I use 8gb max on the E5.2, and that's pushing my comport level. I won't put
more photos on a card than I can afford to lose. How many would go on a 128
card? I guess if shooting video, it would be a better idea.

Thanks for the detailed analysis. I pretty much knew I didn't need it
and now I know why. :-)

Unless you have a specific need for the capacity on one card, I can't
see much point. You pay extra per GB.
I just added a couple of 32 GB UHS-1 cards to my menagerie for $12.95 @.
That's 40¢/GB, vs. 57¢.
I have four 64 GB SD cards, and they have more than enough capacity for
my needs. If I put a clean one in each of my primary cameras, I can go
on one of our month+ trips and never have to change a card.
It may help to know what you are paying for.
The headline ad numbers don't mean much. 40, 45, 90, whatever, MB/S
labels refer to READ speeds.
Class 10 is a WRITE speed spec. Name brand cards are all going to write
at about the same speed in older cameras that don't support UHS-I.
UHS-1 is a WRITE speed spec. Name brand cards are all going to write at
about the same speed in all but a few of the latest cameras that can
take use UHS-II.
The EVO and EVO+ are about small block, random read/write speeds,
important for some applications, but meaningless for your use (and mine).
I am not convinced that micro cards with adapters are the best choice
for SD card cameras. It adds two extra layers of contacts to get dirty,
damp, etc. The big SD contacts seem pretty reliable, especially in
sealed cameras like the OMDs. I seem to recall having to remove, wipe
and re-seat in other cameras once or maybe twice in the past. The micro
contacts are much smaller, so, together with the extra layers of
contacts, seem likely to be less reliable in the field.
I do know I've had to remove a lens and wipe contacts a fair number of
times over the years. Last year, in some serious heat, while hiking and
sweating, the iPhone in my belt holster stopped working - steamy SIM
card contacts.
Sony and FujiFilm are still selling 40-45 MB/S labeled read speed cards
for less than the faster to read cards. I've not run a test, but the
'slow' cards still download fast on my USB 3.0 reader. The ones I
mention above are Sony 40 MB/S cards. I also have a couple of Fujis.
Both work perfectly.
