Hi,
I want to upgrade my memory card from 1 GB to 16GB. But when I searched for the same, I saw there are various SDHC memory cards from different CLASS.What is the meaning of the CLASS in memory card?

U can take class as max writing speed like
Class 4 have 4 MB/s
Class 10 have 10MB/s writing speed....

reading speed can be much more than this like 25MB/s or so

If u want a camera memory card then get Sandisc Extreme 8GB class 10 card or 16 GB card as per ur budget
if budget is lower get sandisc ultra series class 6 cards....i am using those

As 'sujoyp ' mentioned the class decide the writing and reading speed of the memory card, class 4 and 6 are good enough for general purpose.
