jason_spaceman Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 <p>Hello:<br>I just ordered a Nikon D750 body and so I'm looking at buying a couple of SD cards for it. I've narrowed it down to either the SanDisk Extreme Pro (either 32GB or 64GB), or the Lexar Professional 1000x (either 32 or 64GB). <br>The 64GB Lexar is on sale for $59 Canadian right now. It has a faster read speed, but the D750 is UHS-I whereas the Lexar is UHS-II, so I take it I wouldn't get the full read/write speeds anyways. I'm not sure what the write speed on this card is. Lexar just lists it as greater than 30MB/s.</p><p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Ingold Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 <p>I just bought a couple of Sandisk Extreme Pro 64GB SDXC cards for US$54 from Amazon. They're 95 MB/s, UHS-3 (which I need for XAVCS video). That card seems to be at the sweet spot for $/GB. I stick with Sandisk or Lexar for best compatibility. They seem to work in anything I have (or had).</p> <p>Faster cards download faster in a card reader. Minutes add up.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spearhead Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 <blockquote> <p>Faster cards download faster in a card reader.

You can begin working on images immediately as they download. <p><a name="pagebottom"></a></p> <blockquote> <p> That card seems to be at the sweet spot for $/GB</p> </blockquote> <p> <br> <br />How does it compare in speed to the Lexar he is asking about?</p> <p> </p> Music and Portraits Blog: Life in Portugal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason_spaceman Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 <p>I guess I'm leaning towards the SanDisk. Any idea what kind of write speeds I could get with the Lexar, which is UHS-II, although the D750 is UHS-1. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spearhead Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 <p>Unless someone here has the card and the ability to test, it's going to be difficult. Try contacting Lexar, they probably have data.</p> Music and Portraits Blog: Life in Portugal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim_j3 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 <p>I use a Sandisk Extreme because it came as a package with my 6D :-p Coming from a "non-Extreme" Sandisk in a 60D, I've not noticed any drawbacks or major speed falloff.<br /> If 32GB ever gets to be a constraint, I'll probably go with a Lexar 1000x. But that hasn't happened yet. I'm not a pro, so I'm in one-card crew.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
