p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Which memory card?

I currently got my hands on an A7R and I'm loving using it.
However, I have a San Disk 32gb SDHC I 45mb*.
Will there be a different if I "upgrade" to the Transcend 64GB High Speed 10 UHS-3 95/60 or the Toshiba 32GB EXceria SDHC Type 2 95/60 and which one should I get?

Not sure if you've purchased yet, but I have the 32GB SanDisk Extreme Pro 95mb here:

http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Extreme-Frustration-Free-Packaging--SDSDXPA-032G-AFFP/dp/B007NDL56A/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1403104839&sr=1-1&keywords=sandisk+Extreme+Pro+SD+32gb

Have no experience with Transcend or Toshiba, but I've been using SanDisk for over 10 years and never had a card go bad on me. ok, back...had to find wood to knock on.

The SanDisk 32GB is cheaper than the Transcend 64GB, but half the size. That being said, I'd rather have a smaller card that I would offload daily rather than shooting a few days worth on a 64GB card, and find a problem.

I did a bunch of research for SD card speeds, and came across this before buying, but upgraded to the Pro instead of the Plus card: http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-sd-card/

Wouldn't the extra speed only affect download time? And even then, not by much?

Is the A7r that dog slow in clearing the buffer.

Is your current SD card not fast enough? I was considering the same one for my Sony A6000.

It was a speed 10. I thought the extra speed would help with the fast shots and help the buffer. I don't see much of a difference.
