This is the "uprated" version of Sony's higher speed weather resistant SD cards, the first model was quite quick for read times (over 90MB/s) but somewhat below the comparable SanDisk extreme cards for write performance.Both cards look very similar, but take note of the "3" in the U box which is the newer faster speed rating (rather than the "1" number) I reviewed the original card and it was about 39-40MB/s this newer version tested quite a lot faster for the write times:Read: 87MB/sWrite: 60-62MB/sThere was some variation in speeds for read times (it got over 90MB/s in some tests) this is the average figure I came to. Write times were consistently on the specification of 60MB/s making this card on a par with the SanDisk Extreme PLUS,in fact a bit faster on read speeds (that card is rated 80MB/s read 60MB/s write) and it's slightly cheaper too.You don't get a case with the card it's in a "eco pack" The case material is strengthened over a normal SD card and resists shock, temperature, water and X-rays just like it's competitor. In camera performance was also excellent and buffer clearing times are a good bit improved over the first Sony model. One minor area where Sony could improve the warranty is 5 years, whilst I doubt many people return cards years after purchase some makers are offering lifetime warranties.To get the full benefit from this card you need a camera that is UHS (ultra high speed) compatible, though it will work with any device that can support the larger card size. The "U3" designation requires that a card meet a minimum of 30MB/s speed read/write this far exceeds that and is also rated for use with "4K" video capture. If you've been using the U1 Sony cards and felt the write performance wasn't as good as it might be, then this gives you a 50% boost in write speeds and it's quite noticeable especially if you do a lot of action and hit the camera buffer frequently. Sony do have a 90MB/s (write) card out there which I have yet to test, but the speed of this is likely fast enough for many without attracting the price premium some of the fastest SD cards do. A solid card it's fast, well made and an attractive price. Recommended

This card is rated at class 10 but also has the UHS (1) rating which requires a minimum read/write time of 10MB/s. In reality the Sony far exceeds that speed for read times, and by a reasonable margin for writing data too.I tested the Sony card in a USB 3.0 card reader (two makes Kingston and Lexar some variation in speeds between both but not by much)Read speed: 77MB/sWrite speed: 20 MB/sRead speeds varied in tests between 70-80+ MB/s, write speeds were from 17 to just over 20MB/sCompared to a Fuji class 10 card (non UHS) the read times are much quicker, and the write speeds a bit faster too (the Fuji is above average for a class 10 and reads at around 22MB/s and writes about 15-16MB/s sometimesa tad higher)In camera buffer clearing times were a bit quicker than the Fuji (with a camera that can take advantage of UHS cards) The rating Sony gives states 40MB/s * (the * means up to 40MB/s read speed) I'd prefer more transparent speeds from the maker, but as the card is much quicker for read times (with a USB 3.0 reader) not much to complain about really, just don't expect 40MB/s write times (Sony do a faster card that offers this)20MB/s is fast enough for most, though if you are doing a lot of burst shooting then I'd suggest something that writes at 40MB/s or higherFor a normal camera this is quite good value, and fast enough to not feel bogged down in camera. Whilst the read speeds don't get a lot of attention, if you shoot a lot of HD video or raw then transfer times can be fairly lengthy having a fast read time can be of some use. Speeds are improving all the time but this model offers a decent balance between price/performance. I would say it's not worth bothering with class 4 or 6 cards just stick to cards like this.As a bonus the card is shock, dust, temperature, water/x-ray proof and the casing is hardened and feels more robust than a standard SD case. Whilst I've not abused any of my SD cards over time a few of them have had damage to the casing so it's nice to see that here. A decent card not super fast but pretty fast and very fast read times make this a good buy at this price point v normal class 10 cards.

I've used one of these cards in my Sony A6000 for a few months, which isn't enough to ascertain its long-term reliability, but is enough to see how much of a read / write speed-boost it could give over the Class 6 Fuji card I had been using. The A6000 is capable of shooting at up to 11 frames per second, but the images couldn't be written to the old card quick enough to take full advantage, producing something of a `stutter' after 10 or so shots.With a stated write speed of 45MB/s (the 94 MB/s denotes the read speed), the Class 10 Sony should be some way faster than the Fuji, although the reality is a bit different. Using the h2testw speed test program,I managed to get a write speed of only 14MB/s and a read speed of just over 16 MB/s. While the read speed isn't overly important to me, the write speed was quite disappointing, at less than one-third of stated. Of course the proof of the pudding is in the eating, but I have to say that I really can't see much difference, if any, between the Sony and my old Fuji card in my A6000.On the plus side, the Sony card seems reliable and I've had no problems with it in my camera since I bought it, but the same could be said of pretty much every SD card I've bought. In short, it's a good enough card but don't believe the stated read / write speeds and don't rely on them if you need a fast card. This begs the question, do all SD card manufacturers exaggerate their card speeds or is this one just particularly exaggerated?

