Hi Everyone,
In case anyone of you are wondering what sd cards to get for D800/600. You can actually consider my suggestion..
As we know, the new Nikon cameras have rather large megapixels, this it has been a headache for us when choosing the memory cards.
Well, if all of you have no budget, then I would recommend Sandisk 600x CF cards , but this is not the case for everyone an I would not wish that anyone bought a card that is not suitable for them ..
Ok here we go .
My first suggestion is Sandisk sdhc uhs-1 95mb/s 32gb ($105-129) .
This card is affordable high speed, and good quality. The writing speed is minimum of 45mb/s (though they quoted 90mb/s it is not realistic. I have not encountered before). The writting speed is indeed fast .. Slightly faster than the 60mb/s CF card... It clears my buffer(17raw) in 20-30sec. Which each raw is about 50 mb... The rest u can judge ur self.
Second suggestion: Sandisk 60mb/s sdhc this card have a writing speed just slightly slower than the 95mb/s .. Yes just slightly slower... But the difference in reading is huge.. This card clear my buffer in less than 40-45secs...
Next would be lexar 90mbs .. This lexar is about disappointing in writing , though reading is extremely fast... The writting makes u feel sad... It writes only 20-30mb/s.. And it clears my d800 buffer in sadly 1 min. And when the buffers full, it slows down to 1 shot to 0.5 shot per second .. While the two still yields 2shots per second for a while... ..if u are shooting jpeg this card is sufficient and fast.. It cost 90 dollars only!. The reading speed is also decent...
Lastly if u only do shoot jpeg, well u can really go for the Sandisk 30mb/s 32/64gb they are decently fast... Pls do not go for lexar unless u want to buy cf cards ... Seriously.. And forget about Kingston, toshiba transcend or silicon power... They are a joke .... Don waste your money ... Unless u have a lot to spend then go ahead.... Well if anyone of you have opinion on my comment pls feel free to correct me ... And help the rest ...
Thank you
Regards
