Understanding Memory Cards for Photographers

[@LiviaPewtress]

That was the best explanation about memory cards that I have ever heard. Thank you so much.

[@avishekghatak2176]

You will not get that speed unless you use a proprietary card reader which can get that speed through spftesre

[@ginabean6773]

How did you know? Just what I am looking for today. Thanks, Joanie 😀 And your hair is fabulous!!

[@TheBiteShot]

Ha ha! Amazing!!

[@pjdilip]

Excellent video, pleasantly delivered, very useful, grateful

[@randymelton6096]

Card speed is really only an issue if recording video or taking action shots with continuous bursts. When shooting food, portraits or landscapes pretty much any old SD card will do as long as it has the space the photographer needs for the file sizes their camera records. Nice to see someone do a video on card speeds though, love your videos, very informative. Also love the new blonde hair, it suits you. :)

[@AlysiasArtStudio]

OMG! Your hair is 💥🔥💥 Your content is always incredibly helpful!!!

[@yathradairy765]

I have never seen a video explaining memory cards so well in detail before. Well explained. Thank you.

[@lizmeans365]

Well, I had no idea memory cards were so specific. I'm off to check my cards against what my camera uses, and delete content on the cards (which have been backed up). You have saved me many $$ cos I just keep buying new cards in the believe I need to store my photos on them! Also just LOVING the new hair colour Joanie!

[@TheBiteShot]

So happy to help!!! Hooray!

[@victormeldroo]

the best explanation of memory cards on the web.

[@DavidOxford606]

Joanie, as always, your content is 100% on point. Another great video that will be very helpful to EVERYONE. Thank you for all you do!

[@TheBiteShot]

Thank you so much!

[@nessalii]

Merci beaucoup pour ton aide ❤😊

[@lauracaptaintv]

Wow! Hi Joanie, you are rocking the short, blond hair, it looks great on you. Of course I am partial to short blond hair, your hair is similar to mine. LOL ☺👱 It is fun to play around with hair styles and colors. Oh, and great info on the memory cards too. 👍

[@TheBiteShot]

Thank you so much!

[@besosdenyc]

Thank you Joanie, for demystifying what all those numbers and letters mean. I do feel more powerful and confident; I just checked my cards and noted that the staff at Adorama did a great job of guiding me when I purchased them. Love your new look, as always, very inspiring!❤👏🏽

[@steveh2268]

Joanie, great video. There are lots of gear videos on youtube but not that many dedicated to memory cards. It seems like no one ever discussed read/write speed until the Sony A1 and Nikon Z9 came out with their massive file sizes and and incredible frame rates. One thing I might mention is that there are two types of CF Express cards - Type A and Type B. Like SD cards the difference between these involve storage size and read/write speed. Regardless, this was great information. I will recommend it to my friends who are either new to photography or trying to up their game.

[@Laura-dolphinfan]

lovin the hair !!! great video thank you

[@TheBiteShot]

Thanks for watching!

[@firefeethok_tui2355]

This is exactly what I needed. So much confusion and let me tell you, people that are in the stores or people that you can talk to where they sell these things, they don’t have any idea what they’re talking about now that I watched this video.

[@bobbullethalf]

Great information, just what I was looking for.

[@josephwilliams3rd658]

How to show what on the 64gb SD memory card?

[@JournalsOfACakeArtist]

So grateful for this info, thank you! ✨️

[@TheBiteShot]

You're so welcome!

[@johnwinter6061]

Good commentary. Table says it all when selecting a card type.

Once upon a time, I used to do food photography and during that time she( Joanie Simon) was my hero, my role model and my Guru. I transitioned to sports photography. My search terms got changed, my passion got changed, my most watched youtube channel got changed. Today, after so many years, I suddenly came across your Video. And I can't make you understand my feelings in words! It was suchha surreal feel deep inside me, seeing my Mentor, my role model again! In India, when a disciple meet his Guru, he offers Pranam(salutation) to his Guru. I offer you, Joanie Simon, the same. And with that hairstyle and color, you are looking even more gorgeous! You got younger, I feel! hahah

[@TheBiteShot]

Glad to hear you've found a love in sports photography!! Thank you for the kind words

[@sportsphotographer_india]

@@TheBiteShot Just look WHO replied!!! My God! It's so kind of you! Ya, actually I had to make that transition. Food photography market in India has got saturated, thanks to the free work delivered to those restaurants by those food vloggers. So, I thought it to be the right time to pivot to a genre that I knew least that i loved but it really makes me feel fulfilled. I love playing soccer, my childhood passion. I thought why don't I mix my present passion (photography) with my childhood one!. And thus.... But wait, didn't I subscribe yet?... Done.

