Best Memory Cards for Fujifilm X-T2

The Fujifilm X-T2 has 2 x SD memory cards that support UHS-II interface. This is great news since you’ll be able to use the fastest cards we have today. UHS-II results in both faster image writing, as well as way faster transferring your files to the computer.

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-T2, 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-T2

• 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-T2 (around 150MB/s)). For lots of burst shooting, 4K videos and much faster file transferring, you’ll love it.

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-T2 can go as high as UHS-II, it’s our second choice only if you want to save some money and don’t really care about 4K videos, or are okay with longer transferring files.

The writing speed with the X-T2 comes at around 80MB/s.

Lexar Professional 1000x UHS-II

The Lexar Professional 1000x 64GB is a slower, more affordable version of the first card. 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.
