These are very good value these days. Not sure how the picture quality is affected. however, the speed is alot better than my old one.
I have used Sandisk for years and this was an upgrade to match a new camera – the card is brilliant. The packaging and shipping was excellent and the product arrived on time.
I would recommend.
Used in a Sony a7III mirrorless camera… keeps up with 10 shot burst speed…. recommended
Just what I needed. Does what it was bought for.
Best SD card on the market…reliable…no issues…use them all the times
Use with the SanDisk USB reader for lightning fast transfers!
I keep all the pictures on them, when it’s full, store it safely, then buy another one.
I had this for sometime now and it going strong
Not much to say about the item but did it’s job
Which is better the write speed of 170 or 200 mbs ? If it’s the 200 version of this card buy the 170 mps as in the advert.. you might be lucky to be sent the 200 mps one instead as I got sent. yeah great purchase and value for the money.. as I need a high speed card.
his product does everything it should do perfectly with no hassle. Little expensive but can’t complain as it works perfectly
Just what I wanted at a pice I feel was reasonable.
It was a initially a bit to tight in my D40X SD card slot, where the exit spring would not eject it as it normally would. After about 10 insertions and thumbnail assisted extractions, it began to eject properly. It is now working fine.
I shoot photos and video on a variation of cameras, sony A7IV, Lumix S5 etc. and found that these are perfect for recording videos at long lengths and capturing raw uncompressed photos as well.
They read at 170MBS and write speed is just under 90MBS so quite fast for the price. Most DLSR or mirrorless cameras shoot video at 150mbs (18MBS), so there is plenty of speed. I have bought 4 of these and they are working great, no problems as of yet and seem to be quite reliable.
A good thing to note is to make sure that you format the cards inside the device you are planning to use them in rather than the computer.
This card is great, nice fast card for use in camera. Takes all the data as fast as my camera can throw at it. Really good price/GB/performance.
For anyone reading comments and seeing others negative reviews regarding speeds not being as advertised please note to get the maximum speed you need to be using specific compatible card readers, for anyone using generic card reader or one built into their pc/laptop you will not reach the max read speeds, the speed will be lower dependent on the speed capabilities of your card reader.
Can only use 100mb/s on PC though a card reader and USB3 slot, so the extra speed isn’t used until these things get an upgrade. I imagine in the future when that happens 64gb will be too small anyway.
Not sure if my Canon 6D uses the extra speed, since it has a buffer when using burst shooting which does slow down when it’s full. I haven’t tested against my other card which is 120mb/s but it seems around the same so it could be the write speed of the camera that is the limitation.
I have been using a few weeks now and all seems fine. Had the odd image glitch but that could be the camera since it was second hand.
The capacity and performance of the Standard Definition card is excellent. Worked fine in my Canon EOS m50 mark ii mirrorless camera.
Sorry, what was that? SD does not stand for ‘Standard Definition’? What pray tell does it stand for? Do you know? Do you care? If you do, why are you only googling it after reading this useless review? You have until the movie I’m watching (Titanic) finishes to answer me. Oh yeah, that reminds me – this SD card can sink to Adobe products on my laptop very quickly due to its fast read write speeds…sorry, what was that? It’s not spelled ‘sink’!?
SanDisk Extreme sd’s at 64gig, bought these as a pair of backup cards for a camera as the real pair of Compact Flash cards in 64gig size are now quite expensive so bought two of these and two CF adaptors.
What can you say ? Expect the usual SanDisk quality and value for money, always, high spec’s and they certainly do do what they claim. Absolutely no problem firing 8 or 9 frames-per-second in 4k (Nikon D4) always in RAW + JPG (two copies of each pic) and only really start to notice buffering after around 30/40 seconds with finger held down continually and then it’s actually not that bad in that it only starts to slow a little, maybe dropping to five to seven a second depending on lens settings iso etc. Never have had any issues with any SanDisk media ever, apart from once which was my fault being stupid and filling the USB too full and blocking it, and have always been happy with their products.
Personally, I literally always (apart from one time) buy SanDisk when it comes to SD cards or USB keys and even have their multi card reader which is spot on sporting two CF ports plus others including SD and USB….perfect if you have two CFs which need reading yet you don’t really want to have to expose your camera’s firmware to the ‘net (kind of) directly through usual USB lead connection, also great to update firmware on camera for same reasons.
SD cards have various speed ratings and other categories. Ideally you need to match the card to the capabilities of your device, for example putting a slow card into a very fast device will mean that everything is very slow. Similarly, putting a fast card into a slow device will give you none of the benefits of the fast card and will probably just cost you more money for no added benefit. The situation then gets more complicated because different manufacturers’ models of cards with similar specifications behave differently in the same device.
I was looking for an SDXC memory card for a Canon EOS 250D DSLR camera. This particular card was very well matched to the capabilities of this camera. Despite claiming to be 170 MB/s card, it actually performs at about 65.5MB/sec when recording 4K video, which is the most stressful task that the card is required to perform. Although this may seem slow, this is one of the fastest actual write speeds attainable within the EOS 250D. It is slightly out-paced by one of the Sony Professional cards, which is also available on Amazon.
This card also comes with a serial number to restore lost data (deliberately obscured in my photos) and a small, hard-shell case.
