Kingston SD cards are OK, I have used them before with no problems. If you are buying them because they are cheap then you have to be careful that you are not buying a fake card. Buy only from a reputable camera dealer.

Genuine Kingston cards are fine in terms of functionality and reliability. I have, however, found them to have slower speeds than comparably spec'd SanDisc products.

Re: kingston memory

would there be any use of using a faster card in slow camera which does not go beyond class 10. Would a class 10 card be enough for full HD video or do we need faster speed.

Recommend using Sandisk Extreme Pro cards for everything.  Cards are very inexpensive nowadays.  The Sandisk Extreme Pro is the best.

I have an older class 10 card that will not do 1080P video in my SL2. I use it in my PowerShot G11. My advice is to check your owner's manual about cards including class, IHS and V rating and make that the MINIMUM specs you buy.

Certainly these cards would work:

Kingston Canvas React 32GB SDHC Class 10 SD Memory Card UHS-I 100MB/s R Flash Memory High Speed SD Card (SDR/32GB)

SanDisk 32GB Extreme SDHC UHS-I Memory Card - 90MB/s, C10, U3, V30, 4K UHD, SD Card - SDSDXVE-032G-GNCIN

(Couldn't get links to work)

I use the SanDisk and it has worked fine in my SL1 and the SL2 I replaced it with.

They are between 11 and 13 dollars on Amazon.  SD cards have really gotten inexpensive through the years.

Hope this helps.
