>> I think the class is irrelevant for playback. With a camera, you are cramming images onto the poor little card at many MB per second. The faster it can process them, the better. It might take you infinitesimally longer to load a video onto a class 2 card, but once it’s there, playback is easy. However, I have seen reports that for some reason Kingston cards and video are not beloved by Sansa players, so you might be better off with a different brand.<<
I read some posts that said class 2 cards might be marginal for video playback and other posts that said, like you said, the class is irrelevant for playback. The SanDisk 8GB class-2 card for $13 looks tempting but I do want the flexibility to put video on cards for my wife. The “infinitesimally longer to load video on a class 2 card” part doesn’t sound too good so for both reasons I guess I’ll stick with class-4 or class-6 cards.
Thanks,
