What are the Best SD cards for recording in HD as well as D-SLR Camera?
I have a Nikon D-60 and a Nikon S8100 that I use for 1080p Video. I've seen a class 10 card but I've never heard of the brand.
Added (1). The Class 10 is called Transcend… Anyone have one of these
When it comes to videos and pictures, there really isn't a better or worse SD card in itself. What you really need is memory. The cameras are going to be for your recording quality, but you need a massive card, affordable price, and a reliable company.
Obviously, you don't want to get a cheap card that has a chance of failure - I know that with a dSLR, you're not really… Happy, when a drive fails and you lose all of your pictures. Kingston, PNY and SanDisk are two very good reliable brands of cards, and they're not too expensive on some websites, such as Amazon.com. Sure, you don't want a LOW class, but after a while, class isn't really significant. It's mainly about speed, and massive pictures and videos aren't bound to be speed-demons in the first place. A class 4 or 6 are decent cards. You've got to remember that some computers can't even read more recent classes. Is it worth extra speed for having to buy a custom card reader to plug in? Those range in price.

That's the one that I recommend. It's got 16GB, which should satisfy you for tons and tons and tons of pictures, and four hours of video.
Hope I've helped out some.
For 1080P video you need a class 6 card or above.
As with most things you get what you pay for, San Disk Extreme cards can repair themselves in case of corruption, cheap cards can't.
I've heard of Transcend, I've even got a couple they are Class 10, so far so good, but I use my cards in such a way that they will rarely (if ever) corrupt so they've never been really tested. It doesn't seem any faster than my San Disk class 6 when downloading pictures and video files.
The safest way to use cards is to format the card in the camera its going to be used in.
Take your pictures and video.
Download the pics and video to your hard drive (preferably two)
Format the card in camera (or other camera if its going to be used in that) ready for next time.
Don't delete pictures or video from a full card to make room, just change the card when full. Never format the card using a computer.

I have a 16G class 6 transcend card. I have used transcend, kingston and sandisk with no problems at all.
I have an eos t1i and I use 8gb / Class 10. Very fast. The fastest card available. San Disc.
