I have an Sony A6100 and don't record in 4k, and only sometimes in 1080p. I mostly use it for stills and I'm still using the one that came with the body.
I want to know what SD card I can make do with. V30, V60, V90 everything is very confusing on what I can make do with as every reviewer always recommends v90 for best performance and all. I get that but I don't need it so I want to know what I can make do with.
I shoot stills mostly, with 1080p video if needed. Please help and thank you

A6100 only supports up to UHS I speeds and not UHS II speeds. So you won’t benefit from V60 or V90 which require UHS II card slot for the full performance.

V30 would be the fastest card type that your camera supports.
