Nice capacity but certainly not fast by today's UHS-2 standards. This card uses the older and outdated UHS-1 standard.

Still amazing that they can make sd and micro sd cards of 1TB capacity:

You can bet it won’t be long until they produce faster hi capacity cards.

Yup, a UHS II 1GB SD card would become my travel backup solution.

Hi,
It would be nice for making videos, but I'd sure hate to lose that much video/photos if it stopped working.
Have Fun,
Jeff

That's been the constant argument for a long time but as cameras have evolved with higher MP's and 4K60 video you can never have too much storage. I remember thinking 4GB was insane for a CF card and many arguing you should use four 1GB cards instead.
Other than maybe once about 15 years ago I don't think I've ever lost and images or video on a CF or SD card and so long as you treat the cards carefully I don't see failure as a likely outcome. The one thing that would be nice is a dual card arrangement in the camera that would write the files to two cards at the same time and in the same format, RAW for example. That way you go with the biggest cards you can use and afford and your'e protected by the redundancy. One other thing about the larger cards ... you don't have to pull them from the camera as often and that can limit the chance of losing the card or damaging the card slot or card itself. You don't want to be outside in crummy weather only to have the card flick out of the camera and into a stream or sewage drain never to be seen again. Swapping cards in the field can turn a low probability of lost images into a higher probably of lost images.

Yes, that would be enough to just leave in the second slot for an entire wildlife trip. Swapping out smaller cards to keep safe elsewhere. Which is why I insist on 2 slots.
