When I bought my Nikon D90 I got a recommended SDHC card for it, a SanDisk Extreme III 30MB/s SDHC 4GB card.

I want to get a 16GB card, but I'm confused now as there's so many different options? Class 6, Class 10, UHS-I, 45MB/s, 95MB/s etc etc...

If I'm correct this new UHS-I is relevent/supported on my D90 anyway?

Basically can someone give me an idea of what SDHC would be the ideal one to get? eg: A Sandisk xxxxxxx?
 
personally i use scandisk extreme class 6 8gb card. from what i read scandisk seams to be the perferred choice of card as long as it class 6 or above as that is need for writing raw files to it. many forum i've visited, people have written how they used different brands and had problems with them but when they used the scandisk extreme they say it the most reliaible card they used and they stick to buying that brand.

Seems the only 16gb Sandisk card I can get is the "SanDisk Secure Digital High Capacity Card Extreme Video HD 16GB Class 10" for just over a tenner!? It's listed as 45MB/s.

What concerns me is next to the SDHC on the label is an "I". Wondering if this implies some new tech which the D90 doesn't employ!?
