I tested this card (rated at 300MB/s) against its young bro, the Lexa Professional SD Card rated at 95MB/s. Just to make the testing more interesting, I included a known slower Card, Class 10 Integral 20MB/s.So I took Photos using an Olympus EM 5 Mark 2 Mirrorless Systems Camera. OMD cameras show the Photo being written counting in seconds.IMAGE FORMAT-------------------1. In one test, the Camera was set to produce JPGs (the format for your Phone and point and shoot cameras). So the image is ready for use out of the Camera.2. In the other test, the Camera was set to write to the Card both JPGs and RAW* Images.So for each photo taken 2 images in different formats are written to the card.Average size-----------------------------------JPG = 8MBRAW = 13.5MBTHE RESULTS-----------------------1. Photo Quality: 16MP Superfine JPGLexar 2000X @ 300MB/s = instant ;Lexar 633X @ 95MB/S = 1s ;A Class 10 SD Card @ 20MB/s = 12s ;2. Photo Quality: 16MP Superfine JPG + RAWLexar 2000X @ 300MB/s = 2s ;Lexar 633X @ 95MB/S = 4s ;A Class 10 SD Card @ 20MB/s = 16s ;So as can be seen, there is clearly a use case for cards this fast. I once thought my Camera had a problem. I did not pay attention to the read/ write speeds so I went with the 20MB/s, my fastest being a 30MB/s. I have had to wait for up to 17 seconds before taking the next short. I was doing a Real Estate Photo Shoot. The faster card even shines when doing multiple shots like for HDR where the Camera takes several shots one at the right exposure and 1 or 2 below and above the correct exposure. There you see the slower cards really struggling.Sow my slowest Camera SD Card is 85MB/S and my productivity has massively improved. So the addition of this even faster card @ 300MB/s is a big leap. The transfer to the computer is also significantly faster especially that I am transferring to an SSD Drive as I transfer loads of photos from my SD cards to the PC.So I am happy with this Card but will update my review if it decides to wipe my smile as time matches on.* Raw images need processing (in applications like Photoshops) so they are like a digital negative. You then save the results as JPGs. With a Raw image, you can get superior JPGs even from Photos that were taken in extreme conditions such that the out of camera JPGs were unimpressive.

Lexar's Professional range of SDXC UHS-II cards at the time of review (May 2019) are eye-wateringly more expensive than the lesser speed SDHC & SDXC variants, so it really depends on your needs and budget to whether the UHS-II version is right for you.Firstly, whilst you can use this card with normal SDHC slots, unless your device fully supports UHS-II, you will not be utilising the super fast speeds as advertised.My Sony A7M3 has two card slots, the first slot being compatible with UHS-II, the second slot not compatible. I tested the card in both slots and it worked absolutely fine, however, when it was in slot 2, just as I had expected, the speed was reduced greatly.I also tested this card again another: Both of the same brand,except one is UHS-II and the other is not. During the test, they were both used in Slot 1 and shot in Raw in continuous high-speed burst mode; here are the results:• Non UHS-II: I managed to shoot 84 photos consecutively before it started slowing down and hit the buffer at 88 photos in total. Once I had let go of the shutter, it was buffering through 56 of the photos and took up to a minute to sort itself out.• USH-II: The buffer bar was barely dropping whilst shooting and I managed to shoot 188 photos before I decided to stop as there was no sign of it hitting the buffer limit. Upon letting go of the shutter, it only had to write 5 of the photos and it took seconds to finish.To get straight to the point: The write speeds you can get from this card is absolutely INSANE! These types of cards will be invaluable when it comes to photographers who shoot weddings and sports. Just ensure your memory card slot is fully compatible before going ahead with a purchase.

I use a variety of cards in digital photography and have found this Lexar Professional version to be reliable and have not suffered any losses of data, although I always take regular back-ups to the cloud for organisational purposes. I always select class 10 cards for best performance although the read and write speeds vary between brands significantly.This card offers reading speeds of up to 300MB/sec although write speeds are stated to be lower but are not actually quantified; what you actually achieve depends on your equipment but this is a high speed card.Basically the faster the write speed the better as this will affect how much data can be captured – too low a write speed and you may end up with grainy footage as some data might be lost.So the faster the write speed the better the chance you will record good video footage and not be disappointed when you transfer from camera to watch on the big screen.Write speeds also determine the extent of the time lag you may experience between taking photographs and switching between streams of video. Again, the faster the speed the better.I tend to alternate between 32GB and 64GB capacity cards as these provide sufficient storage for an avid photographer to spend at least a day out and about, shooting photographs and video to my heart’s content without running out of space. I try to balance the desire to get larger capacity cards and thus (usually) the most cost-effective storage with the potential risk of loss of data should I accidentally misplace the card.Note that Eco packaging currently means the card ships inside a wallet but without a plastic case; very easy to open but lacking any long term storage.

