Best Memory Card for Canon EOS R10
The Canon EOS R10 is a 24.2 MP APS-C body with one SD slot that actually speaks UHS-II. Canon’s movie table asks for V60 only on 4K 59.94p IPB Standard when HDR PQ is on — 340 Mbps, about 42.5 MB/s. 8-bit 4K 60p is U3. The card that matches that V60 row is the SanDisk Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-II V60.

How We Picked
Three official facts. This is the single-slot UHS-II APS-C body, not the UHS-I R50 V and not dual-slot R7.
- Weigh the slot, then the burst table. Canon EOS R10 specifications: one SD/SDHC/SDXC slot, UHS-I and UHS-II supported. 24.2 MP. Mechanical / electronic 1st-curtain about 15 shots/sec, electronic shutter about 23 shots/sec. Maximum burst, High-speed continuous +, One-Shot AF, Canon test cards: JPEG on a 32 GB UHS-I card about 123 frames, same JPEG on a 32 GB UHS-II card about 460. RAW on that 15 fps row is 21 vs 29. Electronic 23 fps JPEG is 70 on both cards — UHS-II does not stretch that row. Canon UK: 382 g body / 429 g with card and battery, 122.5 × 87.8 × 83.4 mm, footnote 22 “UHS-II high speed cards are recommended for 4K video recording and high speed continuous shooting.” Camera USB is Hi-Speed USB 2.0.
- Read Canon’s movie class table, not a V90 slogan. Same spec sheet, card performance requirements: 4K UHD 59.94/50.00 IPB (Standard) is UHS Speed Class 3 or higher in 8-bit, and Video Speed Class V60 or higher in 10-bit (HDR PQ). 4K 29.97 IPB Standard is U3. 4K 29.97 IPB Light 8-bit is Class 10. Full HD 119.88 IPB Standard is U3. 4K time-lapse ALL-I wants a read speed of 60 MB/sec or higher. Bit rates (HDR PQ off / on): 4K 30p IPB about 120 / 170 Mbps; 4K UHD Crop 60p IPB about 230 / 340 Mbps; 4K time-lapse ALL-I about 470 Mbps. 340 Mbps is about 42.5 MB/s. V60’s 60 MB/s floor covers that; U3’s 30 MB/s floor does not. V90’s 90 MB/s floor is the R8.
- 4K 60p is a crop, and 128 GB is the single-slot size. Canon UK footnote 3: “4K 60p shooting mode is cropped to 64% of the horizontal area.” 4K 30p is the uncropped UHD row. On a 128 GB card Canon’s own times are about 1 h 14 min for 4K crop 60p IPB Standard (8-bit, 230 Mbps) and about 50 min with HDR PQ on (340 Mbps); 4K 30p IPB Standard is about 2 h 21 min. There is no second slot. 128 GB is the practical still+video size; 256 GB if the day is 4K 60p. Format with Low-level format before 4K, per the movie recording size page.
Detailed Reviews
SanDisk Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-II V60 View on Amazon View on B&H
| SKU family | Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-II V60 — SanDisk / V60 sheet |
|---|---|
| Class | UHS-II · V60 (60 MB/s sustained) · U3 |
| Peak (64–128 GB sheet) | Up to 280 MB/s read · up to 100 MB/s write (256 GB–1 TB write up to 150 MB/s) |
| R10 job | HDR PQ 4K crop 60p (340 Mbps) + UHS-II 15 fps JPEG row (460 frames) |
| Capacity | Prefer 128 GB on this single slot |
Why it fits the R10. This body is not an R50. The slot is UHS-II, and Canon’s 10-bit 4K 60p line is V60, not V30. Extreme PRO UHS-II V60 is that class: 60 MB/s floor against 42.5 MB/s of HDR PQ 4K crop 60p, and a UHS-II bus against the 123-vs-460 JPEG burst row. 128 GB holds about 50 minutes of that 340 Mbps mode on Canon’s table — enough for a cropped-60p day without a second slot. 280 MB/s read is a reader number. The camera USB is 2.0.
Skip this if HDR PQ 4K 60p is never on and 15 fps JPEG length does not matter. That is the UHS-I Extreme PRO. Skip a V90 React Plus unless you already own the R8 card.
- V60 floor matches Canon’s HDR PQ 4K 60p row
- UHS-II bus matches the 460-frame 15 fps JPEG row
- 128 GB fits the one-slot 4K 60p day
- V90 peak write is not this SKU
- 280 MB/s offload needs a UHS-II reader, not camera USB 2.0

Lexar Professional 1800x SDXC UHS-II Gold View on Amazon View on B&H
| SKU | Professional 1800x GOLD — Lexar |
|---|---|
| Class | UHS-II · V60 · U3 |
| Peak | 64–128 GB: 280 / 210 MB/s · 256 GB–1 TB: 280 / 205 MB/s |
| R10 job | Same V60 movie row as Overall |
Why it is Value. Same Video Speed Class 60 Canon prints for 10-bit 4K 60p, with a higher advertised write peak than the 64–128 GB SanDisk V60 sheet (210 vs 100 MB/s). That peak is not Canon’s requirement — V60 is. 1800× is 270 MB/s in Lexar’s old ×150 KB/s math; they round the marketing to 280 MB/s read. Gold Series, up to 1 TB. 128 GB is still the R10 default because the body has one slot and USB 2.0.
Skip this if you want the SanDisk V60 SKU for a matching reader ecosystem. Skip 1667× extras if the box still says V30.
- V60 / UHS-II on Canon’s HDR PQ row
- 210 MB/s write on the 128 GB Gold SKU
- Not a V90 buffer card for an R8 upgrade
- Full speed needs a UHS-II reader

