Home Forums Gear Photography Best SD cards?

Wife bought me a new Canon EOS M50 to mess around with . Somebody educate me on better SD cards and why you like them or what makes it better .Mostly for just taking photos random outdoors and family outings.
Thanks for any help, Joe

I use Lexar Professional SD cards. Lot of my hard core photography friends that do it for a living do the same.

Thanks Godogs-- anybody else?

Units can write a bit faster to the better cards. Probably only an asset when one wants to do rapid sports sequences snapping a dozen or so images a second.

By no means an expert

But simple search nets results

I've had cards fail from pretty much any maker EXCEPT Lexar...for whatever that's worth. CF, SD, Micro-SD...

Speed of card doesn't generally come into play unless you're shooting video (4k or 8k will stress write speeds). Modern cameras have buffers that will absorb pretty much any burst that a pro sports shooter can throw at it. For S&G, we held the shutter button down on a Canon R3 and it kept firing for a good long time. I think by the time we were done, we were at 400+ shots. I think it was a UHS-2 card (fancy SD).

Thanks to everyone for their input , will look into Lexar cards....Joe
