I am on the hunt of a MicroSD 4GB card. Which company of the following should i buy of ?

1. Transcend
2. Verbatim
3. Toshiba
4. Sandisk

Also i have seen that the "CLASS" of the card determines the price. A Class 4, 4gb card is obviously more expensive than a class 2, 4GB card. Is it worth going for this class difference ?
Class 6 cards are not available from all retailers, that's what i have seen.
So like buying class 4 would be a good choice ?
Also considering it is a class 4, 4GB, what should be its ideal price and yes which company from the above is preferable for the reliability of card.

PS: Please reply a little quickly as i have plans of ordering the card online by tomorrow to ensure that delivery is done in next couple of days.
 
Most important , what will the card be used for . If its for a very high megapixel count digicam , Class 4 or 6 is needed whereas for a mobile phone , even Class 2 will do . Brands rarely make a difference in terms of reliability for memory cards , but if i have to choose , it would be sandisk
 
Recently bought 3 x Transcend 8GB Class 6 cards two of them for use with a Photofast CR 5400 in my PSP and another for my mobile. I am pretty satisfied with them though I haven't bench marked them or any thing.

Not a bad deal. I am using same camera with 4GB Class 6 and 8GB class 2. In case of class 2 it takes more time to save or delete images. Class 6 is essential if you take videos. (if I am not wrong) For videos I use Mini DV handycam.
 
Like all our friends have mentioned above me, get a good quality card.

The deal you are getting is pretty nice. Just make sure the dealer is trustworthy as there is no dirth of fake cards around.

I was earlier using a 2GB microSD card with my CycloDSEvolution, then I switched to a 8GB Transcend Class 6 card, and I noticed a huge improvement in the performance. I can even play Castlevania: Potrait of Ruin, which requires random access times in the range of 0.7ms!

All the best for your purchase. :)
 
Dude.. where u getting a 4 GB for 500 bucks?

I also needto buy a 2 or 4GB micro SD card for my Canon digicam.

Mobile store is selling Sandisk 4 GB for 690/- and 2 GB for 425/-

Is it available cheaper anywhere else? Like at Alpha? How much should the approx cost be?
 
Dealer is trustworthy. I am buying from newegg china website. So that should not be a problem. I will still confirm with their customer care today but the pic on website clearly states it is class 6 and there is the number 6 with a circle around it on card also.
