Fujifilm SDHC Cards

Are they any good, has anyone tried them...
Every time I get pics published in a national magazine they send me these...23MB/s speed
I'm using Lexar Professional SDSHC cards now that have a 400X speed. What does this mean in MB/second?
Cheers,
Ron.

100x = 15MB/s so 400x is 60MB/s. What does your camera require?

It's a Nikon D7100...the Lexar ones work fine...so the Fujifilm ones are only about (up to 23MB/s) a third of the speed...?
The manual doesn't stipulate any particular requirement...

Your camera writes at around 28MB/s, that almost exactly The write speed of a 300x SDHC card. Your Fuji cards are woefully inadequate for your camera but would work for backups OK.

Whenever I go to a place where SD and MicroSD cards are displayed, I am always confused by what the package. Some crow about high speeds but never tell it is read speed, not right speed. I have a variety of cards of various so-called speeds and none write very fast, if the blinking screen thingy after a shot means anything. 100x means what 100x gazelle or 100x turtle.

These cards are class 10 cards. Will work beautifully with any camera that uses sd cards. (If you don't want 'em send them to me!)

You have to realize that Class 10 is a minimum standard that the cards must meet. In this case it is 10MB/sec. That is not adequate speed for burst shooting with most current generation DSLRs. So, yes, the cards will work, but not "beautifully".

The only thing available above Class 10 is UHS Speed 3 (as with Class 10, UHS Speed 1 is also rated at 10MB/sec), and it is specifically to handle 4k2k video recording. Class 10 is plenty for today's DSLRs - sufficient for continuous shooting and HD video recording.

Actually they are 23MB/s...

No, actually they are "up to 23MB/s". Big difference.

Yes, the standards are as you note. However, many SDHC cards surpass the minimums specified in the standard. Class 10 can be 10MB/s or 85MB/s or more, or anything in between. Some manufacturers reliably report their cards' performance, while others play the specsmanship game.
You might want to view

for how card speed impacts performance on a Nikon D7100. For my Pentax K-3 (24mp, 8.3fps) 45MB/s or more is needed to permit max performance.
In addition to in-camera performance, higher speed cards allow you to download your images to your computer faster, assuming you are using USB 3, not 2.

So how did you determine they are only 10MB/s...?
There is no info on the package to indicate this...?

I never stated that they were only 10MB/s. I merely stated that compliance with the Class 10 standard only means that they are at least 10MB/s. The manufacturer is implying that they are faster than the minimum but without stating their own minimum performance level, much is left to the imagination or testing ability of the end user.
