For those of you lucky to have a new 7Dm2 in hand, what would you recommend for a SD memory card to take full advantage of its 10fps burst speed and delay any pause for buffer writing to SD?

The best CF cards are faster, but this is significant only if you shoot long bursts. I shoot bursts, but don't expect to need more than like 20 or 30 in a row. Therefore for me, the faster SD cards will be fine.

SD cards are cheaper and there are more SD card readers around, and SD cards won't break pins. So I'm buying a faster SD card to join my other cards.
