For normal photo-taking, does Class 6 help with burst mode only, or is Class 4 sufficient (I've seen them rated for video use at Class 4)? I know the classes denote the transfer speed:
Class 2 = 2MB/sec
Class 4 = 4MB/sec
Class 6 = 6MB/sec
I'm just not sure how that translates to real world performance if digital cameras need to write large files (over 8 megapixels). Of course, the reason I ask is because Fry's usually has the micro-SDHC cards for sale (with SD adapter for use in normal SD slot if need be), but they seem to only be rated Class 4, and I was thinking if I got the micro-SDHC card (Class 4), I could also use it in my blackberry for data-storage in pinch.
