![]() And be aware that the actual speed also depends on the host device, and the camera likely cannot write full rated card speed. ![]() Point is, cameras have different processors and different card interfaces, and are also doing other work at the same time. XQD future: said to be up to 1000 MB/sec.XQD type G: write up to 400 MB/sec, read up to 440 MB/sec.XQD type M: write up to 150 MB/sec, read up to 440 MB/sec.XQD type S: write up to 180 MB/sec, read up to 180 MB/sec (discontinued by Sony).XQD type N: write up to 80 MB/sec, read up to 125 MB/sec (discontinued by Sony).Your camera will specify which type it can use. The XQD card is used on some new cameras, and are significantly faster cards, finally able to handle writing longer bursts of large raw files. Lexar was also making XQD until Micron closed their Lexar production (June 2017). The XQD card is from Sony so far, and is much faster yet (new and still changing). D800 with SanDisk Extreme Pro Compact Flash UDMA-7 writes 52 MB/second.D4 with SanDisk Extreme Pro Compact Flash writes 49 MB/second.D700 with SanDisk Extreme Pro Compact Flash writes 33 MB/second.D3S with SanDisk Extreme Pro Compact Flash writes 32 MB/second.D7000 with SanDisk Extreme Pro SD UHS-1 writes 24 MB/second.Compact Flash can be faster than SD, but his results says this 32 GB card actually tests at: Rob Galbraith previously tested many cards in specific cameras. SanDisk Extreme Pro 32GB Compact Flash UDMA-7 card: 160 MB/s Read, and 150 MB/s WriteĪnd it might do it in a computer setup, but highest rates are likely limited in your camera.SanDisk Extreme Pro 32GB SD UHS-1 card: 95 MB/sec Read, and 90 MB/sec Write.Write speed also depends on the device (or the specific camera model) doing the writing. The Nikon camera models (up through D750) support UHS-1. UHS U3 (speed class 3) means Minimum write speed is 30 MB/second. SD UHS U1 means Minimum write speed is 10 MB/second. It will contain camera subfolders with names including three digit numbers, meaning that one folder will hold at most 1000 images, and then a new subfolder is created. Size limits are practically eliminated (but cameras and file formats may still have limits).Ĭamera industry standards define a folder on the card named DCIM (Digital Camera Images). SDXC - cards larger than 32 GB (exFAT).SDHC - cards up to 32 GB size (FAT32, which has a 4 GB maximum file size, which could be an issue for larger video files.SD cards have these size types (check the camera manual and card reader for types the camera supports): The card recommendations in your camera or card reader manuals will mention UHS-1 or UDMA-7 if supported. ![]() They will always work fine, they just run at the slowest speed supported. These faster cards(of same type) are backwards compatible with older cameras, and vice versa. There are now UHS-1 (Ultra High Speed) SD cards, and UDMA-7 Compact Flash cards, which are newer and faster, and are supported in newer cameras or card readers if so specified. This will be maximum Read speed, Write will be slower (and your expected actual write speed will be difficult to determine when buying, and the speed in the camera is likely less than the speed in a computer). Some of the faster cards have finally started just specifying the fastest speed as megabytes per second (MB/s). Above 200x, the card will require a USB 3.0 port to ever see its full read speed. ![]() This is Read speed, Write speed will be slower. X ratings (used by Compact Flash cards): 400x means 400 times faster than the old first CD players which were 150 KB/second (which seems a pointless comparison today, but flash memory is older than digital cameras). Another factor is that many SD cards today have a UHS-1 interface, and are faster. I don't know why Class 10 is still the highest number used, but it is a minimum (more recent faster cards have adopted the X megabytes per second ratings). That will be Write speed, because Read is faster than Write. Newer, faster, and promise significantly faster in the future.Ĭlass ratings (used by SD cards): Class 10 means 10 MB per second minimum, and it means the slowest of Read or Write will be at least the 10 megabytes per second. These have been the faster card, until XQD. Your camera has to be designed to specifically accept them, and their sub-type. There are three major types of memory cards used by cameras (each fits a different unique socket, NOT backwards compatible). The Read and Write speeds are different, NOT the same number (the camera writes, your computer reads). There are different ways it is specified and advertised. Memory Card Speed - How much does the camera need? ![]()
