I use cheap sdhc cards - paying $17 to $24 per card. I bought 4 GB cards for the K20D, 2 of them, and then the 8 GB cards were available for $27 so I picked up 2 more. They are all class 6 speed rated.
I never bought sdhc cards for the K10D because I couldn't figure their speed. Paul's note inspired me to try one of my 150X 2GB sd cards vs an 8GB sdhc class 6 card. I shot 14-15 frames filling the buffer, then one more for good measure (longer delay). I watched the camera write to the card. The sdhc speed class 6 card took ~55 seconds from start finish. (pqi brand) The 150X 2GB sd card took ~84 seconds from start to finish. (ocz brand) So I'm happy with the sdhc speed class 6 stuff. The fastest card I have is a 233X 2GB card. The speed class 6 stuff should be close. Regards, Bob S.
