Best Card for XT2


JNT

Recommended Posts

I recently had an instance where my video suddenly stopped recording, and then started again after  few secs. Apparently this is on account of the write speed of the SD card.

 

What do you use, and what is the very best card that one can get for the XT2 that prevents all such bugs, video or photo?

All cards from all manufacturers can be faulty... For each brand, I guess you can find someone here who had a problem in the past.

 

For the X-T2, you can try using the relatively new UHS-II cards, which are faster than the standard SD card. It's useful for video. I had one for my X-T1 and it was great... until it died, 1 year after buying it. Faulty SD card? Immature technology? Lack of luck? Aliens? 

 

I think, to minimize the risk, that you should take advantage of the dual slots in the X-T2 to have a backup (could it be the reason why your camera was suddenly slow? If one of the cards used as backup is slower, perhaps that could create a bottleneck?). Some people even advise to use 2 different brands, one for each slot. I think that's completely stupid, a faulty card being a faulty card, whatever the manufacturer is (unless you take some unknown and exotic manufacturer), and the probability that both cards fail at the same time is close to zero...

 

I believe SanDisk, Transcend, Lexar are viable options.
