The only card faster than this is the Extreme Pro, or a few overpriced Lexar cards meant for 4K video recording. The Nintendo Switch does not really have any specific speed requirements because once the data is read it's stored in RAM, but Nintendo recommends a UHS-I card for best experience: https://en-americas-support.ninte...d-faq#s1q3
The SanDisk Extreme meets and exceeds these recommendations. The Switch also does not do frequent or rapid writes, so really any big microSD would be fine. Note that lots of Switch games have 20GB updates (for cartridge games!), so 256GB is sized right.
Cameras and video are a different question altogether -- it's going to depend on your camera model, your quality settings, etc. The SanDisk Extreme is appropriate for high res video recording as well, and there are only a handful of cards on the market that are (mostly unnecessarily) faster:
how much of actual storage does this have? purchased SP 256gb few days ago and it only had 230gb space.. looking for something that has 250 ish gb for loading an image.

Looks like 238GB from reviews, but I don't have mine in hand yet.

All drives and storage will only contain about 90% of the advertised storage space, because of the difference between bytes and bits. This has been that way since before the 1990s, it's a basic reality of computing physics and measurement and has nothing to do with SanDisk or MicroSDs.
