Best Memory Cards for Pentax K-S2

Here are our 2 best memory cards for the Pentax K-S2. It has 1 x SD memory card slot that supports UHS-I.

If you often shoot sports or just want to transfer your photos/videos to your computer quickly, you should get a fast and reliable memory card.

Our favorite memory card is the SanDisk Extreme PRO 64GB. It’s super fast (95MB/s) and affordable, plus SanDisk is the most reliable memory card company out there.

After looking through many memory cards available, these are the top 2 (best price/speed ratio).

Best Memory Cards for Pentax K-S2

SanDisk Extreme Pro 64GB

Our top pick: For the price, nothing beats the SanDisk PRO 64GB (95MB/s). It’s our most recommended card for almost all cameras, simply because it’s UHS-I U3 at 95MB/s and extremely reliable.

For the Pentax K-S2, it’s more than enough since the camera can shoot 5fps and records Full HD videos. This is a piece of cake for the SanDisk card.

Lexar Professional 1000x UHS-II

lexar-professional-64gb-1000x-u3The Lexar Professional 1000x 64GB is a UHS-II U3 card so while you won’t see any improved writing speeds in the camera itself, you will be able to transfer your shots to your computer much quicker.

No Pentax DSLR currently can take advantage of the faster UHS-II speeds. They will work normally, but top out at UHS-I speed, which is luckily fast enough for most uses anyways. For example, UHS-I cards are totally fine for even 4K videos and faster cameras than the K-S2.

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.
