1.0 out of 5 stars Caution! Not up to par!, May 29, 2009

I recently purchased a JVC GY-HM100U camcorder, which requires a class 6 SDHC card. I purchased five of the Centon class 6 cards to use in my camera. The camera does a speed check on the card to make sure it can handle high data rates.

They did not work. With the exception of one of the five cards, all of the rest were rejected by the camera as being too slow. These cards do not, for the most part, achieve class 6 speeds.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a true "class 6" card, June 7, 2010

Just dropped this in to my Canon T2i -- I'm usually able to snap off about 20 shots at full speed with 18mpx photos on a decent 16gb class 4. I was consistently only able to get off 12 before the buffer was full and it started to drag with the Centon. I just benchmarked my card in XBench and my class 4 card scored a 1.69 which is expected for a class 4 card. The Centon on the other hand scored a paltry 0.90 -- pretty sad really that the class 4 scored almost twice as high.

Sustained write speeds on this card are only ~6.3 MB/s with a 4k block size. To give you an idea of how slow that is, the T2i can shoot 3.7fps continuous... at 18mpx that's 28MB/s that need to be written out to the card.

Don't use this card for anything you need actual class 6 speeds (sports/action photography or video). Would be fine for a point and shoot though (which is where mine is headed).

Works fine in my camera been using for a few months now. Wish i had waited and got the 32GB as that is the same price now as I paid for the 16GB a few months back.
