Review on πŸ’Ύ 128GB Lexar Professional 1000x SDXC UHS-II Card by Mikey Shook

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Slow and unreliable for Olympus cameras.

I bought two of these cards for my em10.2, em5.2 and Pen F. Both are slow: writing RAW + LN jpg takes 6 to 15 seconds. I reformatted these cards and they are still pretty slow. One of the cards fell out while I was on vacation in Germany; I easily recovered all 4000 photos using recovery software. I make backups everyday using my phone's wireless connection, so I find it unreliable storage. Since then, one or maybe both cards have failed half a dozen times. With other people reporting good usage, I'm wondering if I'm misusing these cards. My other cards from other manufacturers, supposedly slower, are always faster. In general, slower speeds don't bother me when shooting single shots, but I like scratching the screen on the first shot to check exposure and white balance, so waiting for a 15 second shot is annoying. I still use them but am phasing them out for other brands.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Operating speed
