In for 1, just in case I become professional action photographer one day.

Now, is there any camera deal? I only have cell phone camera now.

SD spirit!

LOL you don't need to have a fast camera to use fast cards. What if you have to transfer huge files? Fast cards can turn large file transfers from minutes to seconds.

Fast cards are also good if you shoot 4k where the files are humongous. It doesn't take long to rack up gigs when shooting in 4k and I simply don't want to wait forever transferring these files to the pc.
With that said, I'd rather go with Lexar pro 1667x cards as they lower in price and similar to these as the 250MB/s is the read speed. Write speed is less than half. Similar performance on Lexar pro 1667x cards either way for less.

This a is quality brand that many don't know about. They are relatively new, but basically rose from the ashes of Micron backing out of Lexar, and the Lexar name being sold off. Lexar is not the reliable brand they used to be. Prograde is made up of former Lexar and SanDisk executives and senior management.

Love the price and I like the card. The only downside to this company is the 3 year warranty instead of lifetime for Sandisk. Will probably buy 4-6 of these though!

I have both this card and the platinum series and these are great performance for the price.

Some of the best pictures of my baby children were taken at 10 fps with the 7R3 out of many, many duds. I wish these were the higher grade write speeds though. The camera really chokes up when you fire off bursts of raw files at 10 fps, each at 80mb.

It's the camera choking not the card, busy mode will always max out your camera. the V60 rating means it gets a minimum constant of 60MB/sec write aka 480mbit, that's insanely fast.

Lexar cards are garbage! Stay far away from them! Nothing but issues for many pros since they changed hands
