you really need to read the read/write speeds of the specs. these days the marketing depts like to advert the reads because the are the least power intensive and "faster" spec.

I'm about to get a 36 mp camera and want to get the fastest SD card and prefer Sandisk.

Any recommendations on a good card, even if it's not a screaming deal?

currently the sandisk extreme pro SD
capable of:
•Max. Read Speed: 95MB/s
•Max. Write Speed: 90MB/s

that does not necessarily mean the camera can/will deliver such performance

From my experience the performance specs are all lies. I've never had any card hit the stated specs, and I've tried on multiple readers and cameras.

I was using Sony Class 10 UHS 1 blah blah cards for a while and they were terrible, couldn't shoot more than about 3-4 shots continuous in RAW. Then thanks to FM member recommendations I got Lexar Professional 600x, which also says the same Class 10 UHS 1 blah blah, and the Lexar speed blew the Sony cards out of the water.

Haven't tried SanDisk, but forget the specs and look for solid customer reviews by photographers using it on RAW in continuous mode.

As mentioned above the Sandisk Extreme Pro are still the fastest SD cards, but much faster cards are on the horizon.

yes they are fastest on paper/capability but how they work in your particular camera is
the real world and that can vary quite a bit.
