I bought x2 SD 128 gb v9’s (coming from a 64 gb v30 for my aps-c), a sony charger, and battery which I was surprised was not included in the box! Scanning through all comments as well. I decided to switch from fuji xt20 to a full frame sony a7iv (arriving on Feb) after 5 years, thou I’d still use the later. I wanted the 256 gb but hey I’m still on the transitioning phase so I might take it slow on the budget, excited but I have to save some for the actual experience itself!

Thanks! My usual go to is XAVC S in 10-bit 4:2:2, manageable files sizes and enough flexibility to adjust colors in post if you need to. But you could also consider XAVC HS if you have an M1, M2, etc. Mac to handle it (and save file size).

Thanks! V90 cards will definitely serve you well with the a7 IV. All-intra codecs (XAVC S-I) vs. long GOP/IPB (XAVC S) basically differ in the way they capture and compress each frame of the video. Think of All-I as literally a still image for each frame, with IPB being every 3rd frame as a still, and a couple of "diffs" in between to capture what changed in the image. It's a bit much to explain here; I'll do a video on the different Sony codecs and their differences in the future...

Thanks! I use XAVC S for the vast majority of run-and-gun gigs I shoot (weddings included) and never noticed any perceivable quality difference compared to XAVC S-I. It's a time-tested codec that's been in Sony's cameras for years, so I'd have zero concerns using it.

Thanks, but they definitely can handle it. Double check your camera firmware and make sure it's up-to-date - a few folks reported similar issues that resolved once they updated it. I can confirm it works in XAVC S-I 4K 60fps - you'll see I'm in that exact mode with a ProGrade card at the end of the video in my record time examples.

Hi I have v60 cards is it worth to upgrade to v90 cards? Thanks🎉
@andrewsaraceni

I would say having at least one v90 is a good option to have, but you can certainly get by with v60 cards in the a7 IV.

You can definitely do HD 120fps with an SD card (e.g. V60 or V90). But it only looks like 8 bit 4:2:0 is available for HD 120, regardless of the card you choose.

@@rajfl90 No problem, yeah there's issues with the latest firmware. I would also check dual recording and proxy recording settings, as that could be a factor there, and try the card in both slots. I've heard it can be finicky depending on the card, but V90 SD cards support all of the shooting modes in the camera.

I think 128GB is sufficient, you would still be able to get 2.5+ hours in 4K 24p. Size doesn't impact the codecs you can film in (just the maximum time you can film).
