Best SD Cards Fujifilm X100V

The Fujifilm X100V supports a single UHS-I memory card with some pretty powerful video capabilities.

At 4k, the camera writes 200 Mbps, so you’ll want a memory card with a minimum U3 rating to support this spec.

Recommended Memory Cards for Fujifilm X100V

For general photography, the speed of your card won’t matter as much unless you’re bursting. With JPG shooters using effects like grain and clarity, the bottleneck will be in the processor, so that a fast card will matter even less.

These are the top-performing memory cards. The benchmarks are taken from the Fuji X100F.

Fuji X100V SD Card Capacity

The Fujifilm X100V will support memory cards up to 512GB.

Fuji X100V Memory Card Compatibility

The X100V only supports UHS-I memory cards. You can use UHS-II cards, but they will offer no gain with in-camera performance.

For 4 K video at 200 Mbps, you will need to use U3 or v30 memory cards.

Quick Note: Sometimes, some memory cards have issues with Fujifilm cameras at launch. We saw this with the X-T3, X-H1, and X100F. Most of their cameras now have very good memory card compatibility, but to play it safe, I will recommend only the cards I know will surely work.

Fujifilm X100V Video Specs & Record Times

The Fujifilm X100V will record 4K at a bitrate of 200 Mbps. For those of you not too familiar with bitrate, this is very good. It is twice the bitrate of any Sony camera and even higher than that of the Nikon cameras.

You have a record limit of 10 minutes for 4k videos and 15 minutes for 1080p videos.

To give you an idea of how much data the 200 Mbps can handle, here is a chart of record times by memory card size.

Also, only bitrate impacts file size. If you’re recording at 200 Mbps, it won’t matter whether you use 4K or 1080p; they’ll both take the same amount of space.

BitRate	64GB	128GB
4k 200Mbps	43min	85min

Test For Counterfit Memory Cards

First, be sure to buy memory cards from a reliable source. In other words, don’t shop from a shady vendor on an auction site.

When you first get your memory card, you should immediately try to fill it to capacity. This is the best way to determine whether the card is counterfeit. If you can max the capacity without any issues or the card failing, then you most likely have a legitimate card.

The X100V is a great little camera. With a good memory card from a reliable source, it will be an amazing little workhorse.

The 128GB cards are pretty cheap now, so if you’re going on an extended vacation or something, you might as well grab one. Otherwise, you won’t need anything larger than a 64GB card for day-to-day shooting.
