E-M1 MK II and memory cards

[String]

I need to pick up some faster cards and I've been hearing about some issues with Lexar cards. What's been your experience with the UHS II cards in the MKII body so far? Lexar are certainly more available where I am and some good sale prices on them.

The official Olympus website page recommends only certain SanDisk and Toshiba cards for the camera, and does not include Lexar. The 230MB/s UHS II card is recommended for slot 1.

I have no issue with the 32Gb Lexar 2000x UHS2 card that was supplied by Olympus Australia as a bonus... it seems to be 128Gb Lexar cards that have definitive issues with the 64Gb having random issues.... I've used Toshiba cards in my em1 from day one but they are near impossible to buy in Australia in UHS2 versions

I have had no problems with the Lexar 64GB 2000x UHS-II SDXC Memory Card:

Lexar 64GB Professional 2000x UHS-II SDXC LSD64GCRBNA2000R B&H

I have Lexar 2000x 64GB and there might be a problem with the card. A couple of times, the video recording time showed zero h/m/s and showed error message 'Card Full' when I pressed video button. I turned off the camera, and pulled the card out, insert again, and turn it on. The video time reverted to normal. Strange thing was, the still image counter showed just normal (several thousands). San Disk 280MB/s 64 GB card is coming a few days, so I'll try if the problem is reproduced and related to the card or not.

Thanks for the update folks, much appreciated!

I also have two 64 GB Lexar 1000x, but they are mostly black, with some gold and a swoosh of red. And I have had zero issues. I have only used slot 2 by accident a few times though.

I have a 64 Gb lexar 2000x card that works perfectly...
