I just picked up a Sony RX100 III. I'm looking at getting a 64GB capacity SD card but not really sure what reading/writing speeds I will need to have the best experience taking photos and video. Any advice and card recommendations and any current deals would be very helpful. Thanks!

    SDXC Class 10 should be used if you plan on shooting burst in RAW.

    I have the same camera and this is the card I ordered:

    It currently has a 32GB Samsung SDHC Class 10 which shoots still photos without issues. I haven't tested out video though so can't really comment on that.

    I recommend the same card linked above. I have one and it works flawlessly.

    64gig is a minimum requirement for being able to shoot in some of the higher quality video modes.

    On the spec sheet, "64GB or Larger Class10/UHS-I SD Card Required for XAVCS Recording".

    Happy Shooting 😉

    Thanks for the replies. Do you know what the difference between U1 and U3 rating is?

    Officeworks has the same card linked above but for $186!!??
