Sony TOUGH SD Memory Card - Durability Test (Water, Cold, Heat, Dirt, Impacts)

[@Jacob_Roberts]

I enjoyed this. Thank you. Remind me never to drive over my SD card.

[@cametacamera]

Hey Jacob, don't driv..... never mind.

[@karlgrabherr7769]

Would be nice if Sony cameras were as tough as their SD-cards

[@cametacamera]

Ouch.

[@leodv999]

you make a good test of this card, but one thing u miss to test is ocean water with salt. we are underwater photographer, i like to know if it can resist the ocean water if our camera is flooded in the sea, then the card soaked in the housing with ocean water, then, is it still can read data after in ocean water (with salt not fresh water) for a hour? can u do it to test? thanks

[@cametacamera]

It is rated IP68, so no liquid will get inside, fresh or salt (withstands immersion in 16 feet of water for up to 72 hours). We don't know if the salt water would have any effect on the metal contacts, but as long as you rinse with fresh water and dry it off as soon as possible, it should be fine. As for testing, we broke the card so that's all we're doing for now.

@@cametacamera thanks for ur opinion

[@ivanozzkii]

I got my SD ruin because of water. Looks like a good option to not worry about.

At the end of the video, one can't see the mark "CAM" you wrote on the card.

I wish you had tested it along with something like SanDisk Extreme Pro which is also water-, dust- and shockproof.

[@dasaauto2024]

The Extreme Pro is water, dust and shockproof? Really since when? I’ve had at least two fall apart on me. One literally split in two because of the temperatures inside the Blackmagic Pocket I was suing. SanDisk might be one of the lesser evils, but over the last 10 years their cards have proven to be made just as badly as every other cheap plastic SD card. I’m so glad to see some professional cameras starting to move onto professional media options like XQD.

[@jamesf3382]

Dasa Auto yep, you can wash it, or you can put it in sand, or you can drop it. I don't know anything about high temperature. I have 5 Sandisk Extreme Pro cards, none of them ever failed me (since 2012). By the way, did SanDisk replace the card?

[@dasaauto2024]

Egor Korovin Yes, I have to give them that much credit-they did replace 5 cards (this was back when Extreme Pro cards in large sizes were painfully expensive). But having held the pieces of This cards in my hands, along with a fair amount of others, I never got the impression SanDisk did anything different from anyone else, give the flimsy feeling plastic, etc. The natural wear and tear that cards go through when you’re working (vs. a hobbyist) is very different, having been in both positions. I’ve always been careful with my equipment, but during jobs things are pushed to their limits in all sorts of ways you wouldn’t otherwise participate in of your own accord. Anyway, I moved onto XQD cards (in an FS7) and the difference was so vast, for me. Speed, durability, reliability. The SD standard still isn’t robust and I doubt it ever will be (the quality of their hardware aside for a moment). Even still, I’m often asked by my camera if I’d like to update or recover the image database. Which, honestly, is a big improvement over simply losing images as used to be the case far more often. The fact that Pro photographers won’t shoot with a camera unless it has two card slots is more a testament to the overall quality and reliability of SD cards than it is a desire for redundancy for the sake of redundancy. So XQD, or CFast (and unfortunate name) or anything that works on a 2 way PCI-based connection with error checking, etc, and a solid casing is a big, big step up. Sony was sort of 15 (?) years too late with these Tough cards-but then again, they’re using an interface that’s inherently far more susceptible to interference and corruption than any pro storage format I know of.

a V60 is not 3 tonnes! unless you loaded it with concrete?

[@atalipsos9799]

Great video!

[@EdgarHernandez-xj5mx]

Shoulda put salt on the ice, put it in a bag, shook it around and then tested it. That’s middle school 101

[@cametacamera]

I slept through middle school physical science so I don't know how to make ice cream manually or drop and egg from the roof and have it survive unscathed.

[@EdgarHernandez-xj5mx]

Cameta Camera Im with you on the egg one. But salt lowers the freezing point of ice so ice can get colder!

[@EdgarHernandez-xj5mx]

Cameta Camera also since you’re here I was wondering if next time you could do the tests on a normal SD card and compare!

[@theoriginalonion7545]

Thanks

[@Fishy_TD]

epic ending :D

[@thegreatvanziniphotos5976]

Pretty hardy.

cameta camera is garbage
