At 6 fps, RAW is 1000+ frames on UHS-II and 85 on UHS-I. 4K60 10-bit is V60. V90 is the UHS-II class with a 90 MB\/s floor when burst and 4K60 share that door.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>Whether 4K60 10-bit requires V90<\/h3><p>Canon\u2019s movie table asks Video Speed Class V60 or higher for 4K UHD 59.94 \/ 50 fps IPB Standard in 10-bit (Canon Log 3 \/ HDR PQ). 8-bit 4K60 is UHS Speed Class 3. V90 is the burst card, not the movie minimum.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>Why 128 GB instead of 32 GB<\/h3><p>One slot. Canon\u2019s 4K60 IPB Standard time table is about 18 minutes on 32 GB and 1 hour 14 minutes on 128 GB, at about 230 Mbps. 32 GB is the size Canon used for burst tests, not a travel card for 4K60.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>Whether UHS-I Extreme PRO is enough<\/h3><p>That SKU is a UHS-I V30 card. This camera\u2019s slot is UHS-II. The 6 fps RAW buffer is 85 frames on Canon\u2019s UHS-I test card. Save UHS-I Extreme PRO for a UHS-I body.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>What 40 fps RAW asks of the card<\/h3><p>Canon: about 56 RAW or 120 JPEG at 40 fps on a UHS-II card, 51 RAW on UHS-I. RAW Burst at 30 fps with 0.5 s pre-record is about 158 frames. The larger gap is still 6 fps RAW: 85 versus 1000+.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2>Final Verdict<\/h2>\n<div class=\"conclusion-module verdict-box\">\n  <div class=\"verdict-picks\">\n    <div class=\"verdict-item\">\n      <span class=\"verdict-label\">\ud83c\udfc6 Best Overall:<\/span>\n      <div class=\"verdict-product\"><strong>SanDisk Extreme PRO UHS-II V90<\/strong> <span class=\"verdict-reason\">\u2013 300 \/ 300 MB\/s; 90 MB\/s floor; 128 GB.<\/span><\/div>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=SanDisk+Extreme+PRO+SDXC+UHS-II+V90+128GB&#038;tag=e6890-20&#038;linkCode=osi\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"verdict-btn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Buy Now<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"verdict-item\">\n      <span class=\"verdict-label\">\ud83d\udc8e Best Value:<\/span>\n      <div class=\"verdict-product\"><strong>Lexar 2000x GOLD UHS-II V90<\/strong> <span class=\"verdict-reason\">\u2013 same V90 class; 300 \/ 260 MB\/s.<\/span><\/div>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=Lexar+Professional+2000x+SDXC+UHS-II&#038;tag=e6890-20&#038;linkCode=osi\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"verdict-btn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Buy Now<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"verdict-item\">\n      <span class=\"verdict-label\">\ud83d\udcb0 Budget Pick:<\/span>\n      <div class=\"verdict-product\"><strong>Lexar 1800x GOLD UHS-II V60<\/strong> <span class=\"verdict-reason\">\u2013 UHS-II V60 for 4K60 10-bit; 6 fps RAW still wants V90.<\/span><\/div>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=Lexar+Professional+1800x+SDXC+UHS-II&#038;tag=e6890-20&#038;linkCode=osi\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"verdict-btn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Buy Now<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  <p class=\"verdict-summary\">For the EOS R8, buy SanDisk Extreme PRO UHS-II V90 in 128 GB.
