About this deal

The next option is 1667x which are available in 64GB to 256GB and provide speeds of 250MB/s read, 120MB/s write. These will capture 4K video without breaking a sweat and provide high capacity. This card is a great price, but that means nothing if it can’t keep up with the speeds demanded of it by the latest cameras. Temperature-proof: Withstands operating temperature range from -13ºF (-25ºC) or 185ºF (85 ºC) and non-operating temperatures from -40ºF (-40ºC) or 185ºF (85 ºC).

Measuring 32 x 24 x 2.1mm, the Lexar Professional 2000x SDHC/SDXC UHS-II cards are the same size as all other SD cards. They also have the same plastic construction with two rows of connections on the rear indicating their UHS-II status. In keeping with the Gold series name, the Professional 2000x cards have a splash of gold on the label, making them instantly recognizable amongst a pile of other cards. Up to 100MB/s read transfer, write speeds lower. Speeds based on internal testing. Actual performance may vary. I have been using a 128GB Lexar Professional 2000x SDXC UHS-II card heavily for several months and it has performed perfectly in numerous cameras. In the 45.7MP Nikon Z 7II, I was able to shoot up to around 104 Fine quality Jpegs, 91 Fine* quality Jpegs or 39 uncompressed 14-bit raw files at 10fps, each in one continuous sequence. The card also enables long clips of 4K and 8K video to be recorded, however, as you’d expect, the most processor-intensive 8K options such as raw and ALL-I recording are not possible.SD cards are flash memory, which means they have no moving parts and instead rely on electronic chips to store data. While they don’t require power to store data, they can be damaged via water, fire and physical pressure. Some companies offer bespoke 'tough' versions that can withstand these elements, even remaining safe in extreme temperatures, so it's worth looking for those if you're going on an adventure. The Transcend did superbly in its speed tests, excelling the claimed write speed (180MB/s) with a whopping 224MB/s, but falling slightly short on the read speed with 224MB/s. Overall, that makes this card an impressive buy at a reasonable cost. This card is ideal for high resolution, rapid-fire stills photography and 8K video, with 4K and HD video being recorded comfortably, too.

cards will also keep up with 4K video and provide large capacity options up to 256GB and Up to 150MB/s read transfer. When it comes to compatibility, these cards have worked flawlessly with both my Sony A7R IV and Panasonic G9 cameras. I haven't experienced any compatibility issues or error messages, which is a relief. It's nice to have a memory card that plays well with different camera brands. To put the card to the test, I first used it in the Sony A7 III for a portrait shoot, after a morning of being slightly over trigger happy, the camera and card kept up. No real issues with buffering as the cards speed to write down those 24MP files were more than sufficient. Card classifications like V30 or U3 are just categorizations of these speeds. There are three main classes: Speed Class (denoted with a number in a circle), UHS Speed Class (a number in an open beaker-like icon), and a Video Speed Class (V followed by a number). The numbers indicate the minimum writing speed when put under data transfer. Speed class is categorized into Class 2 (a minimum write speed of 2MB/s), Class 4 (4MB/s), Class 6 (6MB/s), and 10 (10MB/s). Choosing the best one for your camera depends on your camera's resolution, buffer size and burst shooting speeds. An additional clue is the UHS Speed Class rating, which is U1 or U3. U1 means it can write a minimum of 10MB/s (like Class 10), while U3 pushes the write speed up to a minimum of 30MB/s. More interested in shooting video? The Video Speed Classes are V6, V10, V30, V60, and V90, with V6 suitable for standard definition video recording and V90 capable of 8K video capture. 4K UHD video recording will require a minimum of V10 ideally, and HD video can utilize V6 or below at a push. How we test SD cards Our SanDisk Extreme SD UHS-I V3 tests saw write speeds live up to its claims, matching them almost exactly at 71.6MB/s. But as with most other cards on this list, the read speeds leave a bit to be desired, coming in at almost half the claimed speed, 71.6MB/s. All can be forgiven, though, bearing in mind the extremely low cost of these cards, especially while still offering such high capacity to users at up to 256GB sizes.The real-world tests highlighted that the Lexar Professional 1667x SDXC UHS-II Card is more than sufficient for mid-range DSLRs and mirrorless cameras. More than able to keep up with the action and safely record down all data required. Lexar SD cards are perhaps the most popular for mirrorless cameras as well as DSLR and medium format systems. Vibration proof: Vibration resistant (10Hz to 2000 Hz, 6Grms, 5 minutes per 1 cycle, 10 cycle per 1 axis total 30 cycles per 3 axis, based on IEC 60512-6-4 guidelines).

Next up was shooting 4K at 30fps, 100Mbps – again, the card recorded solidly for 29 minutes before the camera timed out. Having that 256GB of storage also meant that all video was captured to one card, which is convenient. Actual transfer speeds under our testing churned out a write speed of 33MB/s and read speed of 82MB/s; not too bad, but the write speed is close to the minimum V30 classification on the label, so that's worth bearing that in mind if write speeds are important to your work. Up to 12,000 record hours for 128GB, 6,000 record hours for 64GB, and 3,000 record hours for 32GB. Actual hours of video saved less. Full-HD video only, based on 1080p Full-HD Video (FHD), 25Mbps, total hours less for 4K video. Based on internal testing. Actual performance may vary. While the higher capacity cards increase in price exponentially, the 633x appears in sizes as small as 16GB, making it suitable for a wide range of photographers and videographers alike who require all kinds of capacities for casual or professional use. We found its write speed to be a little slow compared to other UHS-I cards in this class range, but it’s good value for money and the V30/U3 class listing means it’s still suitable for up to 4K UHD video recording. There are three main types of SD card: SD, SDHC (high capacity) or SDXC (extended capacity). SD cards typically offer 128MB to 2GB in storage capacity, too small for today’s modern cameras with higher resolutions. SDHC bumps this up from 4GB to 32GB, useful for most photographers and videographers. SDXC cards, meanwhile, range from 64GB to 2TB and are aimed at professional-level users who require more memory.Our stand-out best SD card is the Transcend SDXC UHS-II U3. With a Class 10, V90, U3 and UHS-II rating, we thought it would be fast enough to capture almost anything modern devices could throw at it, but we weren’t expecting the speed results we got.
