all the extra waypoints I use on travels.Let one of my friends borrow it for his phone (needed more memory for his camera) Afterwords we slid it into the SD carrier and into a USB reader. Downloaded easily.
Works great in my Canon Digital Elphs. The price helps the decision as well. I've had great experience with Transcend in the past and this is no different. It has been reliable and very fast.
Would definitely purchase again. Write speeds are very fast, which translates into shorter lag time between photos. I purchased a few of these to use in some cell phones I was looking at. Ended up purchasing phones that don't have SD slots, so I use them in my digital cameras.
Unlike a previously orderd microSD card from Amazon, (not the same seller) this one actually shipped in a package and not a ziplock bag and worked when I inserted it into my devices and computer.Pros: Speed, packaging, reliability are great - not even close to any problemsCons: None
