Absolutely total newbie here, and soooo appreciated all of the detail. Just got a Sony ZV-1M2 and now realize there is a TON to learn. After I settle on the storage card, will try to tackle an attachable flash! Thanks again!

okay so awesome! I likek how you teach us how to understand the SD card and what its made up of so we can make informed decisions for our own needs - I see alot of youutubers picking brands and saying this one is the best and exaplaining why but no where near detailed and in no way a teaching mannor! great

God bless you Matt😭 I just got my hands on a polaroid i534 digital camera and i’ve been a little lost on the SD card part this video made it very clear for me would also love to hear your input on what SD card would be suitable for this digicam its and OLDDDD thing so not alot of info on it

[@aprilmartin2196]

Can you do video on the breakdown of the amount of video time you get with the SD card and camera settings. I am not clear on that. You said if you are recording a wedding you need multiple cards. For example how much recording time do you get with a 128GB on 4k? I am trying to understand all of this.

[@MattKendallPhotoVideo]

So when I said you would need multiple cards to film a wedding, you would need many if you were working with SD cards that only hold 32GB of storage at 4k resolution. The more a memory card can hold, the longer film time you can get on it. Many cameras, like the canon EOS R, have a time limit set on them of 30 minutes, so even if you have a card that can record 4k for several hours, the camera will stop recording once it hits 30 minutes and you would have to restart the recording. There is some sort of math that goes into figuring out how much record time you get on a memory card and there are factors to consider when figuring it out such as the size of your camera sensor as well as color space and compression. I have a link to an article for you that should help you with that as well! www.lapseoftheshutter.com/how-much-4k-video-can-128gb-hold/

[@aprilmartin2196]

Thank you so much. The article makes a lot of sense to me. I have Canon M50 Mark II and I am just learning how to use it for videos. Your article help gave me understanding. It was a easy read and gave a lot of information. Thank you for following up with me.

this is the best video i've found so far. I'm still confused though. I just wanna know what card i should buy for a t3i so i can continuously record. or if that's even possible.

[@MattKendallPhotoVideo]

Thanks! To answer your question, if you’re looking to record a bunch of footage on 1 memory card, I’d look at a 128gb card for start. If your goal is to do super long recordings on your camera I’d consider checking to see if your camera has a 30 minute record time limit like most canon cameras have. Hope this helps!

Are as cards absolutely necessary for the camera to record even if you transfer the video automatically to your phone or laptop? In sorry I’m tech challenged and I’m trying to start a KZbin channel with a Sony zv 1f.

[@sivalivestreemevents3792]

yup

[@DavidRodriguez-df4gt]

Note about SDHC vs SDXC cards and formatting: these are (user-friendly markings of) interoperability standards to make sure that a device can use a card with the same markings. But as SDXC supersedes SDHC, most SDXC devices should be able to use SDHC cards formatted either FAT32 or exFAT while the inverse isn't true (SDHC devices typically can't use SHXC cards even formatted in FAT32).

[@rcfields9209]

@@MattKendallPhotoVideo awesome thank you so much for the help!

[@MattKendallPhotoVideo]

@FnnElm If you’re just doing photography, it wouldn’t hurt to bring along 2-3 of the 128gb SD cards so you have backups as well as additional storage space. If you’re bringing a laptop that you can transfer the files to as you fill up the card then 1-3 cards will be plenty. Link to the 128gb card I would recommend is in the description!

[@MattKendallPhotoVideo]

@FnnElm 2 128gb cards will be enough for photography. Hope you have fun on your trip!

I have sony a7s2 and sony 6300 can I use UH2 card for 4 k shoot? Plz guide me

[@MattKendallPhotoVideo]

Those cameras can work off of UHS1 cards no problem. If you purchased a UHS II memory card, the camera would default it to a UHS I unless the camera accepts UHS II. I’d work with a 128gb v30 memory card for both your cameras. I have links to them on my gear page kit.co/mattkendall/best-memory-cards

[@kerrymannix7543]

question will it work the SanDisk 1TB Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-I Card for the G7X Mark II & NEW G7X Mark III Black

[@MattKendallPhotoVideo]

It should work fine. The read and write speeds on those cards are the same as what I have on my 128gb cards. Only difference is the storage capacity since you’re looking at 1tb. Do note the G7X series cameras record for only 30 minutes at a time, so each video file stored on the card will be 30 minutes max. Thanks for the question!

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

@@MattKendallPhotoVideo tHanks for that 30 minute detail.

[@okaro6595]

Do you need 1 TB? On a G7x Mark II you could record 30 hours of video. On mark III likely 15 hours of 4K. Beware counterfeit cards. 1 TB is 200-300 dollars. If you get much cheaper it is counterfeit and useless.

[@TheMot93]

[@cheezyfriez12]

If it's going to be in a phone, you should probably go for a card at at least 90mbps write to have similar performance to a usb 3.0 drive.

Hello sir im from philippine what sd card compatible for SJCAM 4K? I buy micro sd card v10 but the video is very slow.

[@kreadive]

I just purchased a Canon Vixia HF G70 camcorder. It records 4K UHD at 150Mbps 30P/24P. The SD card that I am looking at is SanDisk 256GB Extreme PRO UHS-I SDXC which has a max write speed of 140 MB/s. This card will do the job, right? I also do wedding work so I need the storage. I have a bunch of 64GB cards as well.

[@MattKendallPhotoVideo]

You can definitely make that work, but I’d suggest checking how much storage you actually take up on the 256gb card at your next wedding. That way you can decide if you really need a 256gb card or save you a bit of money going with a 128gb card. Hope this helps!

What memory card are you currently using?

[@saucybbaka]

very useful

[@dummkompf]

I have a 64gb card that I bought 2 years ago and never used. Just put it into my phone for memory expansion. I trust that this is a genuine card, because I bought it from bestbuy not from amazon or ebay. But I'm testing the write speed and it started out writing at like 12 or 13 MB/sec, now the test is halfway complete and it's only writing at 2-3 MB/sec WTF? This isn't even the card I really want to test, this was supposed to be my benchmark for figuring out the test procedure before I buy a new 512gb card elsewhere. Is there a reason why a card with the A2, U3, UHS-I, and V30 ratings would be writing so slowly when being tested in a phone? I'm using an app called "sd card test"

[@jmoss99]

When the card chops up the file, is that noticable on playback? I use a a video editor. Will these chops be seamless?

[@MattKendallPhotoVideo]

It shouldn’t be noticeable at all. I’ve stitched together plenty of video files in the past and they’ve been seamless for me.

[@jmoss99]

Good.

[@royaltykidstv]

What if it’s the same se card but instead of 170 it’s 200mbs, does that matter?
