Top 5 Recommended Memory Cards Fuji X100V

Best Memory Card Fuji X100V

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

At 4k the camera will write 200Mbps which means you’ll want a memory card with the minimum of a U3 rating to support this spec.

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 a fast card will matter even less.

These are the top-performing memory cards. Benchmarks are taken from the Fuji X100F. More tests are coming in the x100v when new cards arrive.

Card Name In-Camera Speed (X100F) 128GB
Sandisk Extreme Pro 170MB – Top Pick 73.71 MB/s Amazon
Sandisk Extreme 47.70 MB/s Amazon
Kingston Canvas Go! — B&H
Lexar 633x U3 — Amazon
Delkin Advantage 72.77 MB/s Amazon

 

Fuji X100V SD Card Capacity

The Fujifilm X100V will support a memory card capacity of up to 512GB. 

 

Fuji X100V Memory Card Compatibility

The X100V only has the technology to support UHS-I memory cards. You can use UHS-II cards but they will offer now gain with in-camera performance.

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

 

Best Memory Cards Fujifilm X100V

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 that I know will work for sure.

 

Other Great UHS-II Memory Card Options

If you like the idea of improving your transfer speeds from your card to your computer with a memory card reader, then UHS-II cards can be a great option.

I’ll list some really nice UHS-II cards that will give you fast transfer speeds but that don’t cost that much more than UHS-I cards. I’ll test all these when I get the camera. It’s almost worth going for the Sony M Tough card for the durability of that tougher build.

Also, a lot of companies are trying to force you into bigger cards now by discontinuing their smaller sizes. So I’ll try to list the less expensive 64GB and 128GB options. Only buy these if you have a camera that can support UHS-II cards, or if you need fast UHS-II transfer speeds to your computer.

Card Name 128GB
Sony M Tough Amazon
Sony E Amazon
Lexar 1000x Amazon
Prograde V60 Amazon

 

Fujifilm X100V Video Specs & Record Times

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

You have a record limit of 10 minutes with 4k and a record limit of 15 minutes with 1080p video.

To give you an idea of how much data the 200Mbps will take, here is a chart of record times based on memory card sizes.

Also, only bitrate impacts file size. If you’re recording at 200Mbps, it won’t make a difference if you use 4k or 1080p, they both will take the same amount of space. 

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

 

Test For Counterfit Memory Cards

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

When you get your memory card for the first time, You should try to max its capacity right away. This is the best way to determine if the card is counterfeit or not. If you can max the capacity without any issues or the card failing, then you most likely have a legitimate card.

 

 

Best Memory Cards Fujifilm X100V Conclusions

The X100V is a great little camera, just get a good memory card from a reliable source and the camera will be an amazing little workhorse.

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