I'm looking for a fast 8GB SD card. I've got my eye on the Sandisk Extreme 8GB Class 10 SDHC card.

But, Amazon lists 2 different model numbers:


SDSDX3-008G-A31
- Link 1
SDSDX3-008G-P31 - Link 2

Both are listed as Class 10, 30MB/s

BUT, if you Google those model numbers... sometimes a site will show the old Extreme III card, which is a Class 6 card... like this: Link 3

So... I'm a bit confused as to which card to get. Amazon wins because of price... But the 2 different model numbers confuse me... A31 and P31

But, the existence of the older Class 6 cards using the same model number scares me too.

Any thoughts? I want a 30MB/s card... does Class 6 or Class 10 matter? Should I try my luck with one of those Amazon cards?

Both are through "Digital Media Source". You might want to email them and find out if their stock is all Class 10, or not.
 
I found some more Amazon funniness. Here, Amazon lists a Class 10 card with a Class 6 picture.

But, if you reload the same exact page... sometimes it changes to another product... that does show a Class 10 picture:

So far today, I've seen 4 different sellers of this product on Amazon, all with different prices. I guess you can keep refreshing the page until you get the price you want. :)
 
I bet they have one or more servers that the picture hasn't been updated on.
