I recently acquired a Q2. I've been out of the photography world for quite some time. What is a recommended SD card to use for the Q2. Looking for input on recommended capacity, brand, speed, etc

Congrats on the Q2. I have one and love it. There is a link at the top of the page headed SD cards, worth looking at that.

I used the Kingston Canvas React Plus 64GB SDXC Memory Card UHS-II 300R/260W and find it a good improvement over the SanDisk equivalent. I choose 64gb as it gives me more than enough capacity for a two week trip but also if I am going for more than 660 (roughly what it gives at full DNG file size) shots I would rather put them on several cards in case of fault and/or loss.

Congrats on your Q2....enjoy.  I use SanDisk Extreme Pro 64gb 300 MB/s. I have four of these, which I use for trips etc... "spread the load" and

"don't put all you eggs in one basket !!!"

The Lexar 128gb UHS-II card is excellent.

I generally use 256 or 512K  SanDisk cards. Unless I am going to shoot something that requires high fire shooting dont care if I use slower cards.

In terms of all eggs in one basket, when I am traveling,  I will download my images at the end of the day on my computer or a spare hard drive. I can keep the originals on the SD card as an extra copy in case something happens
