I suspect the cards work OK in cameras because the usage patterns, e.g. they don't write to the cards if the batteries are too low to complete the write and they don't shut off in the middle of a write.
I use these cards in a Raspberry Pi that is used to control some equipment. Most of the cards failed because of heavy write traffic, e.g. while doing an ArchLinux operating system update or by being powered down in the middle of a write. So far I haven't had any problems with a SanDisk Extreme SDHC UHS-1 card (8 GB) in my application but the Class 2 cards were junk.
