bonesandskin Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Hey all, Just wondering what memory cards everyone uses for 4k For a7Sii, NX1, LX100 -- maybe soon the GX85 -- I've been using SanDisk Extreme PRO SD UHS-I SDXC U3 (64 at first now 128gb), but B & H is pretty much sold out for a least a week. These have been flawless. (I moved over to them after I started getting lots of write speed errors on NX1 and LX100 with Transcend R95 W60 MB/s UHS-I -- even though they worked fine at first) Of course I can order from somewhere else, but I thought to ask if anyone has had any less expensive cards work flawlessly over the long haul. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 I wouldn't chance anything less than what seasoned users were advising to get - some of the cheaper and lesser cards were occasionally failing. Would rather have overkill that always works than slight underkill that could fail once in a hundred shoots. Why scrimp on a few pounds when using thousands of pounds worth of equipment? The SanDisk 128GB Extreme Pro UHS-I SDXC U3 Memory Card (Class 10) is the only card I will ever buy for my a7sii. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsenroc Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 I had a Kingston 128GB UHS-I which claims 90MB/s, it worked well on my NX1 but when I put it in my Pocket I got serious dropped frames. It turned out this Kinston only has 50MB/s. So I screwed my important moment of life and I have my lesson learned. Sandisks are the right way to go.

bonesandskin Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 Thanks Davey and gsenroc, that is pretty much what I figured Have folks compared Sandisk Extreme to the Extreme Pro? Any difference in real world? I am getting half a dozen 256 cards for a big project coming up, so the $15/each adds up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff CB Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I'd been getting consistent card errors on the NX1 with Lexar, while my "slower" old Sandisk cards had been rock steady. Picked up 2 Sandisk Extreme Pro's 256gb cards, hopefully they keep working flawlessly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdonovic Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I use Sandisk Extreme cards on my gh4 and they are relatively cheap. Ive also used $10 Patriot Class 10 cards, and the camera was still happy. Go with Extremes and you will be fine I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
