That's a good card and at a decent price but can you get it for that price in Argentina? Buying faster than your current camera can utilize is a consideration should you use a USB 3.0 card reader to transfer images. Another consideration is what a camera might utilize two years from now, should you upgrade. What's the price difference between the two? It might buy a lot of Malbec!

What do you shoot?

If you shoot wildlife &/or fast moving objects like race cars, the 1066x memory is the only way to go.

Other than that, 400x should be enough for everything.

I am in usa now, I have a d800 that I use mainly for family and portrait photos . I think the relationship price / benefit ratio is very good in that model of Transcend....

Providing its quicker than your camera, there isnt any benefit to a faster card UNLESS you need to access the files quickly or you ate working on deadline - then you may benefit from a faster speed when you download the card to your computer

I have 5 of the 64GB 400X cards for my Canon 7D, and have never had a problem.
For the price, you can't lose. They keep up with my 7D while shooting, and there
is nothing wrong with their speed when reading with a USB3 reader. And if you
do need some extra speed, the Transcend 64GB 1000X cards (external link) are still a deal.

Just an anecdotal comment on the 1000x cards... I recently went from Transcend's 400x with a USB2 reader to their 1000x card and their USB 3.0 reader, and while I couldn't tell a difference in-camera, it halved the time it takes to import photos to my computer.

The difference you see mostly comes from USB3 vs USB2. Try 400x card on USB3, you will probably double that also.

400x is 60MB/s.
USB2 has a hard time to reach 40MB/s.
