Sandisk seems to have obsession with UHS-I format and releasing new UHS-I cards and at that asking price is a joke. I know quite a lot of photographers who use their DSLRs(thanks to great battery life) for trail cams and UHS-I cards are going to be a serious bottleneck(Sony already has tough series of UHS-II cards and even Delkin or Hoodman have ruggedised SD cards). Also with the "quality" of recent Sandisk products not sure I will get any of their cards.

Yeah, hopefully this won't be another Sandisk trainwreck.

I still need CF cards, but not this way.

They just have 2 Extreme Pro V60 and V90 rated series and off those 2 V60 were announced couple of months back while V90 are quite old at this point. In case of Extreme Pro V60 compared to ProGrade, Sony and Lexar they are quite slow(for their smaller 64 and 128GB cards) for their asking price. Compared to these 2 UHS-II cards, Sandisk regularly updates and releases new UHS-I SD cards. Sony and Prograde both have completely done away with UHS-I cards and in case of Sony even their entry level E series are UHS-II SD Cards.
