32gb SDHC card - Need help
I know it's not exactly about kites but it seems like we have a pretty tech savvy group here so I thought I'd post my question.
I'm looking for a 32gb SDHC card for my HD GoPro camera which hopefully should be arriving in a few days.
Anyone come across any good deals? And do I need a Class 6 card or would a Class 4 be sufficient? Any particular brands that you like? Any brands you
think I should stay away from?
Thanks.

I know we were talking about this in another thread, but I've been told to stay away from Adata brand. Just too hit and miss for the money. They say
class 6 but are definately not.

SanDisk/Kingston is my vote as well. However; I do have the Adata 4gb SDHC card for my wife's camera and it works just fine. It's been working fine
for about 4 years so... I can't say anything bad about them 
Oh, and just to make things a bit more complicated:

...I thought I remembered reading about a class 10 last night...Ah man...too many choices ;-)
...and I was thinking about going the way of SanDisk/Kingston...never had any problems with their cards before...
I was hoping to only spend about $60 but I think it's looking like $80-$100. Hoping I only need a Class 4...

SanDisk 32Gb Class 10 here easily avaliable but you'll pay 16,000 yen or about US$180  I got a 16Gb for 9,000 yen for my Pentax.
I know for the GoPro SD you don't need much transfer speed and there is no gain in quality by getting a faster card ... you may be able to get away
with a Class 6 or even 4 on the HD ...??? What's the bitrate of HD anyway?
I read somewhere that if an SD card is going to fail, it'll do it after 6 formats so the manufacturer contact guy recommended doing 6 formats (duh!)
in a row after you bought the card ...
Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...
