Minimum spec for class 10 is 10MB/s (both read and write) Really high-speed cards will have UHS ratings, but your camera needs to have UHS support to really take advantage of that.

Not the fastest, but in for 1 anyhow. Always handy to have them for P&S even if they'd slow down a DSLR shooting RAW.

It's a class 10 card. It's fast but not as fast as SanDisk Ultra..

SanDisk Ultra has about the same write speed as the Sony. SanDisk Extreme is faster.

I just realized after I bought 2 seems low speeds.Many other manufacturers' Class 10 cards have significantly better write performance, typically in the range of 15-18 MBps. This Sorny card isn't the best for capturing burst shots with high end cameras. Sandisk used to all be above 18MBps write speed, but they've recently introduced a bottom-of-the-barrel card that only gets 11MBps writes.
I figure I use one as a backup as opposed to a USB drive; I don't like having to plug/unplug those thumb drives. I can keep the SD card in my laptop all the time. Am I missing any disadvantages here?

Is this ideal for the Canon HD Camcorder from FW deal a month ago?

Interesting that you should mention this. Just this morning I was researching a similar idea of using one in conjunction with Win 8 File History. Since I don't use much of my hard disk the capacity should not be an issue. After looking around a bit the only downside I have found so far seems to be a somewhat higher failure potential. We don't want to depend on it as our sole backup media but the same thing would go for a USB.
ETA: USB 2.0 480 Mbit/s vs. Read Speed 22 MB/s max. Write Speed10 MB/s min might also be a consideration.

ETA - Canon manual says you can use Class 4, 6, or 10 (see page 36).
