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 & Cons? Thank you. Tim

Iam not sure about rewrite speeds of the card. I bought it for a HD Sony camcorder to use as a storage medium and it has worked very well. No problems. I recommend this product. Sorry can't directly answer your question, I am not so tech savvy.

FYI class 10 means 10Mb per second, that's megabytes per second not to be confused with Mbps or megabits. 10Mb per second = 12.5Mbps. On a D5100 the max bitrate is 18mbps, or 2.25Mb well under the 10Mb/s

this write speed is "normal" with all my sandisk ultra cards with all usb 2.0 devices. Tested in pc (h2testw) i can never get even close to class 10 write speed. Don't know what high end slr cameras or tablets are compatible with "Ultra" speed and don't care. Save your money and get a regular c10 card.

To add to what Neeraj Prabhu said.Class 10 labeling dose not apply to USB flash drives. Class 10 SD cards speeds 10MB/s. With my PNY Turbo I have seen write speeds above 100 MB/s. It's more than 10x as fast.

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.

Class 6 & up, is likely what they meant. (Unless either he didn't really kno they have a new Class out now, or you mentioned Class 10 & he wasn't sure what it meant) The lower the "Class", the "slower" the card; this is probably most noticeable between shots when you're waiting for the camera to return to "ready to shoot" OR when you want to quickly review the pics you've just taken/ last shot, & they take forever to come up or scroll thru. Class 10 is considered better & faster because it is supposed to be, and the best brands are usually Transcend & SanDisk, but everyone's preference varies depending on experience, so if you prefer, just buy whatever is most affordable in the meantime until you can work your way up to something more expensive, more roomy, more faster &/or more quality. Oh, and also, the amount of speed you'd want in a card (and camera) really depends on the main usage for your camera, ie do you want to be able to shoot lots of HD footage? (HD, being heavier than regular video becuz of its high quality, works best on faster cards) Or will you just be taking mostly pictures & if using video, they'll just be casual things going straight to YouTube/ etc? If the latter, a Class 6 is perfectly fine. It's been the leading Class for quite a few years now, so some slower cards (Class 2 or 4) still exist; it's best to avoid those. If the former, then a Class 10 is indeed the best choice, as it is the latest advancement in the speeds of digital storage cards. Hope this helps! xoxoxo

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.

1) I'm using 16 gb class 10 I bought the card before I read the manual so I decided to use it anyway even after I saw they claim that class 10 is too fast for this cam . 2)my card doesn't interfere with the built in memory it's a setting you could set which memory you wanna use card or built in . 3)the sticker comes in black but I wanted to be able to remove it so I cut out a small piece of Velcro and used that instead

Hard to recall exactly, but I think it has more to do with the Type of XD Card. To speed up write speeds, Olympus & Fuji came out with an M+ type which is likely incompatible with your camera. Seem to recall that there were 1GB 'normal' cards and 1GB M+ cards. Given this, you're likely safe with anything 512mb and lower. Cheers and I'd strongly encourage a more modern camera. The advances since this camera can be measure in light years. --Rich

I got this one on amazon. Has been working fine with no issues for several months now:SanDisk Ultra 32GB MicroSDHC Class 10 UHS Memory Card Speed Up To 30MB/s With Adapter, Frustration-Free Packaging - SDSDQU-032G-AFFP-A [Old Version]

Thank you all for your prompt answers. I actually tried the Kingston Technology 128 GB Secure Digital Extended Capacity (SDXC) Class 10 Memory Card and it worked! I hope that our dialogue has been beneficial to all. God bless!

Hi Les and other fellow FZ-28/35 fans. I am a happy owner of an FZ35 which I bought last October, and its been around the world. Love the camera! Bought another one last week (B&H;) for a family member and it came with an 8GB Transcend. A perfectly fine SD card, but here's my question: will a SanDisk Extreme III Class 10 card (capable of 30MB/s read/write speeds) actually work any faster on the FZ35 than a Class 6 card? Specifically, will it write any faster (to the FZ35 specifically) and thus reduce shutter lag time? Any other cards that will work faster/fastest?Thanks!

This thing is very fast never had a read issue. I think it would be more dependent on the speed class of the SD card. The USB speed on this thing blows my mind!

SanDisk SDCFX3-2048-901 2 GB Extreme III CompactFlash Card is the recommended choice. You can find this card selling in the $20 - $30 price range. The camera will not read anything larger than 2 GB. As for the reader i have the ULTRA PRODUCTS 22-in-1 Media Card Reader 31803 which sells in the $20 price range. Both of these products can be found on Amazon.com.

It supports SD, SDHC, SDXC. (Technically also, I think Memory Stick Duo?)SDXC will give you the largest amount of storage space, I believe.Class 8-10+ memory cards will have faster write speeds to save more pictures more quickly or perform better saving video.So, something like this:PNY Elite Performance 64GB High Speed SDXC Class 10 UHS-I, U1 Up to 90MB/sec Flash Card - P-SDX64U1H-GEOr like this:Sandisk Ultra 128 GB Secure Digital Extended Capacity (SDXC) - 1 Card SDSDU-128G-A46Either should perform flawlessly, I'd think, and give you tons of space for shooting high resolution pictures or video, etc. It supports SD, SDHC, SDXC.

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.

Hi I am not a Nikon user, but here is a link for your cameras with approved cards https://support.nikonusa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/17636/~/approved-memory-cards---d700 it says you could use up to 64GB as long you have the latest camera firmware ( I am sure you will find a link on the Nikon site how to check if you have the latest firmware and on how to install the latest firmware.
