I buy the SanDisk 64GB Extreme PRO cards. There are faster and bigger cards, but these work well for my EM1.3

I find them a good mix of value and performance.

Depends on your camera(s), and shooting habits.

If you got a recent model (like OM1) and often use continuous drive modes then a fast UHS-II SD card is advisable. I prefer 64 GB Lexar 2000x.

Older models (like EM1.2) rarely benefit from card speeds beyond 90 MB/s, so you might want to save some money.

A V30 rated SD card will be sufficient for most video modes.

However, e.g. for GH6 users getting a CFexpress card (Type B) is recommended, these are much faster than any SD card.

Sorry, this was meant to be sarcastic as I left out all important details: UHS-I or II, etc.

There are no dumb questions.
Only dumb answers. And so many of them. 😝
