    I need a little help... I need to pick up a few SD cards for my new Browning Strike Force cams. It's supports up to 32GB and recommends San Disk or Kingston brand, class 4, "HC" cards.
    So I'm looking online and see San Disk 32GB Class 4 for about $15. Then I see the same card, only a "secure" version for about $10....? What's the difference? I also saw a Sony 32GB "HC" on sale for $7.99, but it was Class 10. What does this mean?? Lol.. Any advice/direction is greatly appreciated!

    I only by class 10. It has fast recording speeds so if you have an HD trail cam it might make a difference. If you record anything at high resolution such as an HD camcorder you want a class 10 or U1 card.

    I only buy San Disk Class 10 cards. I have NEVER had an issue with them working in any device I use them in. Just my preference.

    i have been using the Sony 32GB "HC" on sale for $7.99, Class 10 the class 10 is the speed the card can down or up load data [pictures] some camera manufactures say to only use class 4 but i have never had trouble with the class 10

    I cant imagine leaving my cams out long enough to need 32GB. That is a S**T load of pics to go thru at one time.

    I buy the SANDISK Ultra 8GB off Amazon. You can get 5 for $23. They work great.

    For those cams, At minimum I would get is a class 6 card. All I use is Sandisk as well. Usually a 8gb otherwise if i want to do video then I put a 16gb in.

    Good choice I usually try not to go under 8 then I don't have to worry if I have enough room when season comes around and I let them soak a bit longer

    My thoughts, exactly. I usually work 6-7 days a week and live 1.5 hours away from my hunting woods.
