Looking for Memory Card for my Nikon D 7200. 32 g
Any recommendations? I shoot a lot of nature.
I know a lot of speed comes into play if you can explain.
Thanks for your input & Happy New Year :thumbup:

The Photo Gallery section is described as, "Show off your pics and/or ask for general critique." and in the section rules it begins with, "This section is for posting pictures you took."

No real harm in posting to this section, but you will probably get a much wider audience and better responses if you repost to maybe the Main Photography Discussion section.

Here's a sample, there are lots of other good makes, but make sure you buy Class 10.

See what the manual says about cards and then go shopping. Buy from a reputable seller and get a brand name.

One thing to consider is size. Larger cards cost more, but I seldom fill a card before uploading to a computer. You should have more than one card.

I have a D7100 with 2 16Gig class 10 cards. Will get over 600 photos Raw and over 900 Jpag. The only plus of hi speed cards is when using burst mode.

Faster downloading to the computer as well

Your 7200 used SD card in two slots, I used the fast and low cost Sony 32 Gb Write 70 Mb/s and Read 94 Mb/s..super speed for your cámera .-

Speed matters if you shoot in bursts for sure... especially if you shoot raw since the files are so much bigger.

The faster the camera can write to the card the faster it empties the buffer, and the faster the camera can continue to shoot.

I shoot with a D7100, which has a small buffer, the D7200 from what I have heard has a bigger buffer, so it can shoot faster for longer then it needs to write the buffer to the card, so the faster it writes the faster it empties the buffer and the longer & faster it can continue to shoot in a burst.

If you only look at the CLASS rating you will miss out on fast cards as the CLASS rating ONLY refers to a minimum speed (CLASS 10 cards have at least a speed of 10 MB/S) - so a card that writes at 10 MB/s is CLASS 10 AND a card that writes at 20 MB/s is also CLASS 10...

Get beyond CLASS rating and look at actual speeds - look for WRITE speed, not necessarily read speeds....

I use Samsung Pro cards in my D7100, quite fast, 32 GB in size and were cheap enough at the time to make them the best bang for the buck - a good site to find real speed tests & costs for cards is:

First check your manual for comparability. No sense in buying one when it won't work. Class 10 is the minimum and not the standard. Name brands for reliability. Bigger sizes, fewer cards, less time you have to pull in and out of your camera, fewer to lose. Use care in storage.

There have been sales on Lexar 1000 64GB cards and Sandisk one also
I have gone from 32 GB cards to 64. less changing of cards

Rick from NY Loc: Sarasota FL

Whichever brand you buy, be very careful where you buy them. Memory cards with labels for Lexar, Sandisk, etc are often counterfeit and bear no resemblance to "real" branded cards.

There have even been rare cases where such bootleg cards were inadvertently sold by major, reputable dealers. Counterfeit cards are big business. I strongly recommend that you do not buy cards on Ebay or from places other than the major retailers.

Added thought-

Thanks to dngallagher for posting the link to the comparative testing data on memory cards (CF, SD and micro SD). Very useful source, including discussion of write-speed capability of particular camera models.

Happy New Year to you to.

I had this one on my Amazon Wish List for Christmas:

It's 280 MB/sec. I think it went up $10 since I added it.

No one took me up on that, but I got other good stuff.

Of course, if you plug a UHS 3 card into a UHS 1 bus compliant device, you get UHS 1 speeds, so make sure your device can handle the higher bus speeds.

I believe UHS I & II bus speeds max out at 104 MB/s and UHS 3 tops out at 312 MB/s.

I think that the UHS 3 cards also have an extra rows of contacts, so if you use it in an older reader or device, those extra contacts are not used, and the speed drops dramatically from the UHS 3 speed.

Ah! I just check the manual for my D5300. It only shows UHS I. Guess I can take that off my wish list.

Thanks.
