You only need a class 4 card, so any class 6 SHOULD work, that being said, I have never tried them.
For the same price I use Transcend cards, and they sell like life jackets in a flood :Drogar-Evil(DBG):
 
The only danger for cheap cards is the potential for a high failure rate. In general, many of the cheap cards fail within the first 6 times you use the card. It's still possible to fail after that, but it's less likely.

If you are willing to record junk to the card, examine, and re-format six times. IF it does not fail after the sixth time, it is likely to be OK. Remember, the key word is likely, you are never going to be 100% sure. However, the more you use the card without problems, the less likely you will ever have a problem within the life of the card.

FYI guys, RIDATA has been making SD cards since the beginning and I have several that have performed flawlessly with my still camera for at least 4 years. I think the only issue here is whether it will be fast enough. I guess the class is supposed to be a definitive answer to that but I am skeptical as any cards ratings and claimed speeds until I test it at home.

I didn't know this price was already reached by an other good company. I thought I had found a big price drop and was helping people out with the link. :)
 
I use Ridata cf cards (8GB 266x) with my Canon DSLR, and have not had any card-related issues. I think its an OK brand. I use Patriot brand SDHC class 6 16GB cards that I got at Frys on sale for $30 each, not the cheapest cards but not too bad price-wise. No issues at all when using them.
 
Memorex has making blank DVDs for years as well, and has a recognizable name.

Many, many people would never use them because of the poor quality control.

You only get one chance to shoot video -- especially event video.

I prefer using the best quality cards I can find -- in this the Panasonic cards.

That's what I suggest.
 
I second what David S. wrote. I just can't imagine spending three thousand on your camera and then getting stingy on SDHC cards. A bad card makes your camera useless.

I use the SanDisk Extreme 3, 16 gb cards -- have never had a single problem in nearly eighty hours of HMC test shooting -- and can't place a value on the time these cards have saved me in writing to the computer.
