If you didn't catch the deal on B&H, they are currently offering a bundle (2) pack of Sony 16GB SDHC Class 10 UHS-I media cards from $31.99 + Free shipping in the USA. This UHS-I classification also gives the cards blazing-fast maximum read speeds of 94MB/s. Check it out following the link (Click Here).

Post author@apostolos - Go with the recommended for those high bitrate hacks. Sandisk are great cards.

I'm interested in cards that would work well with the hacked GH2. And Vitaly in general recommends the Sandisk Extreme Pro with 95 mb/s read/write. Sandisk has a version with 45 mb/s write speeds closer to the Sony price I believe.

Post author@apostolos - They both have two ratings, and the Sandisk is a bit deceiving. They are both rated with a 'Class 10' and a 'UHS Class 1', offering up to 95MB/s read and 90MB/s write speeds.
The Sony Product specifications are defined more 'clearly' than what Sandisk has listed (a bit deceiving). Here's a quote from the Sony Spec:

If I'm not mistaken these are only 45 mb/s write speed, unlike the Sandisk Extreme Pro that's 95 read and write.

it's a great deal!
but i have one advice for those who are looking for this kind of card to use with raised bitrate on your canon with magic lantern installed. i have one from sandisk and it doesn't allow me to shoot with higher bitrate ratio than 1.3x

That's pretty cheap and fast. Anybody ever use Sony SD cards? Seems like they put all of their r&d into that stupid memory stick format so I wonder about these.
