My favorite card for the past year or so has been the Lexar 2000X SDXC 64GB. It’s blazingly fast for downloads (and in the camera):

Lexar 2000X SDXC 64GB is now $78 ($17 instant savings).
But what also catches my eye is the new Lexar 2000X SDXC 128GB. With uncompressed raw on the Sony A7R II as well as 4K video, 64GB cards have been filling up on my trips at inconvenient times.
I’d much rather have 128GB cards than 64GB cards, but the price per GB is about 1.9X more costly, as is usual for the latest high-capacity cards.
Still, the 128GB cards make a lot of sense for someone who shoots like I do (a week or longer out in the field): I don’t like to have to erase any cards until everything is backed-up back at home, nor do I like having a video clip cut off abruptly because I wasn’t paying attention to capacity utilization. With a higher capacity card, the download speed becomes more important, so the Lexar 2000X SDXC cards are appealing.