Six weeks isn't long enough to test this for the attributes for which I bought it, but it is fitted in an outdoor security camera and I am not going up a ladder every few days to check it. After reading other reviews I bought this card from a maker I would not normally think of going to because it was said to be fast enough for HD video in a security camera, and because it has claims to be temperature resistant and waterproof. I have had it out once to check it was recording perfectly and simply slotted it back in and left it to do its job a backing-up the camera. On the current settings it is holding about eight days of video which is more than expected and is probably down to a slightly lower quality setting.There is not really much more to say, other than I am confident on this early experience to let the card get on with its job until the next time I have the ladders out for something other task.

HA HA! Purchased to extend Hubbys' tablet memory as he was running out of space. Spent ages teaching ourselves how to get all the info from tablet onto old 16gb card, then getting it from 16gb sd onto laptop, then from laptop onto new 32gb card & finally from 32gb card back onto tablet, whole adventure was a complete success. Then figured I'd use the 16gb sd to put in my camera as I only had a tiny one in that, only to discover on insertion that the 16gb sd was in actual fact a 32gb sd card after all, so basically went through all of that trouble just to transfer files from one 32gb card to another 32gb card! DUH!!! Oh well, at least we learned something in the process & now at least the tablet has a Sony sd instead of the previous generic one,not sure if it makes a difference, but hey, gotta justify the time wasted & expense somehow! :o)

Bought this as I found it at a great price (under £8) and I have just purchased a Sony A6000. So far, in just over a week of use, this card has worked well. My camera takes 20-24mp photos, depending on whether in 3:2 or 16:9, and in jpg mode it can hold around 3,900 photos or about 1 hour of 1080p video in mp4.I have used in burst mode a few times and had no problem with a couple of shirt bursts of 11 frames per sec in quick succession. There was no noticeable delay with writing to the card. Video recording also seems to work well, although so far I only took short clips for a minute or two.Although the price seems to have now returned to a more typical range (£20-22) I would still recommend this card,especially if you have a Sony camera.

I bought these mainly for the specification, and you really need them if you want to record 4K videos on your camera, in fact they are essential if you are recording 4K.I have become a fan of Sony SD and Pro Duo cards, having purchase quite a few over the years, and never had a problem with any of them, so I think they are well worth the money.The last thing you want is to think you have recorded a video, only to find that it wasn't recorded, and if that happens, invariably you don't get a second chance to video the event again, hence a good reliable card is essential.

Ok, people really expect to get 94mb/s speeds, come on, use your brains, to get that speed you need an extremely fast computer with a fast hard drive and that hard drive has to have 75% free space i'd say. On my Intel i5 quad core desktop I got read speads of 45mb/s andf write speeds of 29mb/s which is reasonably damn fast. Most people will NEVER get the rated speeds on any card, if you think you will then you're naive. I don't care what this card's RRP price is, on Amazon it's less than £15 and for this price I think it's brilliant value.

I've been using this now for several months now and I cannot fault it, I'm a YouTuber and I use it inside my Sony CX625 camcorder. I must say that I have been very impressed with this memory card; its fast and reliable and transferring files onto my computer is a speedy process. In fact so impressed that I have bought an extra one as a "back up".It comes with a "Step Up" adaptor which allows it to be used as a full size memory card which is great as it can go inside my second (compact) camera.

I purchased the Sony 16GB Class 10 UHS-1 Secure Digital SDHC Memory Card for my Sony camera. Although there are many makes of SDHC Memory Cards, I preferred to invest slightly more money into a much faster and certainly compatible card by Sony.From my previous experience of SDHC Memory Cards in cameras, it made sense to invest in a fast card. I was continually frustrated at the time it took my previous camera to process an image with only 25% of memory used causing lost shot opportunities.

First of all I prefer to buy Sony products when priced within my budget. The card I had before got damaged so I went for a larger memory. The thing I like about this card is the processing time which is very fast. My camera is a Sony Cyber shot with 3D options and it work very well in it. The card I had before, after taking a snap there was a few seconds delay due to the slow processing but with the new card there is no wait.I am very pleased with my buy. The perfect card for my camera.

No issues with these, they work very well. The 94mb/s is read speed, approx 45 write speed. Some newer dslrs (mine is nikon d7100) need faster write speed than this to get the best out of them. I bought sandisk extreme pro whose write speed is 90 ish according to specs and the camera cleared the buffer faster. This is not to say the sonys are not good but if you really need more speed it is possible to get faster cards than these. For most things though, top marks

I was looking for a Sony 16GB SD card for my Sony camera & managed to find one without paying too much. Reliable & trustworthy make & brand since I have two other SD cards which are Sony. All Sony cards still work well & still have all the image data is still there although SD cards are not designed for data storage they are still working to this day. I will buy 32GB soon once this card is used...............highly recommended.

I admit to buying a number of SD cards and testing their read and write speeds with some software. I even have a table of all my cards and this card is one of the faster cards I now own (Lexar, Samsung, Panasonic, Sandisk, Fujifilm).For the price, this Sony card is excellent value and its write speed (which I think is more critical than read speed) is one of the fastest class 10 I own.I will be buying some more after this.
