class 4 or higher for a camera, depending on the camera's video capability it may need a higher class, but for most 12mp stuff, class 4 should be sufficient.

Amazon do some good cards for less than ebay, and it's genuine rather than fake. Amazon are also about 1/3rd the cost of pc world/dixons etc. - Is it really "micro" ? thats normally reserved for phones, I guess if its a very compact camera though...

Samsung only guarantee that the camera will address cards up to 8gb, so don't go too mad on an expensive one.

as long as you get a genuine one a class 4 or 6 will be fine they are widely available in most large supermarkets and that is possibly a better route than buying over the net .as you know its genuine .class 10 is for the high speed dslr or high speed video cameras i.e my camera shoots at around 7 frames per second so it needs a fast card ,yours won't
