Best Memory Cards Fujifilm X-E4

Fujifilm X-E4 Recommended Memory Cards

Best SD Card Fuji X-E4

This list has few great SD memory card recommendations for the Fujifilm X-E4.

The Fujifilm X-E4 uses a single card UHS-I card.

For Stills Shooters: Sandisk has always been the go-to brand and one of the top sellers and best cards, but lately, the new Sony E card is also a nice option if you want some faster transfer speeds to your computer with a UHS-II reader.

The Delkin Black card is a tougher build which is working well with Fujifilm cameras, and the new Kingston Canvas Go! cards are also performing really well in camera.

For Video Shooters: Photographers that also shoot a lot of videos might like bigger cards with faster transfer speeds so something like a Sony M or ProGrade V60 is a great option here. These also work well for cameras like the Fujifilm X-Pro3 or X-T4 if you’re pairing up the X-E4 with something like that.

You can’t go wrong with any of these cards, so check sales and the price and go with the best deal, but know that all you really need for the Fujifilm X-E4 is a UHS-I card that is U3 rated.

Must-Have Accessories Fuji X-E4

 

Best Memory Cards Fujifilm X-E4

Before buying any memory card for the X-E4 you should know the basic requirements and specs in order to not buy more than you need.

The Fujifilm X-E4 has only a UHS-I single card slot. You can buy UHS-II cards and use them but they won’t offer any benefit to in-camera speeds or reliability. Some photographers and videographers like to still use UHS-II cards for faster write speeds from the card to a computer with a UHS-II card reader.

For shooting video with the X-E4, the 4k bitrate can record up to 200Mbps which is 25MB/s. This means you will need at least a U3 memory card to shoot 4k video reliably on the X-E4.

Even if you shoot 100Mbps, you will still need a U3 rated memory card as a minimum requirement.

Do This When You First Buy Your Memory Card

There are a lot of counterfeit memory cards out there and sometimes even retailers selling on Amazon are shipping them out.

Whenever you buy a new memory card you should always test to see if it is counterfeit.

Counterfeit cards often have hacked memory controllers, so the card will be sold with more memory than is actually in the card. For example, you might buy a 128GB card, you put the card in your camera, and it says you have 128GB of memory, but there is really only 64GB of memory in the card. It will work fine up to 64GB, but once you record more than that, the card will get corrupted.

This is often why you see bad reviews of people saying, “card worked great for a few weeks.” Likely it was working fine, until the day they crossed that 64GB threshold.

So how do you test for this?

Easy, the first thing you do when you buy a new memory card is max out the capacity. If you were able to fill the card up without it getting corrupted and it performed according to spec, you likely have an official card. I like to do this by recording video in order not to wear out the camera shutter, or you can do it with stills as long as the camera is set to the electronic shutter mode.

 

Best Memory Cards For Video Fujifilm X-E4

For those looking to use the Fujifilm X-E4 for video, there are a few stats you should know.

The X-E4 shoots DCI 4k ( 4096 x 2160 ). That’s pretty cool. Most of our mirrorless cameras today only shoot UHD 4k ( 3840 x 2160 ).

The X-E4 also has a few nice bitrate options.

200Mbps = 25MB/s

100Mbps = 12.5Mb/s

To get consistent 200Mbps recording with the X-E4 you will need a UHS-I card that has a rating of at least U3.

The record limits of this camera are set to 30minutes. We’re not yet sure of the 4k limits and how the heat will play into this.

 

What Size Memory Card To Buy

Casual shooters will be fine with a 64GB card, however, I’ve been liking 128GB cards as it allows me to go a few days without clearing off my cards.

Or I can leave some files on my cards from the previous day as everything on my computer backups to my server.

Video shooters will likely need to start with a 128GB card especially if shooting at 200Mbps is an interest.

 

Best SD Cards Fujifilm X-E4 Conclusions

Finding the right memory card for your shooting style can be a little tricky, but this guide should make that easier and hopefully allow you to save money and headaches.

If you just want to buy the best most reliable card, stick with the Sandisk Extreme Pro. The Sony E is also a great option as it allows faster write speeds if you have a UHS-II reader.

You definitely don’t need an expensive UHS-II card for this camera and if you want to buy them for faster transfer speeds, stick with the V60 cards, or the Sony E card.
