Hi Folks,

I just bought a 64GB SanDisk Extreme PRO with speed of up to 95MB /S for my Nikon D5500, but before I actually use it, I tested the speed on my Mac, it gave me about 60MB /S Write, and about 89 MB /S Read.

So what do you use for your camera?

Thanks

I have a dozen16GB cards of all different brands... they're cheap enough ($10 or less when Amazon has a sale) to have multiples, plus they force me to NOT keep everything on one card or rely on one card too much. So I rotate through... I buy whatever's fastest... the old ones I use in my P&S (waterproof camera), Raspberry Pis, MP3 players, or simply to give digital stuff to family and friends without concern over losing anything.

I have 4 16 GB SanDisc Ultra cards that I use with my Nikon D90. I use them because I got them on sale for $8.00 each at a local camera stores going out of business sale. The only reason I only got 4 of them was that was all they had left.

I use WiFi SD Cards: Eyefi Memory Cards: Wireless Photo and Video Uploads from your Camera to your Computer & the Web | Eyefi since my DSLR does not have wi-fi capability.

I've been buying SD cards for various cameras and family members for over 10 years. I've never bought any over 16 GB. That's about all I remember right now...

In doing some research I did find this interesting and informative article: The best SanDisk SD card for your digital camera | Pretzel Logix

I have a d610 and shoot raw but I also only use 16GB >120MB/s cards. Usually the lexar pro but I also have some Sony. Don't care about the brand too much though only the speed. The only 32g Cards I tried all corrupted after a few uses (2diff brands) so I decided to stick to smaller ones. Never had a problem or ran out of space even shooting in Yellowstone all day (just transferred to the comp every night).
