UPDATE - DEC 18/18 - Sony has released new firmware (v2.10) for the a7 III & a7R III that "Solves the problem caused by a specific third-party memory card, which would not be recognised by Sony cameras." I know that some of you had problems with the SanDisk cards in your Sony, so hopefully this update will fix it. Please post your results if it does/doesn't. 🤞

yeah, exactly, the extended contacts SDXC II never seen before; I thought that I know everything about SD, but not here... probably(sure) not usefull for video but yet another difference is random access IOPS for small files writing/deleting mostly ... 10 years ago, some cards used even SLC flash chips and Kingston Ultimate was the beast...

Here's the card I was holding in the video - SanDisk Extreme Pro 64GB SDXC V30: geni.us/PwlC Also, one thing I didn't mention in the video is the "x" ratings you see on some brands of cards. (e.g. Lexar 133x). This number is just like the 95MB/s you see on the face of cards--it's the read speed of the card when taking the files off and putting them on your computer. It was based on old CD-ROM read speeds, which had a base of 0.15 MB/s. You just multiply the number of x's by 0.15. So a card with a 166x speed rating would be 166 x 0.15 MB/s = 24.9 MB/s. Alright, now I'm really done. 😜
@geraldundone6 жыл бұрын
@Vadim - Sure! 😃 I would recommend the Sony a6500 (geni.us/l53ssL9 ). It can do everything you want and includes 4K. If it's a bit out of your budget, you can consider some DSLRs from Canon, some of the Rebels aren't too big, but they are bigger than mirrorless sytems. The Rebel SL2 (geni.us/9aTvbFq ) or T7i (geni.us/RVZJ5su ) are strong, but don't have stabilization in the body and only do 1080p. Same goes for the less-expensive Sony systems like the a6000 (geni.us/SON6cmx ) & a6300 (geni.us/9oU61zc ). They have everything you want except stabilization. For phones, the best cameras right now are in the Pixel 2 and the iPhone X. They are good, but not as good as the dedicated cameras mentioned above.
@geraldundone6 жыл бұрын
No problem! 😃 As far as point and shoots go the G7 is pretty good. But keep in mind that there are no upgrade paths with cameras like that. You can't get lenses, build out your kit, etc. Basically it's a single use item and when you're done with it or you out grow it, you have to start all over again. I think they are good for side cameras or travel cameras, but I don't like them if you are trying to get a serious start on photo/video. Here check out this video I made last month. It might help you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmnGf6x-o5etbKs
@GregMcCall6 жыл бұрын
Perhaps you should have added to check the specifications of the camera as you might be spending unnecessary extra money getting a faster card if the camera could not handle it (eg. not handle UHS II and falling back to UHS I ) - Unless you have multiple uses for the card and one of the devices could use it.

This video is very concise and easy to understand, and again, now I can just forward this video instead of trying to explain things; usu ppl just listen to 1 or 2 points, then TLDR (R=Listen in this case). SD cards have so many critical details that are important to get right, it pays to be meticulous; looking at you neewbies. I've always decided on the price point I wanted to pay for cards, 30-35.00, and waited for the price to drop to get the good cards, (yes, exceptions, but mostly true). I reuse older cards, with low bit rate recording, for audio equipment because audio doesn't ever change, 16bit is top quality, and no one records in 24bit; there won't ever be a 4k audio, just additional tracks; also most audio recorders max out at 32Gb. Nothing on Hoodman or Sony Tough cards? The card you recommended is top quality & reliable; also I own these cards. As a side note, I've included older cards with the sale of older cameras to set them free.

I recently picked up a Fuji X-H1 and have been debating with the idea of needing a UHS-2 to handle this camera's 4k 200 bit rate. I understand from Gerald's explanation, the Sandisk Extreme Pro V30 UHS-1 card maxing at 240bits should handle the H1, but was simply curious if anyone has had any real world experience shooting the xh1 at 200bits with the extreme pro mentioned.

Hi Gerald, love your videos! Just wanted to add in that if you have an SDHC card, you can use a Windows PC to manually format it as exFAT, skirting the 4GB filesize limit you mentioned. Formatting it in camera will default to FAT32 (as per the spec) but it's only a default & not a hard requirement. I tested an exFAT formatted SDHC card in my a7 III and was able to record a 30 minute, 20.2GB 4K video file in one go. Hope this helps someone frustrated with broken up files save some money by not buying an SDXC card!

a very very clear explanation of all the numbers and letters on SD cards, really liked this video. One question; 8:10 the UHS-II card doesn't seem to have the V mark (v30, v60). Would it be safe to say that it atleast can record 240 mbits/s video footage because of U3? or how could I know for certain if it can record even higher than that?
@cedricjamesjr1 Жыл бұрын
I would say 8x30 is 240... So I just take that number and multiply that by 2... 480MBs (it does more but that's generic calculation) ... It does more and I know that is pretty shallow concept but my Canon C70 has an ALL Intra bit rate of 543MB per second and I have to have the SanDisk 128gb SDII card in it or some of the functions won't work.... So I wish they would just put what you need to know as a Universal value on the card or packaging but they don't and they make it confusing for everyone. But those SDII cards are super expensive.... and I had to have two. ouch.
