Why Speed is King for Burst Photography 📸

When you hold down that shutter button, your camera captures a rapid sequence of images, filling up an internal memory buffer. A high-speed memory card's job is to clear that buffer as quickly as possible so you can keep shooting. The key spec to watch is the minimum sustained write speed.

For photographers using burst mode, a card's write speed determines how many high-resolution RAW photos you can take before the camera slows down. A slow card creates a bottleneck, leaving you waiting while the perfect moment passes. This is where choosing the right SDXC card for burst shooting makes all the difference, especially for action, sports, or wildlife photography.

Decoding SDXC Card Specs

Navigating the sea of symbols on a memory card can be confusing. Let's break down what matters for finding the best SDXC cards for burst photography.

• Speed Class (V rating): Look for the 'V' number. V30 (30MB/s minimum write speed) is a great starting point for 4K video and decent burst shooting. For serious action photographers, V60 or V90 cards are the gold standard, ensuring your camera buffer clears almost instantly.
• UHS Bus Speed: UHS-I is common and affordable, while UHS-II offers significantly faster transfer speeds thanks to an extra row of pins (if your camera supports it).
• Capacity (SDXC): SDXC (Secure Digital eXtended Capacity) simply means the card has a capacity of 64GB or more, giving you ample space for thousands of RAW files. A card like the Kingston Canvas Go! Plus 128GB offers a fantastic balance of speed and capacity for most users.
