Not Extreme

This its the "New Ultra" at 30mb/s class 10 that SanDisk just released ......... correct me if im wrong but I think thats what the Extreme was ( the newer extreme is 45MB/s class 10 )
Ultra had a speed bump up from 15MB/s to 30 MB/s ( so the new cards like this is 30mb/s )
Extreme also had a speed bump up from 30 mb/s to 45 mb/s ( although many extremes in the market are still 30mb/s)

Ultra = 30mb/s* read, *write speed may be lower
Extreme (old) = 30MB/s
Extreme = 45MB/s


In a USB 2.0 card reader (maxes out @ 20MB/s)
======== Read |=| Write
Ultra ------- ~20MB/s | ~13MB/s
Extreme - ~20MB/s | ~20MB/s


In a USB 3.0 card reader:
======== Read |=| Write
Ultra ------- ~40MB/s | ~13MB/s
Extreme - ~45MB/s | ~43MB/s

Thanks AkumaX that kinda answers my questions

Also many questions can be referenced from a March FP deal for these same cards here

The New Ultras are sturdy cards. But as much as I would like to recommend them, their write speeds are still too low. Anyone w/ a DSLR will hit their buffer faster w/ these cards than an Extreme. I suppose sticking them in a P&S would be fine. I even think the older Ultra III's have a faster write speed. In case you're wondering, the old Extreme 30MB/s does 45MB/s read and 35MB/s write w/ USB 3.0

so bottom line - for most people like me who have a point and shoot camera or camcorder ( as opposed to a DSLR ) you dont get anything extra using an extreme over these ultra cards correct ?

AFAIK, no. However, I'm not sure how "fast" some of these P&S's are...

I believe the Canon XS DSLR writes to the card @ 13MB/s. So you'd be peaking out an Ultra, and maybe might see a tiny bit of performance gain w/ an Extreme.

But I think the T2i/T3i/60D all write to the card @ 20-25MB/s... so an Extreme would definitely help here.

If you had a basic P&S, I doubt it would be writing to the card > 10MB/s... But maybe "high end" P&S's (like Canon S100, Panasonic LX5) might write to it faster. Hope that helps!

Also, you could use it as a thumb drive and see the performance gains that way.

IMHO Even with a DSLR you're more than good with these Ultra's (unless you have the D800 or 5d III)

I have a Canon T3i/600D and with continuous shooting 18M JPEGs, I can shoot non-stop. If I shoot RAW, I can shoot 6 pictures before it chokes. With JPEG+RAW, I can shoot 3 pictures before it chokes. Shooting 1080/30p video is no problem with this card. I can shoot the full 12 minutes with no setbacks. It does get a little warm, but the warm feeling is like the feel of warm fresh copies off a copy machine.

EDIT: I also have two 16GB SanDisk Extreme HD Video SDHC cards and they perform exactly the same as the SanDisk Ultra SDXC cards. The camera chokes before these cards do.

Seriously, just shut up. You keep saying that, policing SD card deals here to throw in your worthless two cents and it's not true.

The buffering issues are the flaw of your camera.

In case you still haven't figured it out, megabits per second is different than megabytes per second. Keep working on that.
