Hi

Which SDCard brand & size will you recommend for the R8?

As an hobbyist, I am more interested in photography than video, I will do video very occasionnaly.

What would be the reasonnable size for an SDCard, I saw that UHS-ii cards seems the way to go.

From my first research on the subject and past experience with my 7D (I use a CF 32Go), I saw this card:

Kingston Canvas React Plus Carte SD 64 Go | SDXC UHS-II | 300R/260W U3 V90 (75$cad)

Or maybe the same in 128 Go (160$cad)

Since the R8 have only one card slot, would you recommend ×1 128Go card or ×2 64Gb cards?

Thanks for your feedback

Choosing 64 Go vs 128 Go is "budget' related. It also depends on how many pictures you expect to take without changing cards. If you never go beyond a 1000 per session, 64 is large enough.

I am not sure you need a V90 for the R8. Looks expensive and probably an overkill. V60 should be fast enough. Unless you shoot at 40 shot burst all the time.
