People underestimate the importance of a fast memory card, and look mostly for the size, rather than the speed, but they’re wrong to do so. Fast memory cards have always cost a little bit more than the slower ones, but the advantages they can give you when shooting fast action is worth the extra expenditure. The card that I’ve shown is the one that I personally use because it will write onto the card at 60MB/sec, which is important when you’re shooting in burst fire mode, as you’re limited by the number you can shoot in a single burst, by the writing speed of your card. If you’ve ever shot sports photography, where everything is happening fast and you’ve only got a short time to capture the image, you’ll often find that your camera can’t keep up. This is where a fast card will come in very handy, you can get faster cards than this but such is the life of the photographer it comes at a cost!
