not to step on your toes man.. hhaa....
Just trying to help people out!
I spent $235 on the camera, $42 on a 32gig class 10 A-data sd card from newegg.com.
The only thing, you gotta be careful with SD cards... cheap ones wont usually work at rated speeds.. They are IFFY. All pc parts are iffy... Even processors/mobo's, EVERYTHING.. Some are nearly 20-40% faster then others.. They have just have to pass a certain QC, and they are sent out the door.
The cheap SD card I got, said "class 10", but actually, most reviews said it benchmarked SLOWER then class 4, and technically wouldn't work in a go pro at 1080p or 720p@60fps.. Which both record at 15MB/s... Basically for HD, you want a card that can WRITE at 15mB/s or faster.
I got lucky with my cheap card.. You could very well order a class 4-10, and not get a card that'll work... Good thing about newegg is their return/exchange policy!
If you have a microcenter in your town, CHECK IT OUT! They are just as cheap as online stores for pc parts... Now days I drive 60 miles to buy pc parts from there.. Almost everything is as cheap as newegg or tigerdirect, and they offer inhouse warranties.. If you ever have a pc part die, and have to wait 2 weeks to send it out and get a new one, you'd then realize why driving 60 miles is a better option! (or owning multiple pc's lol)
