Can anyone tell me the fastest SD card for my Canon EOS Rebel SL1... Am finding my camera saying (busy) a lot and I wonder if that is the card speed ?

Nancy, It may be your camera. I have a Nikon D750 and have no issues. Check your camera's manual as it will have what SD cards are approved for the camera. If you don't have the manual, contact Canon customer service and they will tell you.

Hi Janiethe Canon SX50 is one of the fastest in its class. Just compare the data of the cameras that you have in your focus. It is also very remarkable that you may take 13 frames per second. That feature is fantastic when you take pictures from people, portraits or animals. It is very key that you invest in a high speed memory card (just search for the comparison charts in the web). The faster the card the faster your camera will be ready for the next shot or even the next series of chosts.have funJoerg

Personally I alway go by "you get what you pay for". I actually use the SanDisk Extreme III card. It has a 30mb/s rate, highest in its class I believe. The cards are a little on the expensive side, especially for the 16GB, but worth it I think. Because of the high compression rate, it take a while to download/transfer files, this helps with that when you have an average computer. Not an overwhelming difference, but enough to say "Awesome".

Which 8GB card are you usung? I'm wondering if the Transcend 8GB SDHC card advertised as class 6 will be fast enough when taking video with the S5 IS?

I like Sandisk as well, however I bought a Sandisk 32 GB class-10 card for this camera and it errors all the time so I don't use it. The 16 GB card (unknown class) that comes with the camera works well and I don't plan to buy another one unless this one dies.

What interface do the cameras have? Are they newer with usb3 or are they usb2? I could test with a couple dslrs at once for you. However from my experience transfers directly from the camera are slower than a good usb3 card reader.

I recommend the SanDisk Extreme Pro | SDHC UHS-I Card (95 MB/s).Maximum speed for burst shooting, fast transfers and Full HD video. I use 16 Gb.

I couldn't find the manual on CanonUSA.com so I will have to reply on memory... I believe the camera should be fine with any SDHC card (but not the SDXC cards). Since the camera doesn't have video, however, there's no need for a 32GB card or an extremely fast one. Many photographers like smaller cards - 4GB or 8GB - so that if a card should be lost or fail, you will lose less photos. As far as performance goes, the XS has a more limited write speed so a class 10 card may be overkill (though it could download faster to your PC from a card reader). In my experience, Sandisk cards have performed the best and been most reliable but be sure to buy them from a reputable dealer as there have been numerous reports of poorly performing counterfeits being sold on certain bidding sites.

I got mine T2i someplace else because Amazon was out, but they included a Transcend 8gb class 10 and I could only get 9 pictures on continuous before it slowed down. I ordered and received a Sandisk Extreme III class 10 4g from Amazon and now I can do over 40 continous(didn't bother to figure out if there is a number bigger). So if your using continuous and need get lots of frames go with the Sandisk Extreme III, for single frame anything will work.

First, check your camera's owners manual to see what type of card Canon recommends. While this card is a "Class 10" which is for video, the transfer rate is very slow (30MB per second). If you can afford it, you will want to purchase a card that writes much faster. The Sandisk Extreme writes at 45MB per second, where the Sandisk Extreme Pro writes at 95MB per second. Again, you're owners manual will tell you if the higher speed cars will work in your camera.

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.

I had the same question too, but couldn't find a definitive answer online, so I called Canon to find out for sure. They said the largest SD card that could be used in this camera was the 8GB.

I've taken a couple thousand pictures with mine since December 07. I think the problem is the image size/resolution setting. If you take every photo like you might want a huge enlargement from it, the process of recording to the card is what takes a long time. I think it's going to be slow, but I'd play around with smaller resolution etc. to find a bearable compromise.@S.K., yes it seems worst if you're using flash and stale batts.

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 bought SanDisk Extreme Pro 16GB 95MB . Also has a number 3 and a number 10 in a circle. The Extreme Pro is good if you don't want to have a long wait between flash pictures. It is fast. Make sure you get the right memory card or you will be disappointed in the camera's speed.

I have this: 30 MB/S is printed on it, pretty fast. Purchased a SanDisk Extreme 80 MB/s for my new 70D also, but cannot sense the speed difference of the two cards in the camera.
