I'm assuming you meant memory card and not SIM card.

Your camera can use SD, SDHC and SDXC cards.  Recommend SDXC.  Though avoid UHS-II varieties as the R50 can only work with UHS-I (see page 21 in the User Guide for details).

Stick with reputable brands and purchase from reputable dealers (e.g. Amazon may have counterfeit cards if you're not careful).  I personally get my cards from B&H Photo.  For UHS-I cards, I've used SanDisk.

When looking at specs on the card, the most important value will be the "V" rating (sustained writes).  The theoretical read speed (which most manufacturers place on the card as the most prominent value) really only helps when transfering data off of it.
