The best kind of cardio for fat loss is anything that tires you out and gets you sweating - that is, anything that pushes your body to its limit. However what that is depends on each person and their level of fitness. But generally, 10 minutes of jogging (or whatever it is that gets you huffing and puffing and sweating - within reason) is better for fat loss than a 2 hour walk where you don't sweat at all.

That's not to say there's anything wrong with a 2 hour walk - certainly not! Great for fitness. But if you want to see fat/weight-loss results from your cardio, you need to push it. Sorry that's probably not what you wanted to hear! lol You don't need to go for long though - short, intense workouts are best - and define 'intense' for yourself and for your level of fitness.
