Fast SD cards for K5?

If your goal is to only use the card on the K5 you have to think about it a bit.
By design the K5's SD slot is caped at 21 MB/s.
In reality, it will be a little lower.
So then it really becomes a question of what you are after. Going above effective 20 MB/s will grante you nothing on the camera-part. It will only make it quicker to move the images onto your PC, and of course increase the price of the card.
I would advice people to instead of looking to much into the brands, look at SD card tests. For the K5 you don't need the biggest and best card on the market. Those might not even be compatible to boot
