Those of you shooting with this camera are using which brand of memory card? I have one on the way.

Mike,

I've been using Lexar Professional SDXC Class 10.  A mix of 400 and 600x, 32/64 and 126GB
Lexar have always been great for me. 

They've been doing great.  A little slow to download, but there's big files in there!

Happy to answer any other questions you have.

I'm using SanDisk mostly and added a ADATA recently.  It doesn't seem to care about the card as much so stick with a top vendor, just don't use the U3 cards as they don't work.

I use the 256gb 95 MB/s sandisk extreme pro's.

1 in each slot.

Does anyone know if the 645z can write faster than 95 MB/s if I got a faster card?

Only thing faster than the 95MB cards are the 150/250/280MB UHS-II U3 cards and those are a known not to work.  I forget that there are UHS-I and UHS-II cards both labeled 'U3'.  I know, the buffer seems small when bursting out a lot of frames...
