The previous question about memory card speed prompted me to check. What I learned is that I do not understand the symbols and script on the card?

The things of importance are the size and read and write speeds.

Unless you upgrade cameras frequently go to your manual and find the read and write speeds for the camera and match the card to it.

No point in paying for size and speeds that the camera can't use.

Memory cards can be confusing. Be sure to see what your camera manual says about compatible cards.
