Looking for recommendations for an sd card in particular anyone has any real life experience of any benefit of super high speed uhs 1 90mb or if a 45 is ok

i know these arent minimums and this is the problem
 
ive been reading a bit about buffer dumps on to the card, its tough not having a definitive benchmark for sd cards

i was mainly looking at

lexar 32gb 400x
sandisk extreme 32gb 45MBps
transcend 32gb 600x

these are all fairly similar in price
 
its not the video its the dumping of the buffer to the sd card in burst mode i am thinking of

the camera will be a 70d

ha the 90MB car is definitly extreme! :p
ive read good things about the lexar cards

im only looking at cards 30MB + max speed..its the min i worry about.. there is a sony that claims 90MB max but reviews seem to say not good so i cant just go on rating of the card

most say sandisk with the 'Pro' version not being needed?

Btw, Raymond, that is a lot of Flash storage! why so many? trips abroad?
 
Yeah, I shoot weddings :) Thanks Andrew for the kind words!

I have had 1 Sandisk card die on me, it died to a point that recovery software didn't work and it could not be formatted but either computer or camera, luckily it was only holiday photos on my backup (compact) camera. Had to RMA it, and I remember making a tweet about it and Sandisk got in touch !

But that was 5 years ago and it has not happened since.

those are some amazing shots

if i had the nikon with dual sd slots id definitely use it for backup!.. another bad point for the canon..i can imagine it is a worry for pros
 
sound like i will get an extreme for general shooting in 32GB

if i need a pro ill get it later.. the costs are significantly higher
