[QUOTE="§am, post: 106549, member: 9187"] Generally the faster your card the better it is, and you need a minimum recommended Class 6 anyway. The D5100 however is UHS-1 compatiable (minimum 50MB/s write), and all current UHS-1 cards are at least a backwards compatiable Class 10 card. The Sandisk Extreme is rated at 45MB/s write, and the Extreme Pro you linked to at 95MB/s. Now here's the interesting question... the D5100 will detect a UHS-1 card, and there theoretically use the 50MB/s write speed available to it. If you stick an Extreme Pro card in, are you gaining the benefit of the 95MB/s speed at all, or is the camera 'dumbing' down to the UHS-1 speed of 50MB/s?? If the later, then unless you're gonna use the card in some other non UHS-1 device, it's not worth paying the extra money for, and you ould just get away with an Extreme card (or possibly even the Sandisk Ultra (although that is only a Class 10 30MB/s card).
