Karel Bata Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Sorry, I know this has probably been talked to death here already :( but what's a good make of 8GB and 16GB card? And on a budget..? A link to a site giving me that info would be fine. Cheers! 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Genheimer Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 For GH2? I use two of the 16GB Sandisks.

Sara Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 If you want the best quality video (using highest Driftwood settings) the 95mb/s Sandisk cards are the only way to go. [url=http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/824139-REG/SanDisk_SDSDXPA_016G_A75_Extreme_Pro_16_GB.html]http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/824139-REG/SanDisk_SDSDXPA_016G_A75_Extreme_Pro_16_GB.html[/url] Even though the GH2 doesn't officially support the UHS-1 spec, these Sandisk cards use higher speed chips that work well with what Driftwood and Vitaliy are pumping out. The thread linked to above is VERY old and while some of the 30-45mb/s cards will work with "some" patches, they won't do well when stressed. Don't cheap out on your cards - you will regret it. No point in saving $20 or so here or there when the card might be useless if a patch comes out that requires something faster. Reselling cards on ebay won't get much of your investment back. Cheers!

Karel Bata Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Cheers! ;) I'm using a 600D actually. Should've said. Same advice, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Might be different. Someone with experience with the new Magic Lantern (Andrew the obvious expert) hacks would have to chime in because I don't know how intensive the new boosted bit rates are on that Canon. Cheers!
