PNY 128GB SDXC card
I use it as a memory card in a 4K video camera with fully acceptable results.

The Sony FDR-AX100 is worth the price.
6 of 6 found this helpful I down-loaded the FDR-AX100 operators manual from the Sony website, and learned how to use the camera while waiting for it to be delivered. I initially used the FDR-AX100 to photograph the exhibits that I visited within the various Smithsonian museums that are located in our federal District of Colombia, and in the surrounding area.
The FDR-AX100 makes excellent photographs in extremely low light conditions, which was fortunate: as most of the worlds museums now prohibit the use of a high intensity flash, which is normally required for high quality indoor photography. I allowed the FDR-AX100 to operate in the fully automatic mode, because I wanted to discover what it was capable of doing under all lighting conditions, and I wanted to challenge the cameras auto-focus features.
I was not disappointed: the resulting high definition video images were all exceptionally good.
The camera stores HD video or still images on a Secure Data High Capacity memory card.
The manual states that the FDR-AX100 had been verified to work with memory cards of up to 64 GB capacity.
I used a 128 GB memory card, and I would expect that it would also work with 256 GB memory cards.
I purchased five high-capacity batteries for use with this camera, but I never required more than one spare battery, during any 12 hour day of HD video recording. This cameras low power consumption provides high endurance.
The left side fold-out touch-screen video display is adequately sized, and the on-screen function-menus are easy to navigate. The rear mounted pull-out view-finder display is a bit small, but it is useful when recording in very bright ambient light conditions. The HD video output from the mini HDMI jack shuts-off while the camera is recording, which is most unfortunate if you have a desire to use it as a feed to a larger external video monitor while recording, but I was forewarned of this problem before I purchased the camera.
This camera provides numerous professional grade features, and almost every function can be manually adjusted to match the requirements of the subject being photographed, and the requirements of the photographer.
I could probably find a slightly better video camera: but it would cost several thousand dollars more than this one.
