Surprisingly Mediocre
By IlPrimitivo
I didn’t want to review this card by anecdote alone so I applied a good deal of testing software and equated this amazon 16GB Class 4 card to others I had handy and here are the results:
Amazon.com SDHC 16GB Class 4
AmazonBasics 16GB Class 4 SD Flash Memory Card

As you may see, the Amazon card is with regards to 50% slower as the HP card in write speed and 30% slower in reading yet the cost of the Amazon card is 25% higher. Even equated to the old RiData SDHC 4GB Class 2 card the Amazon card is only 30% rapidly and without delay in writing and marginally more quickly in reading speed. Why is that?
The Amazon card may be adequate for it’s class and full merchandising price point but when equated to the contest there are better selections to be made.
Amazon will need to demand a higher quality product from it is suppliers if it wants to compete in the market with it is own branded product.

Great for taking tons of photos and videos.
By J.F.
I received this item as a gift since I love taking pictures and HD video. All of that may in truth eat up space quickly, so I was glad I got a SDHC card.
I’ve applied a good deal of other amazon basic items like HDMI cables and other electrical cords, and they’ve all served me well, so I did not worry in regards to a amazon branded SDHC card. For all I know, they’re in all probability made on the same assemblage line as a huge brand name card like SanDisk or PNY.
Write speeds, they’re quick. My old camera used to make me wait 2-3 seconds after taking a photo, and waiting for it to write on my old old SanDisk 2GB SD card. Now after using this, instantly, I may shoot more photos and videos without requiring to wait for it to write to the card.
Read speeds are pretty quick, all my pictures and videos showed up within seconds. My old Sandisk would make me sit there for a minute or two while it read each effigy and formulated preview icons for them in windows.
I highly commend it to anybody who’s into photography or just likes to shoot tons of videos/photos. I tend to copy everything and save it on my computer when the card starts to get full, but if you’re the type of person who saves it all on SD cards for a long time, you might opt to get a 8 or 16GB card instead.

For my purposes this is fine
By AlexJouJou
I need a memory card for my digital camera. I’m not a professional photographer or anything. Just like taking pics of the kids and life in general. This does just fine. I don’t detect any divergence among this and the SanDisk card I had already. I haven’t had any issues or problems. In general I like the amazon fundamentals – sort of like buying generic in a grocery store. Every once in a while the brand name is better but most of the time the generic works out splendidly. I love amazon feeling of annoyance at being hindered or criticized free packaging – you don’t think this makes a divergence but when you are attempting to get the card in quickly because you need to commence snapping shots right away – well each little bit helps!
