Well gee, I guess that would vary WIDELY depending on what you were using for a camera.

As a general rule buy fastest card your camera can effectively use for video. You would have to look at the manual for your camera to see what is recommended. But to buy a card faster than your camera can write to will just cost more without any benefit.

To the OP, try this website for the write speed of your camera model: https://www.cameramemoryspeed.com/
As said above, the speed rating of the card is useful only to as fast as the maximum speed the camera can write.

You never mentioned if you have a DSLR or a Video camera. I don't do video on my Nikon DSLR. It's capable of 29 minutes of video with a SD card. A friend bought his teenage son an entry-level Nikon D3400, 2 lens bundle kit, last Xmas. He only had a 16gb or 32gb SD card. He wanted to do video and still photography. So, I gave him a high storage SanDisk 128gb Ultra SD card, 80 MB/s for his video. Your media card should be capable of the limits of your camera. All camera read/write speeds are not equal.

And do not use cards that are larger than the maximum capacity of your camera.
