Amazon has a sale on Lexar 64 GB Cards for $9.99. The card is
Lexar Professional 633x 64GB SDXC UHS-I Card

I know about counterfeit cards, but according to the listing these cards are sold and shipped by Amazon. That should preclude the counterfeit card issue as I do not think that Amazon itself, as opposed to a vendor on Amazon would be putting out counterfeit cards. Hopefully, I will not get trapped by my inheret cheapness, but Amazon has a great return policy if they fail my tests.

Nice price, though write speed is only up to 45mps.

So has anyone here actually purchased one of these cards from Amazon during this 'sale? If so, how's the card working? I have a non-camera related need for a larger sized card, but if it's junk I don't want to bother. I've read the postings about others who have the card, and I can live with the speed, just curios if anyone has actually purchased from this link and how the product was once you received it....

thank you,
mark

Oh Lexar. Pass. I have lost footage of a pro video shoot. This card did not recover with the tools they provided and other very popular open source ones. I steer clear of Lexar these days.

I purchased 10 of them, and have so far used 4 of them between my K-3 and my wife's K-70. The write speed works great for my limited demands. They work great in some repeated 3 burst modes, and they accomodate the pixel shift mode where I think the hangup is the camera buffer speed, not the cards. I am very pleased with them.

When I was on Amazon yesterday I noticed they had gone up by $2.00 to $11.99 which is still not a bad deal, but not as good as they were.