Lexar Professional 2000x 32GB SDHC UHS-II Card w/o USB 3.0 Reader [Eco-Friendly Packaging]The card.This arrives in a plastic card pack saying genuine Lexar. Amazon often use this packaging for memory cards so I have no suspicions that the card is a fake.Card features.This is a fast UH II card with write speeds of around 90 MB/s write and read speeds of up to 300 MB/s.In use.I put this card in my Panasonic G9 and have spent the day doing burst pictures in both RAW and JPEG plus 4K video to put it through its paces. I can conclude it is very fast with no lock ups or frame drops in the video. Everything worked well.The write speed was fine for burst mode and the video is smooth and detailed with no colour or write artefacts (I got strange artefacts on an older slower Sandisk card when using this camera).I reformatted it in my Nikon D800 and it performed equally as well in that camera. This camera produces huge RAW files and the card kept up with no problems.The card read back fine in my USB 3.0 card reader.Overall.I have only used the card for a day but it works well in both my cameras and I had no problems reading the data back. I have several slower Lexar cards and have never had a problem with them. It remains to be seen how reliable this card is over time – I will report back if I have any problems. I always format cards in the camera and not on the computer before using. I have had errors formatting cards on my PC before using them so only format in camera now. I know others that have had similar problem so if you run into problems make sure you format using your camera to see if the issues resolve.

Sandisk and Lexar have been my go to cards for years but recently there have various reports of quality issues with their cards. This is the second so-called eco-friendly packaging (surely dropping the cardboard and leaving the plastic is just the opposite!) card I've had from Amazon, the other being a Sandisk card which works fine so the budget package shouldn't be an issue.I've wanted a try a UHS-II card in my Fuji X-T2 for a long time so I was interested to see how it would perform. Before putting it in the camera however, I decided to insert and eject it from my Lexar USB-3 card reader multiple times. The intention was to see if the lock switch would break or jam as others have reported.After 20 in/out cycles the card seemed undamaged so I put it in the camera.To be honest, the only time you will see much writing difference with the faster cards is in burst mode where the camera needs to buffer images while waiting for the card to catch up. This isn't something I often do for my style of photography so if there was a major difference I didn't notice.However, when copying the raw files off the camera and onto my laptop via Lightroom I did notice that the files seemed to be moving off the card much faster than my UHS-1 cards. When you have a lot of images to transfer that is a real time saver.

The import take away from the alphabet of letters on the Lexar Professional 2000x 32GB SDHC UHS-II is UHS-II. At the moment these cards are more expensive than older cards; the benefits for those who like to shoot on full burst or record lots of 4k high bit rate video are two fold. Writing data away from a camera's buffer is sped up. Whilst a UHS I card like the sandisk ultra's i have a drawer full of write at up to 90mb/s UHS-ii cards like this lexar are rated at 260MB/s - that means you can shoot more - so long as your camera supports them. Happily my EOS-R does and the buffer time on Lexar Professional is noticably quicker on full speed shooting.It takes 5 fps for seconds longer than a UHS-i card does.There is then a payoff when you are done shooting; the download speeds to your computer are also MASSIVELY faster; using my lexar UHS-ii card reader i copied 30gb of files off at an average of 253 MB/s (the rating is 300MB/s.) That is twice as fast as a sandisk ultra; in one step you knock several minutes out of processing photos at the end of the day.That is where the value comes in; if you are a professional photographer; where time is money then the UHSii cards are definitely worth the extra expense. For your summer photos you will do just fine with a UHSi card until the prices come down.

U3 speed writing is recommended if you are frequently shooting in 4k. It's super fast minimum (and sustained) write speeds ensure there is no bottlenecking when writing data to the card - and 4k creates a lot of data. Of course, should you be capturing a lot of footage, then this 32GB option might not be large enough for your 4k needs. That said, almost all camcorders and action cams now use microSD cards, so it's likely this is going in to a decent spec camera.For cameras, those large RAW photo files would barelyt test the speeds of U3, although the faster you can record, the quicker you can take the next picture,. However, U1 has been plenty fast enough in the last couple of years.If upgrading from a U1 card you may not notice the difference in many cases. Although the write speed of a U3 card is 30MB/s vs the U1's 10MB/s, only in sports mode and burst shooting might you see the difference - I couldn't find any difference whilst using my high-end SLR.Where I can see the difference is transfer speeds. Make sure you are using a USB3 reader to be able to unlock the full speed though. I've used Lexar products without issue in the past and although I might not be seeing full value from this just yet, one thing for sure is that my technology will soon catch up.

