I have always used the Lexar brand of SD Card. They have never failed me and I always feel confident in photographing weddings with them.
The read speed is fast and allows me to have a larger buffer run on my camera, especially when you need a quick burst of photos.
I always use these cards as they have never let me down. Fast to record images, still and video. Competitively priced, known company and just get on with the job in hand.
I’m going on a long holiday later this year and thought I might benefit from a bigger SD card for my camera. This one attracted my attention as it was on offer and from a well known manufacturer.
I have used it for wildlife photography several times already but last weekend I used it at an air show where I took more than 2000 images, shooting sequences of 5-10 images, and it worked flawlessly. Image files are transferred from the camera to my PC very quickly with a constant transfer rate and no slowing down
One problem I did experience at the air show is that the second card in my camera (64GB) filled up and I had to fit a spare to continue. The solution – buy another of these so I now have two 🙂
I use this card in my micro four thirds camera (G90). Recording 4K video is a breeze. No trouble at all.
What’s to say about a memory card?
Well, there’s lots of memory for not much money. Splendid!
Superbly stable cards, great value, these cards are great value.
This works well with a Sony AR7ii. There is no need for a faster card because it won’t be any faster due to the speed of the camera SD slot in the AR7ii . Save money and buy this if you have a AR7ii
This is fine. Does what it is supposed to do. How it will fare over time – only time will tell!
Good price and quality, used for 4k recording and working well, high speed memory card.
Packaged well and arrived in good time. Why pay a higher price when this card is Excellent.
I highly recommend the Lexar Professional line of memory cards to anyone in need of reliable and high-performance storage for their digital media. They are an excellent investment for anyone who takes their work seriously and wants the peace of mind that comes with using top-quality equipment.
Perfect for use in my camcorder, allowing all the film I want to capture to be done reliably
This was a great price and the speed it writes is great use my camera is on raw style and fast mode for action shots as cover football and rugby games and never lets me down I’d purchase again for sure great purchase
Works perfectly for 4K videos. Handles extended use without any issues. No complaints from the camera or the PC. USB transfer fast.
Will get full speed but only with a good quality USB reader plugged into a decent USB 3.1 port.
As photographer I’ve been using Lexar Pro cards and readers for years, still have my first CF card from them and it still works as well as the first day.
It’s incredible you can get a 128GB Professional card for this price now, and I need to stress the word Professional, it’s fast, reliable and dependable, everything I need as a photographer. Will be buying again for sure!
Using Lexar Pro SD cards, this is a fast way to transfer your files.
I can not comment on other SD card brands.
Transfer rates are much faster than the inbuilt SD Card reader in most laptops, and also faster than direct connecting the camera from the USB C port to the computers USB C (at least in case of the Fuji X-T3)
The reader was supplied with a removable USB A to USB C cable, I use it with a high quality USB C to USB C (for ease)
New R7 camera. and was recommended these for better speeds, as yet haven’t really put these to the test either 4K video or RAW photos, put a few dozen shots and a short video, through and uploaded them to the laptop, Didnt really pay attention to upload speeds, but no buffering on JPEG high speed continuous.
Well, I never thought that I would fall in love with a card reader/writer, but this is good. It writes a little faster than my reputable-name micro SD USB 3.0 writer, but not as much as I had hoped.
But it is a good solid build and the flashing lights are useful.
The best thing though is it’s solidity – if any of your cards run hot, the unit dissipates the heat somewhat. That means there is one less thing to worry about.
Personally the price wasn’t a problem, but although it is only a 3 in 1 reader over a 7 in one – I’d rather have 3 working so I would definitely recommend this produc
It is fast and Lexar is a very well known and trusted brand in photographic community. I particularly love that the base has a good weight to it so it stays where you put it unlike the plasticy cheaper version that get dragged by USB cable. I can insert and eject card with on hand as it is very sturdy.
Money well spent.
Amazon do list some fakes and I was sure this must be one of them cos it’s too cheap. So I did some research and realised this SD card is real. Reading between the lines (no write speed listed) I knew it must be slow to write but (a) my laptop’s SD slot is effectively usb2 so is slow anyway and (b) I permanently moved video from the laptop onto this card (and backed up) so once it was done, even if it took half the day, it’s done. For my purposes this card was ideal and insanely cheap. So rest assured, it’s no fake, it is 1TB but it’s slower than most modern SD cards. If you need a fast writing card it may not work for you (it copied around 25 thingys per second) but for everyone else, it’ll work.
Read speed is almost the same an average of 94MB/s, the write speed was doubled with LeXar which expected and was constant at an average of almost 90MB/s which is not bad.. But of course is not as claimed on the package from the manufacturer which is up to 250 MB/s for read, but it is close enough to the write speed (94MB/s to 120 MB/s).
In conclusion this is a good SD card for cameras (Videography) and will not let you down based on the above tests, made in Taiwan and durable. I highly recommend it given its low cost. I would like to test the V90 2000x and see the performance and differences, but it’s expensive for me… I hope this review to be helpful.
These Lexar cards that are UHSII seem to have more delicate contact dividers than some other brands. Its not a big problem as long as the issue is caught in time and the detaching divider is trimmed off before it causes a jam or whatever mischief it might be capable of if it broke off in the camera. I’ve studied other brand’s cards and they seem to have no similar issue. Don’t get me wrong, of the two I use, one has had this issue, but of four other brands, none. It doesn’t impair function as long as it is sorted in a timely fashion. It is a commodity so I buy the cheapest big brand card with similar speed and capacity, so if the price was right I’d probably buy another Lexar.
The advertised write speed of this card is 120MB/s. The above recording format(s) apparently needs 150MB/s, but my Panasonic shoots flawlessly.
I’ve seen other Panasonic users complaining here that the card won’t work for them. I had a theory that there was something different in how the S1H recorded/cached information as these people seem to be GH5 owners, but other GH5 owners say they have absolutely no problems – so I have no idea what’s going on.
Seeing as I’m able to shoot in such good quality on such a (relatively) cheap card I can’t see the benefit of paying a premium for a faster card and the ability to shoot in ALL-Intra 400Mbps, when the perceptible difference is negligible. The 4K Shooters website has a good article comparing the 2 formats. When I want to upgrade I’ll be putting the money towards something actually meaningful like being able to shoot in RAW on the Atomos Ninja.
In case you’re interested, you can shoot at this format for over 180 minutes on an empty card. I’m very impressed and looking forward to working with it properly over the summer.
