SanDisk Extreme Pro 32 GB SDHC Class 10 95 MB/s Memory Card

this card is brilliant if you want to boost your read/writing speed. However, if you put it on cameras like D3000, Canon 1000D then you will notice only slight difference because even though the memory card is extremely fast, the Camera buffer and image processor might be slow. Although, it will slightly improve the speed when you shoot frames on continuous mode. But mid range cameras like 5D mark II, D7000, D90 where the processor is much better to compensate the speed of the memory card, this is the one you need to go for. Also, its better if you buy 2 of these instead of one 16GB. Just incase the loss of memory card or if it gets corrupted, you don't want to loose 16Gb of data no? :) You also get a free membership to the sandisk software which can be used to recover data incase something goes wrong on the memory card.

Note: The read/write speed of a memory card depends on the camera hardware and the type of USB port used. I am using this SD card in my Nikon D7100. The average uncompressed (14 bit) RAW file produced by my camera is around 30MB at full resolution (24MP). This card writes 3 RAW files per second in Continuous Shooting (burst) mode after my camera buffers fills up. That translates to a write speed of 90MB/s. When I transfer the photos from the camera to my PC, I don't get the full read speed since the camera uses a USB 2.0 port. But I am sure if it is tested with a USB 3.0 card reader, it can hit its max speed easily. I got this card for really cheap at Rs.2.5k when Flipkart was giving a 5% discount. An advice to DSLR users: Before buying this card I would recommend you to read or watch any hands on review on the net whether your camera is capable of writing at such high speed to SD card. If its not, you may go for the 45MB/s SD card which is less than half the price of this card.

Excellent product and reliable delivery. In fact, it's the only product that has this god writing speed. However, given the price, just make sure that you actually need this speed. I bought it for the camera. Assuming that the camera gives say, 6 fps speed; you are shooting raw with average file size of say 15MB; and that the camera has say, 3 seconds of buffer - you actually will need this card (rather than Extreme version!) if you are shooting continuously for more than 6-7 seconds! If I am shooting for that much time, then I would rather shoot movie than stills. So, bottom-line, buy this only if you are filming in HD Raw. But if you are such a pro, then would your camera take SD card or CF or some other media?
