I know in the early days of the M9 there were problems with support for some memory cards. I am still waiting for my M to arrive but was just wondering if I could use fast, large capacity cards such as the San Disk SDXC UHS-I (128GB).

 

In fact any recommendations would be welcome.

 

Many thanks for any advice.

Yes, the Leica M (Typ 240) is compatible with the SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory card standards. Of course, this does not entirely rule out the possibility of incompatibilities of some sort or another with individual card brands or models.

Most folks here would advise against such a large capacity card. They are most likely expensive. I prefer several smaller capacity 16 GB cards. It is the old all your eggs in one basket and if it fails, etc.....

Smaller cards tend to be quicker for the same rated speed.

 

I can't see much point going over 16

 

Unless you are completely shutter incontinent it's hard to fill one of these in a day.....

 

From tests on the 'start up/standby' speed problem thread, Sandisk Extreme class10 45mb/sec seem to be consistently good performers.

I haven't got a dog - but I do take your point. I mainly use my camera for travel photography and usually off load the pictures to my Mac each evening. I know there is sense in smaller cards but with ever increasing file sizes I am starting to find that 128GB is the new 64GB !

I'm in UK and have seen prices from £16 on Amazon to £55 in the local camera shop for the Sandisk Extreme Pro 95MB/s 16GB SDHC Card. I don't want to buy lousy fake cards or pay over the odds so which supplier can be trusted? Cheers Glenn

I have inserted a Sandisk Extreme 64 GB to my M9. It did not show the capacity and cannot be formatted. I have taken some photos and its only shows the first image is 1 of 1. It was there, but I did not know how many images I can take.

I guess the largest capacity for M9 is 32GB. Anyone can clarify this?

The M8, M8.2, M9, M9-P, M Monochrom, and M-E can only use SD and SDHC cards but no SDXC cards. Hence 32 GB is the maximum indeed.
