Transcend 16GB Class 10 SD. Works great. GoPro uses a standard SD, not a micro SD card (unless you plan on using an adapter)

16 GB Kingstone Class 4. Class 4 is enough for that kind of usage. No need for Class 6 or 10.

I would get a class 6 minimum. The higher the class of card, the quicker you're transfers will be from card to computer. 16 gb should be fine, I don't think brand really matters.

I only paid $27 for the Class 10 , 16gb so I figured I could use it in b/w my GoPro HD and Point and shoot Canon.

I use some older class 6 sandisk cards, some newer class 10 ones, and a new uhs-1 card. As long as you get a class 6 or up, you should be fine. I prefer sandisk cards (no real reason, I've just been using them in my nikon dslr for a while now).

I use a 32GB class 10, I think. I always buy sd cards through slickdeals, so I have about 3 16GB and a 32GB, all class 6 or 10.

I was using a SanDisk 16GB class 4 but when I tried recording for more than an hour it stopped at about 30 mins and started recording again so I'm not sure if the card couldn't handle writing that much or if it was some setting I don't know about. I recently just purchased a two-pack SanDisk 16GB class 10 from slickdeals so we'll see how it goes!

Personally I think the 32GB is an overkill because you will run out of battery before you even come close to using 32GB unless you have it connected to a power source or use the nifty little battery back-pac.
