I have a Nikon D5100 digital camera. Has someone recently bought/used the 64GB SDXC Class 10 IF3C flash memory card? What is the real write/read speed? Pros &amp; Cons? Thank you. Tim

Jessica Johnson wrote in an amazon review..... I bought this item because it is a class 10 and I thought that meant it could handle shooting HD video. Product arrived quickly and works great on my Canon 60D for photos, but NOT VIDEO! I came back to review the specs and couldn't find the read/write speed on the product information page so I contacted the seller. Turns out the write speed is only 10 mb/s (not fast enough for HD video). Yes I will keep the card, yes it works great for photos and arrived quickly without issue, yes its a huge amount of data and I'll never need to change the card as long as I"m just shooting photos or 10 second videos, HOWEVER, I am giving only 4 stars because it does not say anywhere on the product description what the read/write speed is (nor does it say it anywhere on the card or packaging that came with it) and this is crucial information. My Panasonic cameras are real finicky and the write speed is the critical number. Video sends a lot of data to be written, and if it cant keep up, you have problems! I am using Panasonic SDHC 10 gold which read at 90 mb/s and write speed of 25 mb/s

I did a lot of research and reviewing and determined the best was the latest high speed versions, specifically this one at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007ADFTUG/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . I am happy to say the choice was on the money as this card is amazingly fast, and greatly improves the use and experience with this camera. Hopefully this helpful, good luck!

check out the manual, its doing both (charging flash and writing cached buffer on the memory), meaning i may well need an external (ohh gooding!!!! more stuff for my camera) so for such a case, what external flash unit would you recommend, cause i've been looking at the at different ones, and the one that fits my needs the best according to what i've seen is the 430EX II by canon, what your insight is it to much to little?

What compact flash card did you use? Will the camera take advantage of the high speed in the newer CF cards?

Write speeds for this card are a bit cryptic. As you said, they are not published by Lexar leaving only unofficial 3rd party speed tests. I can say that I use this card in a Canon EOS 7D without any problems.Beyond this bit of information, I can only quote Lexar's published read speeds of a minium of 150MB/s (or faster). Also this card can capture video streams at up to 20MB/s. Lexar Professional 1000x: http://www.lexar.com/products/lexar-professional-1000x-compactflash-card

I got the SAMSUNG MicroSDXC™ 64GB PRO Class 10 UHS-I Card for the fast read/write speed (70/20mbs). Search for best price!

I had the same question so I spoke with a Canon rep today. He recommended SanDisk but noted that the sd780is only writes up to 18-19 MB/sec. So it's essentially a waste of money to purchase a card that writes any faster than 20 MB/sec. Check this one out: Sandisk 8GB EXTREME SDHC SD Card Class 6 (SDSDX3-8192 Bulk Package) However, faster cards are likely to write and read faster through a card reader or on your computer.

This camera has 2 slots for cards. One is an XD card and the other is one of the larger CF cards. I can not find anything that mentions card speed. When I purchased the current cards the number that is found on the SD cards wasn't on any if the CF cards or XD cards that I looked at.

I ordered a Transcend 32 GB Class 10 SDHC Flash Memory Card, when I purchased my camera. It is in my camera and I have used it to take pictures. Works fine. No problems. It's a great camera and I hope this helps you.

I think its the fastest CF card you can get, its 800 Mbs per second. whereas Sandisks are only a fraction of this speed

From Sandisk's website for the Extreme Pro:write speeds up to 90 MB/s** (600X) and read speeds up to 95 MB/s** (633X) . The caveat and double asterisk is that the speed may be limited by your camera. They work just fine in full-frame professional DSLRs.Extreme Pro are much faster than Extreme cards. It varies by specific card by the rated speeds may be 1.5 to 2.0 times faster. You can see the specs on Sandisk's website. Their website also has a device-recommendation tool where you can get a recommendation for your camera or other device.

This is both the correct type of card (compact flash) and the correct write speed (~90Mb/s) for all potential photographic and videographic applications of the Canon 5D Mark III. It is even possible to record RAW video files with this camera and Magic Lantern firmware, using a card of this speed.

Hey, i just purchased the Nikon D60... i am thinking about exchanging it for the XTI for the same reason. the time to for the flash to "refresh" really makes it hard to catch the moment when flash is needed. Are you stil happy with your exchange? Can anyone comment on the reasons for the substantially slower flash in the Nikon D60 when compared to the canon XTI? Also, i heard that the Canon XTI is being taken out of the market and only the XSi will remain... is that true?

neither of these cards are that fast in RAW mode, you need the SDHC card to get faster RAW cycling time. This has everything to do with the read/write speed of the card you use. The fast cards need to be read through an adapter on your USB connection or by hooking the camera up(with the card in it) with the cable supplied with he camera.

I got a 16GB Class 6 Sandisk card before our vacation to Europe. On a bicycle ride around a lake the camera would stop midstream in a video shoot and said something like "the data stream is too fast for the card". I was shooting in the highest HD mode. It happened several times so high speed action (a lot of data) is too fast for a Class 6. Buy a faster card. I wish I had.

I have been using the Sandisk Ultra SDHC Class 4 8GB and it worked fine, but it takes a couple seconds for it to record the picture after I have taken it. I just bought the Sandisk Ultra SDHC Class 6 8GB and the camera says that it is not formatted. It does not work for some reason. Both the cards are exactly the same, except my newer card is Class 6. Does anyone know the problem or have the same one?
