Wow this video has really helped me out with the decision of upgrading to the new R5. I already own the a7riv and a7iv. And for the a7iv i bought one cfexpress 80gb crd and cringed when I paid almost $200 for 80 gigs. I use mostly lexar V60 cards in my Sony A7iv and a7riv with no issues. But on the a7riv it is so laggy when turning on and the buffer speed is sloooowwww. But if i trade in my r4 fot the r5 I was wondering if I needed to buy the CF Xpress cards just to get Pete performance out of the camera. Because I don’t want to spend $700 on two 160gb cfexpress cards if I don’t have to. I have been dabbling in to the videography side and I will probably never use 8K but 4K60 I definitely will be using. So I will just upgrade to the R5 and grab a few V90 cards and I will be good. your video definitely help me in this decision. Thank you so much

No problem! I would go for a V60 or V90 SD card, personally - I use V90 cards for mine. The difference is the amount of MB/s that they write, e.g. V30 is 30MB/s, V60 is 60MB/s, etc.

Hey brother, Could you please tell me what's the buffer size of a7r5 if you use V30 UHS1 SD card shooting Uncompressed RAW at 7fps... thanks
@andrewsaraceni5 күн бұрын
I don't think Sony publishes the buffer size numbers/tests for uncompressed RAWs. It handles around 1000 JPGs and 550-580 RAWs (lossless compressed or compressed), so figure maybe half of that given the doubling of file size/image data.

@andrewsaraceni I have a quick travel-related question. is it possible to shoot on a faster SD and, e.g. in the evenings, insert a slower but larger SD to copy the files *in camera* and clear the main SD for the next day? i am trying to travel without a laptop and I am a bit unsure what to do as devices to laptop-free transfer files from an cfexpress type a do not seem to exist ...?
@andrewsaraceni6 ай бұрын
I don't think there's anything that supports in-camera copying, but there may be some third-party devices/options that support that kind of workflow. Truthfully, I think your best bet is to still go with some kind of laptop.

@@andrewsaraceni I hope so. Someone told me that Cfexpress type B are the only cards fast enough to do uncropped 8k which would come to the A1ii (or whatever, for example) with stacked/global shutter. I don't know if this is true given that CfExpress type A cards (iridium for example) have sustained write of like 800mb/s or something. That seems fast enough for even 12k if I had to guess (but this is more your department with the data sheet with write speed, etc)

@@harbinger26 Yeah it'll depend on a few factors, but Sony's 8K video support for the a1, a7R V will work with V60 SD cards even today. And considering cards like ProGrade's CF Express Type A 4.0 cards support up to 1450MB/s sustained write speeds, certainly in the realm of cameras shooting 8K, it should be a safe bet to stick with.

Does log affect file size? Can phone grade log easily with few adjustments? Is it worth to shoot log video if you just want to record life here and there or is there a way to get food and better than phone camera with SOOC quality?
@andrewsaraceni10 ай бұрын
Log does not affect file size - it really depends on the resolution, frame rate and codec, at least with most of Sony's Alpha mirrorless bodies. For simple videos, I'd probably stick to S-Cinetone or Movie gamma (i.e. PP Off), and work your way up to shooting log comfortably, as it takes some time to learn to expose and grade properly.
@NetvoTV10 ай бұрын
I see, oh yeah S-Cine tone, I forgot about it just now, but why Apple iPhone new Log shooting mode produce very much larger file size? Or is it not because of the log but in addition to the log, it also record at higher bit rate? If that's the case, Sony Xperia 1 V record at high bitrate compare to standard iPhone video codec but still isn't log, why it record at higher bitrate and do we able to pull detail from the often blowout sky and the shadow too on the Sony Xperia 1 V? Do we able to make the video from A7RV straight out of the camera give natural HDR look that doesn't blown out the sky without need to go through the log and post processing?
@andrewsaraceni10 ай бұрын
@@NetvoTV I think the iPhone 15 log modes record in ProRes, which are larger codecs/file sizes. The a7R V can shoot in HDR (e.g. HLG, HLG3), but you'd also have to do some work to grade that.
