Hi all,
I just bought my girlfriend a surprise camera (Pentax W80), I also got a SDHC card for it without first checking if "Class 2" is fast enough for HD video...
Should I get a faster SD card?
Thanks
Garry

I don't know anything about the W80 but generally SD or CF card speed is not a big issue for video recording as even with HD the camera doesn't record at its maximum resolution so the data output is not that high. Card speed is more of an issue with regards to continuous shooting.

OK, I guess I'll give it a try then before getting a new card, thanks.
