Here is a quick summary of the top 5 fastest memory cards—or, more accurately, the memory cards that perform the best overall given their cost. The X-T100 can accept cards up to 256GB in size, so you can purchase larger cards than the ones I tested in the camera. However, I believe that 64GB is the ideal combination of size and cost for a camera of this caliber.
The Fujifilm XT100 did exceptionally well in terms of a memory card write rates for an entry-level camera. Overall performance was excellent with the majority of the GPUs, despite the buffer being a touch tiny and the continuous frame rate is a little low.
Delkin and Kingston underperformed in front of this camera for whatever reason. I’m not sure why they might not have gotten along well (dirty contacts). In Fujifilm cameras, both of those brands typically operate excellently, but who knows — the X-T100 has a different CPU and sensor.
Additionally, PNY makes a good card. I haven’t had any problems with them yet, but occasionally they have quality control concerns.
I strongly advise 64GB cards because they are currently so reasonably priced. You won’t have to worry about running out of capacity if you use a 64GB card to shoot and record some video. On the other hand, if you’re fastidious about wiping your cards clean, 32GB should be more than plenty for the ordinary user.
