Rated 5 out of 5

Perfect for 4K footage !

If your camera is doing 4k this card gets the job done. Haven't gotten to a full card yet and it allows me to get all the broll and interview footage I need before dumping it to the hard drive at the end of the day.

Very dependable card.

Very dependable card. It reads and writes properly even in my old Acer Trevelmate with somewhat corroded contacts from living in a boat. Which is not the case with both Lexar and Transend. They both fail to read and write in the old computer.

The card died

I had 750+ pics on my card using my Leica and the card stopped being recognized by my camera and laptop. Some component in the card failed. $ later for data recovery I get half my photos restored. Kingston replaced the card but nothing for data recovery.. Not recommended..

Faster speeds to capture 4K2K HD video.

Move to faster performance with Kingston's SDHC/SDXC UHS-I U3 Flash card. With speeds of 90MB/s read and 80MB/s write, it reads up to 9x faster and writesup to 8x faster than standard Class 10 SD cards. It meets the SD Association's latest specification release, UHS-I U3 (Ultra High-Speed Bus, Speed Class 3), which guarantees performance of at least 30MB/s and enough bandwidth to record and playback 4K2K video without interruption.

Users can capture cinema-quality Full HD (1080p), Ultra HD (2160p), 3D and 4K2K videos on high-performance cameras such as Digital Single Lens Reflex (D-SLR), Digital Single Lens Mirrorless (D-SLM), camcorders and video cameras. It's idealfor television recordings as well as live broadcasts, plus it lets you edit files faster and provides faster upload times, especially when using USB 3.0 card readers. Its higher sustained write speeds ensure video integrity by reducing stutter andallow photographers to shoot in continuous burst mode.

Available in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB capacities, SDHC/SDXC UHS-I U3 lets users record more video without changing cards and lets photographers shoot highdensity image files, such as RAW or JPEG, without running out of space.
