This whole SDHC issue confuses me. At the moment I use a Transcend 2Gb
150x card on my DS. Although the camera doesn't use all the speed, the
card reader does when downloading. I am now thinking of moving to SDHC
and 4gb for when I get the K10d or start shooting more RAW. This is
the choice in the UK from a reputable dealer

Transcend Secure Digital/SD Card
4GB Card (150x)

Up to 13.4MB/sec. write rate.
 Up to 18.7MB/sec. read rate.

OR

Transcend High Capacity Secure Digital/SD Card (SDHC)
4GB Card (Class 6)

 Speed class 6 (>= 6MB/sec writing),

They are about the same price but the SDHC one appears to be a lot slower.

Is SDHC an engineering breakthrough or a marketing breakthrough
whereby slower cards with much higher profit margins can be sold to
the gullible punter?
