Seems to be. Empty shelves for this and a USB stick @ Figtree NSW.
Is there much out there that uses SD cards these days?
Well.. every digital camera that isn't a GoPro-style or pro-level DSLR uses one. Consumer DSLRs, the Sony mirrorless cameras, micro 4/3rds etc all use SD cards.
Even the pro DSLRs use SD now. The later 5D's have CF+SD; the D850 has CF+SD; the A9 takes SD (and MS if you can find one of those).
Oh yeah, forgot about DSLRs. Mine uses dual CFs.
Careful though, it is a relatively slow card.
Max. Read Speed: 45 MB/s
Max. Write Speed: 20 MB/s
Plenty fast enough for non-pro DSLRs for taking photos and don't really care about video.
It should work fine for full HD video and consumer 4K devices too. 20MB/s is about 160Mbps. Consumer FHD is usually up to 27Mbps. 4K usually up to around 60Mbps.
Correct. The read and write speed of this card is actually similar to the popular Samsung EVO micro SD card which I have used to shoot 60Mbps video on my Phantom 3 drone.
Yep, should work fine on devices. I just find it annoying moving large amounts to the computer at that speed.
Still $6 in Perth in Woolies (if you can find stock).
Is this specific to this store? Or available nationwide?
