I have a 2010 MBP 15" with a SDHC slot and reader. My cheap Promaster 16 G SDHC card is somewhat hard to insert and doesn't always get recognized by the MBP reader, in which case I have to remove it and re-insert it. I want to buy at least one new 16 G class 10 SDHC card and perhaps one 8 G class 10 card. Has anyone else had this "sticking" problem and if so, can you suggest good cards that do not "stick" in the SDHC slot? The camera in question is a Canon 60D, and the highest demand card use is for high burst rate RAW stills. (Birds in flight)
 
Cheap is the keyword here. It seems that their card may not be built to specs., get rid of them before you end up with a repair because the card will not come out or you damage the internals of the card slot. Most popular card is SanDisk, Lexar with PNY/Kingston coming in at the bottom. I know someone who bought a Walgreens card. He gets his cards while waiting for his Vicodin Rx:)

Maybe it's a connection thing. I use a Dana_Elec Class 10 16 gb sd card for one of my cameras and a Sandisk Extreme III Class 6 4 gb card for another and none of them sticks. I also have a Kingston sd card with no probs. Kingston has pretty good reputation and have decent prices on their sdhc cards..

Hope this helps.
