There is a very wide range of different memory cards, in different sizes and at different speeds, and finding the right one can be a challenge. This guide explains the criteria for choosing the right card, the different types of cards available and what the different memory card labels mean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most important thing is to find the right memory card for your needs. The bottom line is that when shooting video, you need a much bigger and faster card than when shooting stills. Serial photography, for example when shooting sports, also requires a faster card and usually more space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find out what type of card your camera supports and which card fits your camera. The fastest card is not always the best, as the camera itself may not be capable of the speed promised by the card. In most cases, you can find the appropriate card models in the user manual of your camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The GB number indicates the storage capacity of the memory card, the higher the number, the more storage space the card has. In general, 32GB and 64GB cards are good enough for normal shooting, a larger card is worth investing in if you shoot a lot of cartoons or video. SD cards are divided into two different categories according to storage capacity. HC cards have a storage capacity of 4-32GB and XC cards 64-2000GB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The read and write speeds of memory cards indicate the speed of the card. The write speed is the speed at which the camera can record an image onto the card. The read speed tells you how fast you can transfer the image from the memory card to a computer, for example. 170MB\/s and slower cards are fine for normal shooting, but you need a faster card for video and continuous shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UHS-I and UHS-II markings indicate the maximum data transfer rate of the memory card. Cards marked UHS-I can transfer up to 100Mbps and cards marked UHS-II can transfer up to 285Mbps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
