Couple of newbie questions on memory cards:
1) I've seen many generic numbers quoted, but all without any qualifiers. On a 5100, at full resoltiuion, how many pics will a 16GB card hold in RAW format? In JPG format?
2) Even If I stick with Class 10, there is a very wide range of speeds available to me. Conventional wisdom to me has always been get the highest quality card (pics can be priceless) and get fastest the device can handle. So for my first SD card purchase, went with a 95GB/s Sandisk (still sealed) .. was this overkill or the right move? My options are something like this:
3) Compounding the matter more was that I really wanted an eye-fi memory card... but I dont think these exist in a fast Class 10 format.

- LEXAR CLASS 10 133 X up to 20 mb.sec
- LEXAR CLASS 10 400 up to 60 mb.sec
- SANDISK 16GB EXTREME PRO SDHC UHS1 up to 45 mb/s
- SANDISK 16GB EXTREM PRO SDHC up to 95MB/S 633X
