    I'd say Lexar is the more popular brand amongst professional photogs with Sandisk second. Samsung has been a more consumer brand.

    Quality wise I'd take it over the Sandisk extreme card of the same speed but that's a personal thing.

      Sandisk is more popular.

      UHS-I series SD cards are no longer the fastest. UHS-II cards are (assuming you get the fastest UHS-II series card), but only a small number of cameras support UHS-II native (others can still use them, but in UHS-I). Lexar is owned by Micron (one of the top 3 memory manufacturers). Micron's SSD brand is Crucial. The Sandisk equivalent (which is also rated 95MB/s read) is faster in write speed.

      The write speed is generally important for photographers. SD card manufacturers can come up with a fast read but slow write card. For example, even for UHS-II cards, Lexar has 2 series. While UHS-II cards have faster read, only one of the two series has the write speed that's faster than the fastest UHS-I card.

      4k recording requires cards to be UHS 3. Anything slower can't write data fast enough. More info here

        Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this one that I posted UHS 3.

        @Jase2801:

        You're right actually, this card is UHS3. Wasn't looking into product details when I made the comment. Maybe Orpheus might be able to provide personal experience/other info?

        @IceCreamBandit:
        Write speed 45 MB/s seems low for a uhs3 card, but should be ok for 4k, unless your camera is picky.

        Heres some good resources:
