Kingston SDA3 / 16GB

We find the classic packaging for this type of storage units: plastic blister and cardboard surface. We can see that it is an SD card with SDHC3 technology, capable of playing and recording 2K and 4K videos, its read / write rates and compatible with any electronic device. At the rear we have all the technical characteristics.

The SD card has a standard size of 24mm x 32mm x 2.1mm and although its sticker is not very attractive, it indicates the capacity of the SD in question, this time the smallest 16GB. It has speeds of 90MB / s read and 80MB / s read speeds thanks to its UHS-I speed class 3 technology.

Final words and conclusion

After testing 1080p videos and photos with my Canon 600D, the result was better than expected. Normally I use the SD Sandisk Extreme class10 but with the Kingston the camera shoots much faster and above all the videos are thinner. This is because it uses Flash SDHC / SDXC UHS-I U3 technology with read speeds of 90MB / s and write at 80MB / s, read and write up to 7 times faster than most common Class 10 SD cards.C

In this case I would recommend it both for your reflex, compact or professional format video camera. The most important thing is that you have a USB 3.0 card reader, which I would recommend Kingston Media Reader 3.0. And don't forget, it's backed by a lifetime warranty, free technical support and legendary Kingston reliability.

It is currently available in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB versions for a price of € 25, € 50 and € 100. A great investment and a faithful companion of the day to day.

For its quality and performance, the Professional Review team awards you the gold medal:
