Any SDHC will work fine. The difference you will see in a class 10 card is the speed the buffer writes to memory (burst mode) and video. The differences in brand names does go a long way to reliability and not loosing precious memories, but any card can fail so thats always a crap shoot anyway.

SanDisk makes exceptionally good SDHC cards and the Extreme and Ultra lines are what most of my photo friends use in DSLRs if they go the SanDisk route. I'd buy through Amazon or similar retailer. (I'm not in the UK so can't speak to who will give you the best price.)

Avoid Jesspo's hard sell staff/tactics. SanDisk are excellent and deals are to be had on Amazon.co.uk. £50 is not necessary at this stage.
