Fujifilm Elite II UHS-II SD Memory Card

Fujifilm Elite II UHS-II SD Memory Card Fujifilm has stepped into the flash memory card game with their UHS-II SD memory cards that designed to be used with their UHS-II compatible cameras; like the Fuji X-T2 and the Fuji X-Pro 2. While the specs look promising, the card performs almost identical to the Transcend UHS-II card. This makes me believe it’s just a relabeled Transcend card as I don’t believe Fujifilm does any flash manufacturing themselves. Of course, I could be wrong.

As a side not, the Hoodman Steel UHS-II memory card also performs almost identical to this card and the transcend card.

That being said, the Transcend cards are great and so is this Fujifilm Elite II card. It’s not as fast as some of the other cards out there in terms USB 3.0 write speeds, but it performs very well in most in-camera memory card speed tests and its USB 3.0 read speeds are fantastic.

Fujifilm Elite II UHS-II Memory Card Sizes

Like the Transcend cards, the Fujifilm Elite II can also be found in two sizes – 32GB and 64GB. The 32GB cards will function with the 32-bit file system and you’ll be limited to 4GB file sizes when recording video. The 64GB cards will format with the exfat 64-bit file system.

Because this card is so fast at read speeds via USB 3.0, it makes it one of the best options for videographers who are looking to offload their video files from their cards as quickly as possible.

Real World Memory Card Performance

Like the Transcend cards, I was also able to get slightly faster performance out of the Fujifilm Elite II card than what it was rated for with USB 3.0 tests in Windows 10.

In terms of read speeds using USB 3.0 UHS-II card reader, this card is one of the fastest cards you can buy. It’s write speeds are slightly slower than the competition when tested with USB 3.0, but in-camera, it’s easily able to keep up with what any camera can put out and will often make it to the top five of fastest UHS-II memory cards with in-camera tests in UHS-II compatible cameras.

UHS-II USB 3.0 Memory Card Readers

To get the maximum speed out of this the Fujifilm Elite II UHS-II memory card, I found the Lexar SR2 USB 3.0 UHS-II memory card reader worked the best out of all the memory card readers out there that support UHS-II.

Is the Fujifilm Elite II Still Worth Buying?

This card was originally positioned for first-generation Fujifilm UHS-II bodies like the X-T2 and X-Pro 2. In those cameras, it performed well — consistently in the top five of UHS-II cards tested, with in-camera speeds of 65–66 MB/s in the Fujifilm X-E3 (the camera’s UHS-I ceiling). For that era of Fujifilm bodies, it was a reasonable choice.

In 2026, the Fujifilm Elite II is a harder recommendation. The card appears to have been discontinued or unavailable in new stock at most major retailers, and its specs have been surpassed by modern alternatives. The Sony Tough G, Delkin Power V90, and ProGrade Cobalt all offer higher USB 3.0 write speeds, better physical durability, and broader availability. If you already own one, it still works in any UHS-II or UHS-I camera. If you’re buying new, modern V90 cards from the brands above are the better investment.

Which Cameras Benefit From the Fujifilm Elite II?

The card is compatible with any UHS-II or UHS-I camera. It was optimized for Fujifilm’s first-generation UHS-II bodies — X-T2 (156 MB/s ceiling), X-Pro 2 (108 MB/s ceiling), and similar cameras from that generation. In those bodies, its 181.6 MB/s USB write speed and strong read performance made it a competitive card. In UHS-I cameras, it runs at UHS-I speeds — same as any UHS-II card would — and its speed advantage disappears.

Fujifilm Elite II Memory Card FAQ

Is the Fujifilm Elite II a rebadged Transcend card?

Almost certainly. The card performs nearly identically to the Transcend UHS-II in every benchmark tested — USB read, USB write, and in-camera. The Hoodman Steel 2000x also lands at essentially the same speeds. Fujifilm does not manufacture flash memory, so the card is almost certainly manufactured by Transcend under an OEM arrangement.

Can I use the Elite II in UHS-I cameras?

Yes. UHS-II cards are backward compatible with UHS-I slots and run at UHS-I speeds. The card works fine in any SD-compatible camera. You simply won’t see any write performance benefit over a quality UHS-I card — the camera’s interface is the limiting factor.
