I think its great that you are testing but your test results don't hold much credibility when you just write 'Good'.
What would be great is if you could go into detail as to how you went about your test, whether you filled the card to capacity and how many times you filled the card to capacity.
Were you just pointing it at a blank wall ? or were you filming colourful movement that keeps the bitrate high. etc

For example I posted about my testing with a Sandisk 8gig class 4 and I went into detail here link

Looking forward to hearing more about your tests. Keep it up!

True. I should have explained my testing procedures. Lots of camera movement, so yeah, lots of data to compress and write to the card. I did not try and max out a clip (12 mins or whatever it is). These were several minutes each. I figured that was enough to know. The pqi fails fairly quickly. Basically this was a quick test, seeing how my existing cards would do, and I figured the results might be useful to others.
Maybe I'll try maxing out the cards, next time I get a chance.