SanDisk Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-I View on Amazon View on B&H
| SKU family | Extreme PRO UHS-I — SanDisk |
|---|---|
| Class | UHS-I · U3 · V30 (30 MB/s floor) |
| R10 job | 8-bit 4K 60p IPB (230 Mbps ≈ 28.8 MB/s) and 4K 30p (120 Mbps) |
| Skip | HDR PQ 4K 60p (340 Mbps) · 15 fps JPEG 460-frame row |
Why it is Budget. Canon’s 8-bit 4K 59.94p IPB Standard line is U3, not V60. 230 Mbps is about 28.8 MB/s, inside V30’s 30 MB/s floor with little air. 4K 30p at 120 Mbps is an easy U3 job. This is the card that is Overall on R50 V and R100 because those slots do not do UHS-II. On R10 it still records 8-bit 4K. It does not get you the 460-frame 15 fps JPEG row (that is the UHS-II test card) and it does not satisfy the HDR PQ V60 cell.
Skip this if HDR PQ 4K 60p is on, or you want Canon’s UHS-II burst row. Take V60. Do not buy Ultra / Class 10 without U3 for 4K.
- U3 covers Canon’s 8-bit 4K 60p and 4K 30p rows
- Same Extreme PRO family as the R50 default
- Not V60 — HDR PQ 4K 60p is out
- JPEG 15 fps stays on the 123-frame UHS-I row

If You Need Something Else
V90 is the R8 / R7 stills-buffer. It works. It is not Canon’s R10 movie class.
Kingston Canvas React Plus View on Amazon View on B&H
| This site | Overall on Best Memory Card for Canon EOS R8 |
|---|---|
| Class | UHS-II V90 · 300 / 260 MB/s — Kingston |
| R10 job | Works as a UHS-II card; V90 is above the V60 movie row |
R8’s 40 fps electronic stills and R7’s dual UHS-II slots are why V90 shows up on those URLs. R10’s hardest official movie cell is V60 at 340 Mbps. A React Plus will record it. Buy it if the same card already lives next to an R8. Do not buy V90 as the R10 default — that money is 128 GB of V60 or a second card. Dual-slot overflow is the R7 page.
Skip this if the body in the bag is only R10. That is Extreme PRO UHS-II V60.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why UHS-II V60 is Overall instead of V90
Canon’s 10-bit 4K 59.94p IPB Standard cell is V60. 340 Mbps is about 42.5 MB/s. V60 guarantees 60 MB/s; V90 guarantees 90 MB/s. V90 is the R8/R7 stills. UHS-II still matters here: Canon’s 15 fps JPEG burst is 123 frames on a UHS-I test card and 460 on a UHS-II test card.
Whether UHS-I Extreme PRO covers 4K 60p
8-bit 4K 60p IPB Standard is U3 (230 Mbps ≈ 28.8 MB/s). V30’s 30 MB/s floor covers that row with little margin. HDR PQ 4K 60p is the V60 cell. 4K 30p IPB Standard is U3 at 120 Mbps. Time-lapse 4K ALL-I wants 60 MB/s read, not a V90 write slogan.
What 4K 60p crop does to the frame
Canon UK: 4K 60p is cropped to 64% of the horizontal area. 4K 29.97/23.98p is the full-width UHD row. Frame grabs from 4K are about 8.3 MP (3840×2160). A 15 mm kit becomes a tighter 15 mm on the 60p crop row.
Whether 23 fps electronic stills need V90
Canon’s 23 fps JPEG burst is 70 frames on both the UHS-I and UHS-II test cards. RAW at 23 fps is 18 vs 21. The UHS-II win Canon published is the 15 fps mechanical/1st-curtain JPEG row (123 vs 460), not a V90 requirement.
Why 280 MB/s does not show up over camera USB
Canon UK: Hi-Speed USB 2.0 on the Type-C port. SanDisk’s 280 MB/s read is a UHS-II reader figure. Offload with a UHS-II reader. 128 GB is the one-slot size; 256 GB if the day is HDR PQ 4K 60p (about 50 min per 128 GB on Canon’s table).
Final Verdict
For Canon EOS R10, buy SanDisk Extreme PRO UHS-II V60 in 128 GB. Take Lexar 1800x V60 when the class is V60 and the SanDisk V60 is not the price. Take Extreme PRO UHS-I when 8-bit 4K is the whole movie list. Leave V90 on the R8 page. This slot is UHS-II. 4K 60p is a 64% crop. Camera USB is 2.0.
Timing note. If this purchase can wait a few weeks, memory cards are the category that moves most in Amazon’s autumn event — see what actually gets cheaper on October 6–7.
