It’s been a couple of years since I bought memory cards. My standard cards now are Sandisk Extreme 64G and Lexar Pro 1000x 128G. They support write speeds faster than any camera I own and download to my Mac mini at nearly the full theoretical speed of USB3.
Better than that, or larger capacity than that, I do not need. :-) G > On May 24, 2019, at 3:46 PM, Larry Colen <l...@red4est.com> wrote: > > It's been a while since I've purchased SD cards. > > What is the current price/performance/quality sweet spot these days?
