SD memory card performance? For example, is there any noticeable performance difference using a SanDisk Extreme III instead of a lower priced Ultra II?

from what I read on www.dpreview.com they said it will take advantage of faster memory. They used extreme III 1 gig sandisk card to test it so the ultra II would be a little slower. The Shutter speed will be impacted but how much between Ultra II and Extreme III it may be very little but It will be a lot slower with standard slow speed sd memory. Until the end of May Adorama camera is offering a rebate on Extreme speed sd memory.

I am running two UHS-1 cards -SanDisk Ultra 64 GB MicroSDXC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory I have not formally benchmarked them but transfer using a USB 3.0 port is much faster than a 2.0 port.

There is no such thing as an 'Ultra micro SD" card. This product is a "micro SDHC" card. "Ultra" is the name used by Sandisk to desingate its mid-priced line of memory products. There is also an "Extreme" product line which is faster and more expensive. Ordinary Sandisk product line (without "Ultra" or "Extreme") is the slowest.

For fastest performance, turn off the instant shot review, use Priority mode and get the fastest SD cards you can. Using a high ISO can also slow things down due to the noise reduction processing

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.

SDHC CARD (at least that's what is written on the little thing) Hope that helps. I don't think the amount of storage makes any difference.

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: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0018M256G/ref=cm_cd_asin_lnk However, faster cards are likely to write and read faster through a card reader or on your computer.

I am currently using a SanDisk Ultra 64GB MicroSDXC Class 10 UHS and it is working fine.

Yes. Some cards work better than others, but the max speed on the pi is only about 20-21 mb/s so if you get an extreme card that has 45mb/s, you will never see that speed on the pi itself. I personally run a 16gb sandisk extreme and I love it.

I bought a 2 GB Sandisk Extreme III (20 MB/s write rate). It works fantastically. I was able to continuously record video until I completely filled the card (over 18 minutes) with 480x640 resolution at 30 frames per second (like a standard digital camcorder). It costs a bit more than standard SD memory cards, but if you are shooting video it is well worth it. I ordered mine from Jowow through Amazon for under $40 delivered.

I use the recommended SanDisk SD cards. I'm a fan of the Ultra version, but you wouldn't necessarily have to buy the Ultra one. Because I take a lot of photos, I buy a 16 GB SD card. I watch for sales on them. I do stay away from brands that you see at Black Friday sales, or similar...you never know what you are getting...and you get what you pay for. Hope this helps.

The type used is called microsd, similar to this one: 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]

I just bought the camera and the SanDisk 2 GB Ultra II SD as recommended by someone at Best Buy. It seems to work fine so far. It didn't seem to remove as easily as the 16MB SD that came with the camera at first, but seemed to be ok after a few tries.

I think most of them are equal, I lean toward SanDisk products. I have one and it works fine.

I prefer the 32gb Sandisk Extreme SD HC1. At 45MB's a second it's plenty fast.

I tried two 64gb cards. They both seemed to record but both gave error message saying they were too slow (although they were rated fast enough). I went back to a 32gb and all is well.
