With the growing popularity of high-megapixel DSLR\u2019s and 4K camcorders, we can just about discard all our old 1, 2 & 4GB flash cards.\u00a0 Those fill up way too fast. What you need now are minimum 16GB, and preferably 32 or 64GB cards.\u00a0 But what kind to buy?<\/p>\n

Kingston SDHC\/SDXC UHS-I U3 Flash Cards<\/h1>\n

One of the things to look for first is the speed class \u2013 in this case Kingston\u2019s newest cards<\/a> will read up to 90MB\/second and write up to 80MB\/second.\u00a0 That\u2019s fast enough to keep up with the data rate on today\u2019s fastest cameras.<\/p>\n

\"Kingston<\/a><\/p>\n

Be aware however, not all UHS-I speed class 3 cards read\/write at this speed \u2013 the spec only requires them to be able to maintain 30MB\/seconds for read\/write.\u00a0 That won\u2019t do for your high-def video.<\/p>\n

Also, not every card will work.\u00a0 Check your equipment, older model cameras might only work with standard SD or microSD cards \u2013 not today\u2019s faster microSDHC or microSDXC cards. If your equipment will work with the newer cards, then for sure buy those.\u00a0Not sure what card will work with your camera?\u00a0Kingston has a selector page where you type in your camera make and model<\/a> and it tells what cards are compatible.<\/p>\n

\"Kingston<\/a><\/p>\n

Also consider a reader to match the speed of the card.\u00a0 Old style readers, or the slot in your PC can slow down the reading of your card.\u00a0 To attain the holy grail of 90MB\/second read times, you\u2019ll need a fast reader like the MobileLite G4 from Kingston<\/a>. That means you\u2019ll download and be ready to start editing minutes before your old card reader is even done transferring files.<\/p>\n

In a speed comparison with the fastest card I bought last year, the same amount of files downloaded into Lightroom in 2 minutes with the Kingston card while they took almost 6 minutes with the other name brand card.<\/p>\n

\"Kingston<\/a><\/p>\n

With two slots, the MobileLite G4 can read either standard size SD cards to micro SD cards without an adapter.\u00a0 Actually, you can put one of each in at the same time.<\/p>\n

\"Kingston<\/a><\/p>\n

The G4 has a real nice solid feel to it, so from the standpoint of durability, it\u2019s going to last you a long time.<\/p>\n

\"Kingston<\/a><\/p>\n

Check out the whole Kingston<\/a> line at their website, but remember, if you plan to shoot 4K video, and lots of it, you\u2019re going to want one of these new great cards.<\/p>\n

Disclosure: Kingston provided the card and reader to perform this evaluation and review.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
