Lexar 1000x is the one to have. none faster at the moment. My 1Dx works a treat with these at 12fps

The speed of the card is only relevant once you fill the camera's buffer. If you shoot sports or press, then yes, get the fastest card you can, otherwise, if you shoot only a couple of frames at a time, save money and just get any quality brand. Even with the Lexar 1000X card, once the buffer is full, your FPS will drop to around 1.5fps with RAW.


With JPEG you'll be able to shoot flat out (almost) until the card is full.

OUch them 1000x cards are not cheap even for 7day shop but if they are the right card it may be worth it £88 16gb
