Question

Hello,
I wanted to ask which sd card is the best for Desire?
I'm thinking of buying 16Gb or 32Gb card, which would you recommend? Is Sandisk 32GB card only 2nd Class, and will it be good with Desire, when 720p filming will be abled and etc.?

I would recommend a decent class4 or higher 16GB card. They can be picked up quite reasonably, 32GB cards are still around

 

[Niiiceg]

Yes, But if not money which is better 16Gb 6Class or 32Gb 2class (because I didn't see higher)

Technically the 16GB class 6 is better because its rated for 6MB per second write speed the 32GB class 2 will only be rated for 2MB per second. Thats not to say it wont be actually be faster its just thats all the manufacturers have rated it for.

From wikipedia

Speed Class Rating
The Speed Class Rating is the official unit of speed measurement for SD Cards, defined by the SD Association. It is equal to 8 Mbit/s, and it measures the minimum write speeds based on "the best fragmented state where no memory unit is occupied":[10]

The following are the ratings of some currently available cards:
Class 2: 16 Mbit/s (2 MB/s)
Class 4: 32 Mbit/s (4 MB/s)
Class 6: 48 Mbit/s (6 MB/s)
Class 10: 80 Mbit/s (10 MB/s)

For HD video I would say you are going to need at least a class4 card to be able to write fast enough.

Definitely.
