Might be just that card. That is my only 32 gb card. Is a san disc extreme sd. Might be my 6D with problem too and will send it for checking since still under warranty.
Recommended memory card for A7R?

Buy another sandisk extreme pro 32gb from best bargain to try. The price right now is 78. Or is it the normal extreme card you're talking about?

Let us know the outcome. Currently my A7R writes photos faster to my card with the extreme pro than other 32gb cards.
Could be an issue with the 6D then

You are using A7R??? Which lens you using? Cool.... much more compact and portable. I fiddled with one this afternoon..... just yet to decide on it yet.... too heavily invested in Canon lens....
I think might be 6D... so it will be a while, as too busy to go down till March...

I buy online or from hk...
For speed and accurate AF, go for the mighty 5DIII. Video is top notch too. Price has come down nicely and if you are into sports and fast actions, it is worth getting.
Since you have many Canon lenses, you have to make a call. Took a while to sell all my Canon lenses and gears too.
A7R is too slow for action sports. Not complaining as I am not into sports photography, and really like my A7R for the IQ.
If you are getting a 5DIII, don't spend too much on SD Card, as it can be better optimised with the fastest CF Card (e.g. Lexar 1000x cards).

Upgrade to the 5D3 :bsmilie:
The D4s is tempting as well
5D3 is tempting... yes.... but I go by budget... if have then buy.. do not want to overstretch my finance.... 7D for fast event, and 6D for slow...... and just gotten a ZE 50mm f1.4... and got hook to Zeiss... the only reason I am looking at Sony because of Zeiss....
D4s is not for me... I have nothing Nikon.... only Nikon lens is on my spec...
A mount FF lens work ok on FE with a Adapter right?
Were you previously using a Canon?

As of now.... my 7D is serving me for fast subjects, and 6D is for slow subjects, like portraits, and leisure walk about...
I shoot events at times, so 5D3 does have an advantage..... but in event photography.. requirement is to capture the moment more important... which 7D does quite well.... while portraits focus is to flatter the subject.....
Did thought of selling 7D & 6D to get the 5D3.... but I became too attach to my 7D..... and it give me the range too.... lol.... :sweat:

All along is by them, but service is good. 1 for 1 direct exchange as long as they have stocks and ur card really have issues. Go there, show them the SD got problem, they take the card and pass u a new one. U test on the spot swee then cao.

Been buying all my cards and thumb drives from Best Bargain for the past 3~4 years, cheaper than during PC show. Great service with fast moving stock.
Last round my under official warranty Ultra Thumb drive went kaput...been sent on a merry go round then the Sandisk service centre finally told me cannot help, can replace but I need to bring official receipt, together with packaging etc to show it to them then I can get an exchange....I was like wtf you want me to keep all outer packaging of all my memory cards and the receipt as well? Could easily buy another one and use the receipt and packaging but then I guessed whats the point with this type of f**ked up treatment that I've got. I never bought another card with any of Vector's reseller since. Consumer Power!!!
