I'd be careful there as some people have been reporting dropped frames with the Sandisk Extreme 45MB/s cards in ProRes.

The PNY cards on the list were fine, and if you had bought them when the list had first come out, you'd've been golden, but they were discontinued shortly after it and their replacement doesn't have as fast of a write speed, from what I have gathered.
Actually I got one of those PNY cards as soon as they put them on the list, it was already the wrong one, in fact I don't think anyone got the right one.
It also doesn't seems to have much to do with the write speed as many tested those cards and got about 60MB/s so it's likely the BmPCC had issues with the controller used in the new ones; Nikon supposedly had similar issues in the past but fixed it with a firmware update. (sorry Adrien, looks like you were right that they're too slow, Blackmagic's speed test had them at 60MB/s but I just found benchmarks of it at 25MB/s) The card PNY sent them was apparently discontinued a while ago but it's model number has been recently resurrected as a $140 32GB Pro-Elite Plus. You can still find what looks like the "discontinued" card on newegg and best buy for $60 but they've labeled it as the Pro-Elite Plus and there's no guarantee they'll send you the right one. BTW a Sandisk Extreme Pro 32GB is currently $60 most places.
I've been doing a lot of research on SD cards for the Pocket, I keep a list on my blog:
http://diffractedmedia.blogspot.com/201 ... cards.htmlSo far the safest card is (unfortunately) the $120 Sandisk Extreme Pro 64GB card, or the $80 Sandisk Extreme Plus 64GB if you mainly need ProRes.
