REmember, it does not matter how fast the card, you also have tot ake
into account how fast the casmera can write to the card. Example; if
you camera can only write at 8x speed, you will never get the full
advantage of the 12x speed. Crude example but sometimes simple is
better.
Also, the speeds take into reading and writing to and from the card and
your pc.
I am not an expert, just my .02.
