[QUOTE="DonnieZ, post: 501494, member: 40831"] Looking to pick up some new SD cards for my newly acquired D7100. Right now I have a hodgepodge of sizes and speeds that I've acquired over the years - generally with an emphasis on price when buying. I shoot raw, and tend to shoot all types of photos - lots of family stuff and some of my family members play sports - so I might be in "spray and pray" mode some of the time. I want cards that are going to give me the best chance to empty the buffer as quickly as possible while still being reliable. However, I don't want to pay for cards that have speed capabilities that the D7100 just can't handle. [URL="http://d7100.org/2013/03/sd-card-speed-comparison-for-nikon-d7100/"]This article at D7100.org [/URL] seems to list the 95MB/sec cards as being the fastest the D7100 will be able to take advantage of, however the article is a bit dated. If I spend the extra coin on the new 150MB/sec cards will I see a benefit or is the camera only able to write at a certain speed? Given that this camera now has two SD slots, I'm going to take advantage and write raw to both. There seems to be a significant price difference between the 95MB/sec and the 150MB/sec cards and given I'd like to buy 4-8 of them it adds up. Thanks for any advice! [/QUOTE]
