What's a great memory card for the 7D Mark II

Hello:

What kind of memory card do you recommend for the 7D Mark II?

What are some of the things that I need to look for when purchasing memory cards?

Thanks,

David

Just check the manual for the minimum "class" required. Other than that, it is your brand preference.

I went with 32 GB Sandisk Extreme Pro for both the SD and the CF card.

When buying memory card buy from a reputable seller like 'sold by Amazon'. Avoid eBay, and 3rd party sellers as there are counterfeit cards (cheap slow cards with fake labels of faster cards).