[@lindachubbs1790]

Thanks for the information! You are rocking the Blonde!

[@moukyl]

marvellous. thank you

[@supersaIAN333]

Whoa! Honestly I was away for a couple of months and wasn't able to check your channel. Had to double check if im in the right one, after seeing your new haiiirrrrr. Haha! Looookkksssssss Gooooddd!

[@etriggs1]

[@TheBiteShot]

Oh dear! What brand have you been purchasing? I've had the best experience with Western Digital products.

[@gourmetdoneskinny]

You look so cute Joanie!! Thanks so much for the great info!

[@TheBiteShot]

Hope you're doing well! Always makes me smile when your name pops up!

[@jefferyshall]

Wait UHS The roman numeral 1 max is 104Mb/so how was that card’s maximum burst speed 170Mb/s

[@juredernovsek5618]

great video. thank you

[@jcddupuy]

So confused: If the card doesn’t distinguish between Read and Write speed isn’t what is shown on the card the “Read” speed? In the example you show with the Sandisk Extreme Plus 190 MB/S you call single number shown (190 MB/s) the “Write” speed. Would be good to let people know that if only one number is shown it is most likely the Read, not the Write speed. Unless I’m wrong. Even in the specs of the card in the fine print it’s 90 MB/s write speed and 190 MB/s read speed. Unless I’m wrong but then let me know please.

[@rangersmith4652]

One major advantage of shooting stills with ten+ year old cameras is that just about any SD or CF card one can readily buy will work just fine, so you can buy slower ones at a lower price. But do check your specs to be sure. What happened to U2? Last I heard, it still hasn't found what it's looking for.

[@TheBiteShot]

hahaha!! love it :)

[@monkeywizard77]

I watched this over 2 days so It might have been mentioned earlier, and I forgot about it... But i don't remember hearing about the difference between CF Express type A & B. My Canon R5 uses B and Sonys I believe use CF Express A (which also work with the QHD slots I believe). And At this time, the CF-A's are considerably more expensive than the B's.

[@TheBiteShot]

Ah yep, the two types are different in terms of write speed so best to match with the one your device requires.

[@jpdj2715]

The cards are a business model for selling memory cells in chips. The price depends on several factors - see my comment under the video - but in the case of Sony, also is a way of moving out of a more competitive market and being able to earn more money from the buyers. Type A is smaller, generally considerably slower, and more expensive per GB storage. Because the cards are slower, they likely heat up less, being throttled by their top speed.

[@dasarilochan]

Hai, I have a74 and I do only photography, is it necessary to have Cexpress or can go with UHS-I/II A90 if so will it effect any format issues Please suggest

[@MoveWithAD]

From where I can get a nikon memory card?

My pleasure! Hope you're well Adri!

[@baecloudy3436]

Question I have a job coming up where minimum my photos need to be 3mb/mp and max 7-8mb/mp. How do I make this possible, I either go over or under the requirements but I’m doing what all the recommendations said, I’m. Using medium fine, not working, I was told not to destroy photos in camera rather u can ‘fix them in editing, but then after I get more or under still

[@nessalii]

Super vidéo ❤

[@Buckl]

very well stated.

[@Mudly71]

WoW ty ❤🎉

[@newgaming1342]

How to verify it is just a name of xc or it really works a like xc

[@radeklukas]

There is no reason why you shouldn't use SD card adapter in camera (or for writing in general). Sure, you can make the point that microSDs are easier to break or lose but from apart from those practical differences, there is nothing to worry about.

[@katrinpetersen9508]

excellent as always, Joanie!!! Thank you 😊

is it just me or she used backwards compatible the other way around?

[@gabrielvaldezr]

she starts off saying " i wanna make it simple" but rants for 20 minutes

[@firefeethok_tui2355]

This is what you call a rant? Your comment is rude. If youre old enough to be married or habe a s.o., feel really sorry for them……Its for people who dont know about SD cards. So if you know about them, why are you here?

[@JoeJ94611]

I agree with you regarding gabriel’s comment.If I could narrate my video as professionally as she did, I would be very pleased.

[@taylorsmith2556]

​@@firefeethok_tui2355tbh this is rude... Maybe consider your response when calling somebody out. Also don't forget this is america and everyone is entitled to their opinion, even if it's wrong.
