I know little about which class etc and how much they 'should' cost but i need a 32gb card for the incar camera I am buying and this eemsgood for a tenner as itd from a uk seller who offers a refund if its duff.

Is this a standard kind of price now a days or too cheap?

Any help from the tech huys would be appreciated.

Tenner is about right depending on the make?

I got one for my incar camera that I use in my work van can't go wrong with SanDisk stuff :)

It'll probably be fine, but compatibility can be a bit hit and miss with high capacity cards. Personally I'd pay an extra 5 quid for a good quality Sandisk from Amazon. Ebay is full of fakes.

Yeah watch out for fakes. They look pretty much identical, but the transfer speed will be (much) slower, and you can get really bad ones that loose data and lots of read/write errors. For something like that I'd say stick with Amazon as well.

SanDisk is the way to go as the others have said.

@Shiny bought a 32GB or possibly 16GB recently I think, maybe he can point you in the right direction.

I agree go for Amazon but make sure it is being sold by Amazon directly, not a marketplace user

I bought a 32gb sandisk extreme (more suitable for dvr than the ultra) and I think it was from mymemory.

I also bought a twin pack of 16gb sandisk ultra from pc world on a recent offer that worked out cheaper for 2 than most places were selling a single.

Actually, I think I got the 32gb ultra class 10 micro for the dvr and then 2 x 16gb extremes for the stereo.

Ultra will be fine for the dvr. Get class 10 for quickest speed.

The SanDisk Ultra 32GB Class 10 that Shiny recommended, on their Amazon:
