I might very well be, but have you ever seen a card that isn't up to its minimum sustained write spec with a system that isn't the bottleneck? I am curious.

I'd do the same with airlines. What goes on behind the scenes is funny stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, I might very well be but in the 15 years of using hundreds of SD cards I have never seen a card not supporting its minimum sustained write speed, nor I have met anyone that did. Not even in this forum. What I have seen though, is a plethora of people confusing maximum write speeds with minimum write speeds. You might be the first person outside of my bubble that had a problem, so can you describe your experience ? Was there a problem with a manufacturer or just one faulty card?

I am not sure what you are talking about, but I am starting to believe that you also don't know what you are talking about. Advising people to buy a card that is not up to spec only because it works for you ? You should re-read what @philipd wrote: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've pointed out the inconsistencies elsewhere with what Phil said but also correct in that the standard provides for more functionality such as dual card record. Anyway, back to what you've been saying. You argue: That you have been using V rated cards for 15 years without a single failure That if a company in China does something wrong then we fix everything by suing them That if V rated cards fail then it doesn't count All of this is very silly. Tell me (us) what card you are running to record the 400Mbps stream, if it copes with dual record. This will be most helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stopping the insults is also a good idea. China or not, I have not had an SD card not meet its speed class. Have you? UHS has nothing to do with that and just specifies the bus speed and not the speed of the card itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buggz Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I'm interested in how these work for you. Please continue to let us know how well these work. Thanks! 10 hours ago, DBounce said: @futur2 I picked up these. They seem to work without issue. I choose the micro SD version as they will likely be more adaptable in the future (can also work in smartphones, drones etc). Also the construction of the micro SD seems to be more durable. As there is no hit to performance, the micro seemed to be the best option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonpais Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Actually it is less effective with longer lenses and there is unwanted motion, so it will not be a substitute for rails, a follow focus and a steady tripod or shoulder rig.

I really dislike all these people doing auto focus tests, as it seems like some don't know what they are doing, and others are just posting click bait to get views/subscribers. At 25p you are giving the processor very little data to work with. The higher the frame rate the more data points the processor has to work with and the better that auto focus will be. f/1.6 at 42.5mm and the distance he is is sitting from the camera, is again making the sensors job as hard as possible. if I had to guess He has a working DOF of about 3 to 7cm.

It is however a valid test for those of us whose everyday routine is to shoot at 24p with longer lenses wide open. There is little reason to use AF C when shooting at 8mm, like another vlogger does. ZedPro Media, an impartial reviewer competent to judge, just uploaded a fairly lengthy test with different settings outdoors and indoors with one of the 12-35mm lenses at f/2.8, and the results failed to impress. His Canon, Fuji and Sony cameras fared much better in earlier tests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tellure Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 With how amazing the GH5 in so many areas is I've been super tempted to ditch all my Sony gear and switch. That 400Mbps codec looks amazing. 6K anamorphic!? Goddamn. The autofocus is literally the only thing holding me back. I like doing a lot of gimbal run-and-gun stuff so I really want good touchscreen AF with solid tracking in my next camera. So I'm stuck with 100Mbps XAVCS for a while. Ugh.

Emanuel Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I guess people are demanding for the wrong settings I'd say... Take a 2nd look on it as said here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Lv7adPinHY&lc=z22nw1dqeqfpddynqacdp43a30qlxkbo4ggo3pb4nfhw03c010c "Are you using default settings?? You need to optimize it to be exactly perfect. Dont use the face recognizer.. use the single point on the middle and change the sensitive and speed reaction on it. And then, with the touch screen you can also choose the point to focus." In another note, another (usual) reviewer adds that: "One note I've learned is that autofocus on a subject that is standing still actually works better when the DOF is shallower (wide open aperture) than when the depth of field is deeper, f 3.5 and higher, the camera seems to hunt or pulse more often on a subject that's just standing still. I mention this because off the top of the video you made a comment that shallow depth of field is the hardest for the camera to autofocus with, and I just wanted to throw my experience out there, that shallow depth of field *has helped* autofocus for me, on non moving subjects." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptvfIX40_9s&lc=z23owpsxskigufgluacdp431bqfglq24d0pu2emivmpw03c010c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
