Best UHS-II SD Memory Cards for Canon EOS RP
The toughest and fastest SD cards are the Sony SF-G Tough Series UHS-II Memory Cards – they can achieve maximum read speeds of up to 300 MB/s and maximum write speeds of up to 299 MB/s. Thanks to its V90 speed class rating, minimum write speeds are guaranteed not to drop below 90 MB/s. The Sony SF-G UHS-II Cards have the same ultra-fast maximum read speeds of up to 300 MB/s and maximum write speeds of up to 299 MB/s and it is well-suited for video capture.
