The Fujifilm X-T10 was released in 2012 and features 1 x SD memory card slot that supports UHS-I.
You don’t really need the fastest memory card for it since it’s got a very small buffer (10 JPEGs, 7 RAW files) and can record in Full HD, which is no problem for today’s memory cards. With that in mind, you still want a reliable card from a trusted brand that won’t make you wait before taking shots after shots.
Our favorite Fujifilm X-T10 memory card is the SanDisk Extreme PRO 64GB. It’s cheap, UHS-I U3 and is usually the fastest card for every camera out there.
After looking through many memory cards available, these are the top 3 (best price/speed ratio).
Best Fujifilm X-T 10 Memory Cards
- SanDisk Extreme PRO UHS-I (95MB/s)
- Lexar Professional 2000x UHS-II (300MB/s)
- Lexar Professional 1000x UHS-II (150MB/s)
What to Remember about Memory Cards
Here are a couple key things to remember when purchasing a SD memory card.
- ALWAYS buy more than one SD card
- Memory cards don’t last forever
- If you run out of space in the middle of shooting you have another card to pop in
- Have two to four cards so you can setup a rotation between what’s in your camera and what you’re loading to your computer.
- Card size isn’t as important as buying more than one card
- Card capacity is nice but having a backup card(s) is much more valuable for real life
- If you must, skip a meal rather than buy a cheap SD card
- A bad memory card is going to slow down the ability to use your camera to its fullest
- The card failing unexpectedly can also have dire consequences
If you want to learn more our partner site, Best Photography Gear, provides a thorough review of the different memory card brands, terms, & expressions out there. They break it down so it’s easy to understand the differences so you can select the right one.
SanDisk Extreme Pro 64GB
Our top pick: You won’t find anything better than the SanDisk Extreme Pro 64GB (95MB/s) for such a low price. It’s our most recommended card for almost all cameras, simply because it’s UHS-I U3 at 95MB/s and extremely efficient, constantly reaching high writing and reading speeds.
It’s fast enough for sports and videos.

Lexar Professional 2000x UHS-II
The Lexar Professional 2000x is currently the fastest SD card you can get. However, since it’s UHS-II and the X-T10 can’t take the advantage of the extra speed, you will only see the benefit when transferring your files to the computer (it will be much faster). If that’s worth over twice the money, it’s up to you to decide, but if you often transfer hundreds of images or plan on upgrading in the following years, it might not be such a bad idea.
In-camera, it will be just as fast as the SanDisk above simply because the X-T10 tops out at UHS-I speed.

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.) but not in-camera.

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.
