Using Micro SD in your camera instead of SD?

Sometimes micro things are better fellas

Technology takes time to work out - when they shrink things, they usually stretch to make it work and that's bad for performance but over time they get competent at making it smaller and the quality averages out, or even exceeds the prior form factor because big size is counter to efficiency.
TLDR - every emerging tech looks weak before it has time to mature.

If you have a lot of other gear that uses micro, it makes sense to go for it, like GoPro's and drones... or in your case the audio recorder. At least that's what I plan to do, since I have a GoPro, I plan on going with the micros.

the memory module inside is the same.
Whatever was the cheapest at the moment goes inside.
Yes, SD is bigger and robust as a package
while losing the microSD in the car is an ABSOLUTE nightmare.

BUT microSD is versatile as it can go into action camera and tablet etc.

With regard to performance with an adapter, I'd be surprised if there were a difference. Micro SD is literally just a smaller physical form factor of SD card, they are electrically identical. Same pins, same voltages, same interface to connect/read/write. So adapters are entirely passive. They just connect the pin on the Micro SD card to the corresponding pin on the adapter, and that's it. Performance should be identical unless something's broken.

Microsds are for newbies with low end gear.

Speed seems to be the only reservation in most these vids. I was more wondering about very very tiny separation between the microSDcard and the adapter with mirror flap vibrations at time of writing.

I had an incident a while ago...I was taking pictures in the mall (there they don't notice you if you take pictures with your phone, but if they see a bigger camera they come immediately) and in short, one of the guards came and told me "take out the card" and he took it and broke it...but what did i do before that...?!...i had a micro sd card and when i took out the card with the adapter...i only gave him the adapter lol..and he only broke it but the pictures I got some left on the micro which is small and he didn't see that it was left on me lol

Funny thing. Try to take them apart. The memory chip inside the cards are identical. The contact points and internal wiring is spread out further in the SD, otherwise no difference. The SD is of course more sturdy as it is made from more plastic.

Thank you ❤

What about when recording video?

Thanks

why do micro sd cards hold more gb, that's what I don't understand

Apparently, most of the space in full-sized SD cards is empty plastic, like NES cartridges, so the heat performance tests would be negligible. I really would like you to cut open a full SD card to confirm, though.
I imagine microSD cards can be more fiddly, because the contacts of the extra layer of electrical traces inside an adapter can get gunked up in the real world.

we knew dis

I find this a bit confusing does not physically smaller devices with the same capacity cost more to make and that would mean a full size sd card should be able to accommodate 3-4 times the flash storage just because it is bigger, right? Are the content ie the flash cips the same ones in both and just the package different? Is not a bigger card more durable just because of thicker physical protection and perhaps thicker wires/traces in the circuit?

Nice video

Thank you so much, you answered my question exactly!!! Cheers, Dave

Thanks

I feel as if the MicroSD's are way more versatile and can be used in almost anything.

It's simple really.
Since micro SD cards are mass produced way more then SD card they are way cheaper. And a little more body material.
Both have plastic body which has low conduction of heat anyway. If there is a difference it is negligible.
I suspect internal of both type has same circuit for cost effective manufacturing. One has bigger body.

It said format was to slow? It's a Mico sd

Why won't my SD card work as internal storage

I often get card errors because poor contact between the card and the adapter. This is not a major issue as you can just push the card to the adapter properly but it can be annoying. That is why I would not recommend buying Micro SD cards for camera use. If you already have one and have no problems go ahead and use it.

Love the dog!!, very useful info, thanks & congrats!!!

I don't know why, but I think SD is more reliable than MicroSD.

going for the micro sd card cuz vivobook pro has a built in microsd reader

So not exactly photographer related, my dashcams run off microSDs. My Blackvue D750S 2 channel ate through 2 Lexars and 1 Sandisk over the course of just 1 year, all with the same usage rate. But I have killed just 2 Samsungs over the course of over 6 years, sometimes with extended usage like on road trips and parking mode...but I have lost just as many getting the bloody thing in/out of tlmy dashcam. Now I don't think Samsung makes full size SDXC cards which is a shame considering these benchmarks. And they were a fraction of the cost, especially compared to Lexar.

Your dog looks like a nice dog!

I've been using a microSD forever. But I was curious to see if I was missing out on any speeds. I normally never take out the card out of the adapter unless I'm transferring photos to my surface pro, which has a built in micro SD card slot. However, it's actually not that fast using the slot using an external reader. The computer is 8 years old and I'm guessing when they built it, they didn't have a fast reader on it for some reason.

Thank u bud

wow you answered my question! thanks

The tiny slide switch on the SD card,
which way do I slide it to store information?

doggy

Great video! Thank you :)

Great video bro really helpful

What I wonder is if there's a difference between microSD adapters? Do you need the one that comes with the ultra fast microSD or would one that came packaged with a slow microSD produce the same results?

Thanks man

Thank you very much. Finally I found a real world comparison. There are so many opinions on this being published as facts!

Never got a micro SD working in my Oly EPL=5

ISO your dog sleeping. 🤣

will the SD card work susessfully WITHOUT the micro card?

Anyone have experience using these adapters for Strontium micro sd on mirrorless or dslr?

Thanks a lot. It seem to be doesn't really matter to my old Nex 5N. I will just get a any newer class 10 micro SD card.

Micro SD would be more reliable in my opinion as the adapter can break and bend but the card itself will be fine, SD cards over time start to flex so the entire card needs replacing

I just bought a 128GB SD card thinking it was an micro SD card...I don't even have a laptop or camera or whatever. I wanted something from my phone rip 30 euros

Micro SD cards with bundled adapters are much expensive than if you buy without the bundled adapter. So, please answer this - Is there gonna be any difference between a branded bundled adapter and a generic one?
