Looking at buying a HD camcorder that uses SDHC memory cards but I know very little about these
cards. What class should I be buying and where is a good place to purchase these from.

P.S. I am looking to get 32g ones.

Cheers

Buy branded (for example Sandisk, Lexar) and from a reputable supplier smile

They are given clasifications for speed, from Class 2 (2mb/sec) to Class 6 (6mb/sec and above) although are well off the speed of CF cards AFAIK.

got a 16 gb card for fuji dslr, works pretty well, something like 30k pictures or a few hours of movies

think it is sandisk, the cost between getting the real thing and a cheap copy is not that great

As mentioned, make sure you pay the right price. Cheap alternatives are fake.
I use Sandisk cards from Pixmania.com
