Both the Canon EOS 650D and the Nikon D5200 support the UHS-I standard, which means that memory cards that are certified according to this standard also run correspondingly faster. The Canon EOS 650D is already replaced by the EOS 700D, but the technology is almost the same, so the results are also valid for the newer Canon EOS 700D (test).
SD cards tested on the Canon 650D
When buying a memory card one should consider the own photography habits. The amount of memory required depends on whether you are using the RAW format, shooting videos or shooting series. The latter is also important for the speed: Who shoots many series and videos takes a faster map, who works his pictures carefully composed and with single-image mode, comes with a slower.
SD cards tested on the Nikon D5200
In the case of the cards, we are testing the 16GB versions this time with only a few exceptions. In the test, we measured the time to store 20 RAW + JPEG images. On the other hand, we have seen if you can take more pictures in a row. The first shot of the camera was the signal to cancel. We did not use pure JPEG series this time.
Test results
Even with slower cards, the storage times at Canon like Nikon are only slightly longer than the fastest models. The second of the two tasks have both cameras with none of the cards better to cope. At Canon, there were three at Nikon six shots. Of course, the tempo was different from the fourth or seventh recording. Faster cards saved faster. It was different in the times when fast models played their advantages.
Test Conclusion
On the Canon EOS 650D (test), the slowest card, a SanDisk Class 4, uses 7 times as much time to store as the fastest, the Hama Class 10 UHS-I SDHC with 95 MB / s reading speed. The Class-4 SDHCs were far from being an exception. With times between 80 and 90 s for the 20 series they are clearly too slow. Even the class 6 models of Samsung were significantly faster. The only exception is the PNY Class 4 SDHC. It dropped at 23.5s at the level of the lower class 10 cards with UHS-I support and faster than PNY class 10 without UHS-I.
The SDHC models with a write speed of over 80 MB / s lay relatively close together with times between 13 and 14.2 s. Between 20 and 15 seconds the models needed a write speed of 35 to 65 MB / s. Here, the extreme of SanDisk fell positively, which with 13.5 s belongs to the fastest cards of the test. Models with about 20 MB / s and without UHS-I needed just 30 to 40 s and are thus considerably slower than the favorites.
Even on the Nikon D5200 (test), the fastest cards with a little over 13 s were clearly ahead of the slower competition. They perceptibly dropped the Class 4 cards: they took 5-6 times longer. Again, the PNY Class 4 card was an exception. The fastest was again the Hama with 80 MB / s writing speed. However, all models with a write speed of 80 MB / s and above with times of 13.2 to 13.6 s were so close together that the differences are of no practical importance.
In the midfield, Kingston UltimateXX 233x, Panasonic Gold, PNY Pro-Elite and Sony Class 10 stood out with times between 15 and 16 seconds. A little better was again the extreme of SanDisk - 13.8 s. The 20 MB / s fast models without UHS-I were as already at the Canon about a factor 2 slower than the fastest cards. On the Nikon, the 32 GB Toshiba type 2, which was at the Canon worse than the comparable competition, could get closer to the first place.
With faster maps you can speed up the storage of image series on both cameras significantly. The test devices are Hama Class 10 UHS-I (80 MB / s write speed) and SanDisk Extreme Pro Class 10 UHS-I (95 MB / s write speed). It could be a slight advantage on the 600x Lexar, Pro Elite Plus from PNY or the Extreme of SanDisk.
Comparison test: 11 Card reader in the test
Class 4 cards have proved too slow. They are cheap, but here one saves at the wrong end. You can get Kingston 233, Panasonic Gold, PNY Pro Elite, SanDisk Extreme and Sony Class 10 for price / performance tips.