In 2017, the then owners of the Lexar brand, Micron, announced that they were pulling out of the memory card business. Shortly after, the Lexar name was acquired by the Chinese flash memory company Longsys.I've been using older Lexar cards (from the Micron days) in my cameras when I photograph weddings and, so far, not had a failure. Initial comparisons between the old and new cards shows no discernable cosmetic or build-quality difference and the card is recognised straight away by my cameras and card reader.The 300Mb/s write speed of the 2000x range of cards is overkill for most photographic applications and more suited to high (or ultra-high) definition video, but I'd want a larger capacity card for that purpose.So,initial impressions are good, but I'll give it a proper test drive over a prolonged period and report back if I encounter any issues.

This was bought for my Olympus OM-D EM-1 MkII. I was told that these SD card would help improve transfer speeds to the card. If you think about the back of the card, there are brass coloured connectors at the bottom. This card twice has many connectors. This makes it transfer data in and out of the computer much faster. Much faster than I'm used to.This doesn't work with all cameras, however, so before you buy it, check you camera can utilise UHS-2 cards to this gain in speed, before you buy them, as they're a waste of time and money, if you can't use them.Because of this speed boost, they're a little pricey.. So you've got do decide the time gains, are worth the expense.If it isn't then the UHS-1 cards should/would be of greater use.

It is worth pointing out that although Lexar was originally an American brand, the original company no longer exists and they name was bough by a Chinese company in August 2017. I say this because any criticisms of performance of the brand prior to that are no longer relevant. This is a very fast card, but it needs a device that is UHS-II capable to take advantage of the speed and you only need that speed for certain uses - like taking a lot of photographs fast or for 4K video (although 32GB is really not enough for video). So far, the card lives up to expectations and I have had no problems with it.

Both my wife and I use the Fuji XT-2 having previously used the Canon 5d mk3. We have one of these cards in eack of the 2 slots on the camera and the speed it appears to write to card is very fast. It is far quicker than anything we could get using the Canon. I am not on about the frame rate, I definately mean the read to card rate. This means we can do multiple quick bursts without the card going into lag. We are even considering purchasing more simply because on some sporting events we know we can get though more than one card and would like to have a spare.

This is a blazingly fast card, it handles my X Pro 2 RAW files, very swiftly indeed. Both reading and writing to this card are fast, so I get no buffering issues with shooting bursts. Similarly, it imports into Lightroom at impressive speed.I'm no expert on SD cards, but the files from the Fuji's 24mp sensor are big, and I really haven't noticed, any difference, using this the the X-Pro 2. and the Sandisk Extreme SDXC I, processing the X-T1's 16mp sensor.In fact, I haven't got the patience, but I bet the SDHC II Lexar card, would win in any test. :-)

I read reviews and special comparisons where this card was put up against the Sony and Sandisk cards, which are very much more expensive. This card compared very favourably in those tests and when considered against the price difference I decided to go with this card.I am using it in a Sony A9, which shoots at around 20 fps. My non-technical review, based on use, is that the card is extremely fast. I am certainly happy with the results. I just wish that the A9 had two fast slots so that I could put another of these in my second card slot!

Having used SanDisk 240m/b sticks for the last two years, I took a leap of faith and purchased two of these and took them straight to a Wedding shoot. One card went into a D-SLR and one into a top end compact (DSLR style) camera.They certainly didn't let us down. We will need to do some finer analysis as to whether the image reproduction is as good as the SanDisk, but so far, the signs are good.The package; with the handy card reader and the far more competitive price than the equivalent SanDisk, makes this a very attractive buy!

The card is a Lexar but the Amazon packaging makes is look like some cheap fake. There is nothing on the package to reassure the purchaser that Lexar made this card. Its very fast and has 2 rows of contacts not found on slower SD cards. So to read/write on a computer at full speed you would need a compatible card reader. THIS IS NOT SUPPLIED and nowhere does Amazon compare the normal retail package which does have the reader with their own packaging. You can read the card in standard SD reader but at a lower speed.
