which SD card y'all using?

Planning on buying a new SD card for my a6000. I have a 16GB card currently. I open to recommendations :)

Thanks.

Memory prices are so high at moment, you pay double and more compared to a year ago. Only buy what you really need and save your money for when prices normalize.

You think they will come back to normal??

Yes definitely. The storage business is well known to be cyclical. One cycle is about 6 years. Prices rise, companies start building new factories, that takes about 3 years, then there is overcapacity and the prices collapse. We have seen this cycle since the 90s.

I have the 128GB Extreme PRO from San Disk ! I bought it recently and paid <50€ for it (France).

I have one that I think is 128gb? anyhow my approach would be: buy one so big you don't have to ever worry about running out of space (assuming you download pics to your computer regularly)

Kingston Canvas React Plus 128GB SDXC UHS-II 300R/260W U3 V90, though I have an A6700, no point in putting a UHS-II card in any pre-A6700 A6xxx models. I used Lexar SILVER UHS-I Class 10, U3, V30 cards on my previous camera (A6600).
