Rebel T5/1200D - what is max write speed? Choosing Sandisk SD cards that aren't overkill.

I'm having a hard time finding out what the maximum write speed the camera itself is capable of. I know I should be looking at class 10 cards and it doesn't make use of UHS, but I want to be sure the write speed is fast enough to meet the max write specifications of the camera (in burst mode, for example) without buying faster memory than the camera can make use of.

I'm looking at SanDisk Extreme cards but wondering if Ultra Plus or Ultra is all this camera needs or really uses. The Ultra series cards are often on sale multipacks of 8 GB cards. If I were buying Extreme cards, I'd be buying 16 gig since 8 gig is no cheaper here, but I'd still want multiple cards to protect my data, rather than say just 1 larger capacity card.

Can anyone advise me on the most appropriateĀ SanDisk SD cards to buy specifically for the Rebel T5/1200D? I'd greatly appreciate any assistance!
