With thanks to everyone on my previous threads for their advice, I have just ordered myself a canon 100d!

I am super excited and now also very confused about sd cards lol.

Been looking at the Sandisk ones on Amazon and not sure whether to go pro, or ultra. Or if ultra is overkill? I'm happy to pay and get a decent one of it makes the camera run quicker.

Any recommendations gladly received.

Thanks x

your 100D will not write any faster than 45 mbs  to the card..but on a usb3 card reader you will notice a much faster upload speed to you PC with a faster card

BUT what nobody points out is the speed on the card is the READ speed not the write speed ..this is becos the read speed is normally faster so looks good for advertising  but the write speed can be MUCH slower look here  you will see the sony card givern out at 95mbs has a write spead of less than 23mbs so almost 1/2 what your 100D can write
