Which SD card to use with D5100

[ultimabasher]

So I am getting a Nikon D5100 soon. Got some good rates on it and hence decided to go for it. Question is, which mem card to use.

D5100 supports SDHC- and SDXC-compliant cards.

Quick search on Ebay and I narrowed it down to one of the below two

Sony 32GB Secure Digital 94MBPS SD SDHC UHS-I Memory Card For SLR Camera SF-32UX | eBay

Sandisk 32GB EXTREME SDHC SD memory card class 10 45mbps bttrthn Transcend | eBay

Now the confusion.

I am looking for a Class 9 or Class 10. The Sony claims 95 mbps whereas the sandisk claims 45 which is half. In terms of cost, Sony is cheaper.

Question is, what shall I go for? Please suggest.

You can get the sandisk ultra 30mb/sec cards. That is good enough. Note that the 95mbps or the 45mbps that you talk about is the read speed but what really matters is the write speed.

I am talking about this one:
Sandisk Ultra SD SDHC Card 32GB for Digital Camera Class 10 30MB DSLR 5 Yr Wrnty | eBay

One word of advice, go for 2 16gb cards instead of 1 32gb card.

i had a Nikon D5100 and got a 16gb sandisk ultra(class 10).
works well for the RAW and jpeg images and no issues for HD videos.

so the ultra 16/32gb will be sufficient.

Yep, thats the confusion. The write speeds are always on less side than read speed. Confusion is that sony is a bit cheaper. Any reason for it?

I understand the reason you are asking to go for the 2 x 16gb @_pappu_ cards but I am trying to keep the cost on the lesser side if possible :|. Camera is a super sweet deal but already got Note 2 and a PS3 last month :|.

Thanks for the inputs @ariendj

Yes sure, but the cost of 2x16gb and 1x32gb is the same. Do check before you buy.

now using sandisk 32GB x 2 Nos. for my Nikon D7000 for past 6 months, no complaints so far
