Best Memory Cards for Fujifilm X-E4

Looking for the best SD memory cards for Fujifilm X-E4 mirrorless camera? Here are our top recommended & fastest SD cards for Fujifilm X-E4.

The Fujifilm X-E4 has a single SD memory card slot that supports the UHS-I SD cards.

The X-E4  ($849 at Amazon, B&H, Adorama) uses Fujfiilm’s latest phase-detect AF system, which includes face and eye detection. It can shoot bursts at up to 20 fps with its electronic shutter and 8 fps with the mechanical shutter. You also get super-fast electronic shutter readout that tops out at 1/32,000 sec, handy for shooting wide-open in bright daylight if that’s your thing.

The quad-core processor keeps everything moving pretty swiftly, and though you’ll want the fastest memory card you can afford for those bursts, you won’t gain any benefits from faster UHS-II compatible cards with the camera’s UHS-I slot (it’s still a good bet to get the fastest UHS-I card you can, though).

So a fast and reliable SD card is a must for X-E4 users. You can find our top recommended SD cards for Fujifilm X-E4 mirrorless camera based on the speed and price. Continue reading “Best Memory Cards for Fujifilm X-E4”
