Best Memory Cards for Fujifilm X-Pro2

The Fujifilm X-Pro2 has 2 x SD memory cards and the second one supports UHS-II interface, while the first is limited to UHS-I speed. Seeing as the camera can shoot at 8fps and has a relatively big buffer (both JPEG and RAW), it’s a good idea to get a UHS-II card that’s fast enough for burst shooting or videos.

Our favorite memory card is the Lexar Professional 2000x UHS-II 64GB. It’s UHS-II U3 so you’ll reach the best possible speeds with the X-Pro2, which is a must for 4K videos and burst shooting.

After looking through many memory cards available, these are the top 3 (best price/speed ratio).

Best memory cards for Fujifilm X-Pro2

• Lexar Professional 2000x UHS-II (300MB/s)
• SanDisk Extreme PRO UHS-I (95MB/s)
• Lexar Professional 1000x UHS-II (150MB/s)

Lexar Professional 2000x UHS-II

Our top pick:  If you want the best of the best, check out the Lexar Professional 2000x. It’s UHS-II U3 and is currently your best option if you want the maximum speed with the X-Pro2. If you often shoot sports or any fast movement and don’t wait to wait for the buffer to clear, you should get it. If not, get any of the two cards below.

It even comes with a USB 3.0 reader, as well as Image Rescue software that can help recover your lost photos. Definitely a great deal for the money, but more expensive than both slower cards below.

SanDisk Extreme Pro 64GB

For the price, the SanDisk Extreme Pro 64GB (95MB/s) is hard to beat. We recommend it for all UHS-I cameras, but since the X-Pro2 can go as high as UHS-II with the second slot, it’s our second choice only if you want to save some money and don’t really care about burst shooting and can wait a longer time when transferring the files to your computer, it’s a perfect choice.

Lexar Professional 1000x UHS-II

The Lexar Professional 1000x 64GB is a slower, more affordable version of the card above. Instead of 300MB/s, it tops out at 150MB yet is still UHS-II U3 so the minimum will always be 30MB/s.

It’s less expensive than the SanDisk but it’s a fraction slower, despite being UHS-II. You will notice an improvement in read speeds (aka moving the images, displaying files etc.)

Stick to Lexar, SanDisk, Transcend and Sony cards and you’ll be fine. Don’t ever buy a cheap, random card as you’ll probably lose your photographs soon.

Don’t buy memory cards from unknown brands or something that looks too good to be true. More often than not, those cards will fail right when you’ll need them the most.

A memory card is where all of your work is stored until you transfer that on the computer.

Make sure to get a card from any of the following brands: SanDisk, Lexar, Transcend and Kingston. There are a few good out there, but the 5 we mentioned are more than enough.
