Many thanks in advance

The Ultra and the Extreme Pro are both rated to the same operating temperatures (-13F - 185F).  Don't know if SanDisk has ever published altitude data.

The biggest factor that you might consider though is the large difference in write  speeds.  The Ultra is rated at 10 MB/s max, and the Extreme Pro at 90 MB/s max.

10 MB/s is over 4 times slower than the camera can write to the card (~45 MB/s).  This however might not impact you if you don't take a lot of pictures in a row (or shoot bursts).

But IMHO I'd still get the Extreme Pro  for the extra $15.
