Best Memory Cards | Fujifilm X-Pro 3

A detailed guide for finding the best and most reliable memory cards for the Fujifilm X-Pro 3 and at the best prices.

 

Best Memory Cards | Fujifilm X-Pro 3

There are a few things you know before buying memory cards, especially for a camera like the X-Pro3.

The X-Pro3 has dual UHS-II memory card slots. All the UHS-II memory cards will be fast enough for 4k video on the X-Pro3 and any U3 UHS-I card should be fine as well.

Generally, if you’re shooting casually you won’t really notice the difference between a V90 UHS-II card and a V60 card. In fact, if you’re shooting JPG and using features like clarity, it will slow down the write speed significantly to the point where it won’t matter at all if you’re using a slower card due to the CPU bottleneck.

Most photographers using the X-Pro 3 will probably be totally fine with a V60 card like the Sony Tough M card or even a good UHS-I card like the Sandisk Extreme Pro.

 

Fujifilm X-Pro 3 Best Memory Cards & Recommendations

Sony Tough G Memory CardFor the Fujifilm X-Pro3, there are two different speed classes of memory cards that will benefit different groups of users. V90 cards are the fastest and are ideal for shootings doing a lot of bursting and need the buffer to clear quickly.

Video shooters or casual photographers will benefit from v60 cards because of the better price to storage ratio. V60 UHS-II cards are more than fast enough for the 4k video the Fujifilm X-Pro 3 outputs. UHS-I cards also work fine as long as they are rated at a U3 speed class.

Here is a list of the top recommended cards.

Memory Card Speed Test | In-Camera Test Results

This test lists different performance metrics with different memory cards. USB-C tests are taken with a USB-C UHS-II reader with Cyrstal Disk on Windows 10. Camera write speeds are taken from the Fujifilm X-T3 which has very similar hardware. Each camera from the same generation has very similar results although the X-Pro models do get very hot.

Best Memory Cards For 4k Video

You have a few options for recording video and the memory card you choose will be important.

The X-Pro 3 is capable of shooting 200Mbps 8-bit internal video. This rated spec pushes the limit of what U3 UHS-I cards can handle but they will work as long as you have a reliable card.

There are some recording limits that you should be aware of. For 1080p shooting, you can only record for 15 minutes at a time. For 4k you can only record video for 10 minutes at a time.

You cannot shoot video to a backup card, it will only go to one card so you do not need dual cards for video recording.

 

Best Memory Cards X-Pro 3 | Bottom Line

The X-Pro3 is an incredible camera packed with very high-quality components. It’s a little tricky picking the right memory cards for the job since it all depends on how you intend to use the camera.

If you want 200Mbps video, you should get a high-quality UHS-I U3, and then you can buy a UHS-I card or a cheaper UHS-II card when shooting photos, and you can send JPG to the slower card as a backup.

You definitely do not need top-tier cards for both slots.
