Other forum members may disagree, but I would think that the SDHC cards that you currently have would do the job. On the question of micro SD cards, they are not recommended for DSLR cameras. If you Google Pentax KS 2 there is a useful Q & A page on the Ricoh website

Agree with the points made by Michael.. It's more to do with the transfer speed from the camera. Then just get a matching card.

I find that 90MB/s writes quickly enough in my K-3 so I'd recommend that as a minimum.
My understanding is that micro SD cards are less reliable than their full-sized counterparts due to the reduced size, but I've never had a card of either format fail on me. I avoid them for my cameras though and stick to reliable retailers selling well-known brands of full-sized SD cards, even though my local supermarket no longer stocks them, only the micros.

Does it make any difference if it is a microSD card in a full sized holder?
Gotta K-3iii now, had a K-S2, K50 and so suffering from a relapse and so buying digital camera kit.
