Upgrading my Sony SDHC Class 4 on my Pentax Kx

CarlitosBX · 12-13-2015, 01:31 PM

A couple of years back when I bought my Pentax Kx of a member I went out shopping for a memory card and purchase what I could at that time. I got myself 2 Sony SDHC Class 4 of 8GB each. So far they have worked well, and have been reliable. But now that I have been reading more about how important is and how to chose a memory card I want to add one more card with a higher class and GB.

All though Wikipedia saids that my Kx supports SDXC as well I do not know if this is true so below I have listed some suggestions and of course Sony being #1.

Sony 32GB Class 10 UHS-1/U3 SDHC up to 94MB/s $12.99 on Amazon (the old model was at 70MB/s)

Samsung America Inc. 32GB PRO Class 10 Micro SDHC up to 90MB/s with Adapter (MB-MG32EA/AM) $22.99 on Newegg

Lexar Professional 633x 32GB Secure Digital High-Capacity (SDHC) Flash Card Model LSD32GCBNL633 $22.38 on Newegg

SanDisk 32GB 32G Extreme Pro SD SDHC U3 4K Card UHS-I 32 GB Class 10 95MB/s with oem Multifunction Memory Card Protective Case $35.70 on Newegg

I'd go for sandisk. This one is cheaper than on newegg:
SanDisk 32GB Extreme Pro UHS-I SDHC U3 Extreme Pro Memory Card (Class 10)

Lifetime limited warranty + the fastest speed currently available for UHS-I. This card will serve you well even after you upgrade your camera body

I like the warranty and for the price and being able to serve me whenever I upgrade my body is one of my main concern as well. I like!

No need to wonder when info from Ricoh-Pentax is just a few clicks away.

Does anyone know the max write speed of the Kx ? I remember dealing with an Oly and the card speed craze was moot as the camera could only write at class 2 speed, or something like that.