I bought 2 of these for my new and old Cannon cameras alike, one is a D1000 EOS which I have had for a number of years and the other is a D4000 EOS that I just purchased. The SD card fits without an adamper in the D4000 and works like a dream however it can not be formatted by the D1000 camera and when I put it on my PC there appears to be no way to split the disk into 2x 64GB which I believe is the maximum my D1000 can see. I will keep these and use them both on the D4000 but you should be forewarned and double check the maximum size your camera can take before you buy one of these. As for the value I dropped 1 star because these are just over the 4to1 ratio (4x<=>GB’s) that I use for all Memeory purchases however given that this is Branded memory I can overlook that small issue.
I recently decided to but a Sony FDR-AX700 Handycam, so I can shoot 4K videos to show on out 4K TV, but to do that you need a good quality and fast SD card, and as the Handycam take to card I bought a pair of these purely for that purpose.
Yes, you can get slower speed ones that are cheaper that ‘might’ do the job, but I didn’t want to take that chance.
Also you can go ‘over the top’ and buy more expensive ones but why spend unnecessary money when these will do the job perfectly well.
After a few shoots I am well impressed with these cards, and I will be buying a couple of these cards in a higher capacity (256GB), so I have 2 in use and 2 as standbys.
I have used SanDisk Memory cards and USB sticks over many years and never had one fail.. that says it all really !
After having trouble getting Transcend cards with the advertised capacity (many of them seem to be 120 GB/60 GB instead of 128 GB/64 GB despite being sold as such) I just waited for a SanDisk card to go on offer. I was originally going to just get the Extreme, but when the Extreme PRO goes down to a lower price than the former you haven’t really got anything to lose!
Card arrived promptly. My only gripe with the packaging is that there doesn’t appear to be a simple way into the outer cardboard box: perforations would be nice! The inner packaging is excellent and the film peels cleanly off the plastic (made from recycled PET) in one piece.
I then checked the capacity: 64 GB (59.4 GiB). Hurray! So far I haven’t had any SanDisk cards with incorrect capacity.
Benchmarked it in CrystalDiskMark and as you can see in the screenshot it’s no slouch. I don’t have the SanDisk reader for the 170 MB/s read, but as you can see the write speed is very close to 90 MB/s which is another area where the SanDisk cards pull away from the budget cards.
Overall, I wouldn’t buy these at full price, but when they’re on offer I’m happy to pay 3 more to not have to play the lottery on getting a proper capacity card from the cheaper brand, and the hassle of returning it when that happens (3 out of 4 purchases I had to return). I don’t think Transcend’s 500S cards suffer from the capacity misrepresentation, but then they cost the same as these so you might as well just buy SanDisk and not worry.
Two years ago I bought a second generation Panasonic Bridge Camera FZ330 replacing my much loved FZ200. This new unit has many upgrades including weather and dust proofing and the ability to record 4k videos with the potential to record stills at 4k. The card I decided upon at purchase was a 64GB SanDisk Extreme Pro SDXC V30 U3 C10 writing at 95MB/s. At the time it was incredible however when the latest SanDisk Extreme Pro SDXC V30 U3 C10 with 170MB/s write speed came out, I determined to buy one. When it came to purchase time these 64GB Cards were amazingly lower priced at around 13.00 so I bought two. When shooting there is absolutely no delay in write speeds and can shoot in burst mode recording upto 30 frames a second. I shoot in Raw and also fine jpeg, so at 30 f/p/s I am recommending one set of Raw AND one set of JPEG, in effect 60 f/p/s with no lag or delay. The Raw shots are approx 16 no some at 18-20 no while the JPEG’s compress from 12mp to 8 to 10 MP. As a professional artist retired I used to be a Photoshop user working all over the world. I now use Affinity for both Raw and composition find this platform easy to work within and great value for money at single cost rather than subscription. The SanDisk Extreme Pro 170MB/s will from now on be my choice of memory card and with a range of 4500 quality shots per card is ideal for those trips abroad without sending back to my NAS drive at home every day. 192GB of record s with 13500 stills should be enough for even me.
When it comes to removable storage I rely heavily on SanDisk quality. I use their Extreme Pro range in my Nikon DSLR camera due to the superior transfer rate for multi-burst shooting, and I use their Ultra range for everything else. When I’ve used Ultra cards in my camera I’ve noticed a bottleneck in data transfer when shooting continuous shots to the point where the camera stops taking photos. I’ve not yet experienced this with the Extreme Pro cards.
I would recommend considering the Ultra range if your storage demands aren’t overly demanding though. Currently I have four 1080p IP security cameras each with 64GB Ultra cards installed, and three dash cams ( Nextbase 512 front and 112 rear in my car and 412 front in my wife’s) with 32GB Ultra cards. The transfer rates of the Ultras are still more than good enough to process HD video from all of these sources so the extra expense of using the Extreme Pro cards isn’t necessary.
I’ve been using SanDisk cards for as long as I’ve been using digital devices and I’ve never lost any data in that time. I have no hesitation in recommending SanDisk memory cards, with the Ultra range offering exceptional value for money while the Extreme Pro range provides exceptional performance.
I then read up about testing and established the built-in SD card reader to my laptop and desktop may hinder the speed.
I purchased the HAMA USB 3.1 type C card reader, which arrived the following day. Tested the new and old cards, and the speed – both burst and constant, read and write – was in excess of 80MB/s. Not quite that suggested by Sandisk, but what it did demonstrate to me as that testing is all very good but you must ensure that your hardware is not choking your speed…. it’s not all just about the cards, but also the bus speed and hardware.
So be warned folks – don’t think you have a duff card based on one test.
