A suggestion if I may add, is perhaps to try and go to camera stores, like J&R on Park Row, 17th Street Photo, Adorama, B&H, etc etc to name a few.

 

Perhaps see what each store has to offer and maybe compare prices. And stores like those are glad to help you find what you're looking for. I usually do my camera and accessory shopping from J&R and most of the folks there are great, some know their stuff, and I usually find what I'm looking for.

 

Cant go wrong with J&R P. I buy my stuff from there but I also do buy somethings from B&H. J&R have some great ppl there.

I'm looking to buy a new SD/SDHC card for my T1i. I've tried shooting in 1080p and I can only record for about 18 seconds.

 

The card I currently have is:

Gigware

8 GB

Class 2

 

From my research, it looks like I need a Class 6 or 10. I think that I'm going to use this card for only video.

 

Thanks in advance!

Thanks. Any reason you didn't recommend a Class 10?

 

Class 10 is just a gimmick. I have a Class 2 SD card that operates at class 10 speeds. And besides, I don't think any camera can properly utilize the 10 in Class 10 anyway.

better off just buying a new one, they are really cheap and plug straight into your usb port

Thanks, but I still don't get what I need this for. I can just transfer images/videos from my camera to my computer via the cord the came with the camera.

For that price range expect to look at the "advanced" point-and-shoot cameras. They're usually in between point-and-shoots and DSLRs with manual settings, a smaller sensor and a lens you won't be able to change. For night/low light shots all you need is a slow shutter speed. I don't know if advanced point-and-shoots let you play around with aperture settings.
