This is not a sexy topic, but you crafted this wonderful video for us because you care.
Thank you!

Thank you!!!

does the angelbird 1tb sd card work with the sony fx30?

Cool stuff 🎉

Hey Benj, I was on B&H and saw Zeiss made lenses for the Sony E mount and was curious if you've shot with them before and if so what were your thoughts? Love your vids!

You can get two Lexar 256MB V60 cards that are their gold variety for $150 right now. Even procapture on my OM-1 won't need more than that. It took a lot of research to figure this out. I'd always had V30 cards before. I wish I'd had your video to explain this all to me before! Thanks for the info, sir. I'm sure many people will really appreciate it.

super good bang for buck that I found was the V60 cards. They're generally barely any more expensive than the V30 cards, but can generally be a lot faster than basic V30 cards without costing as much as V90 cards.

I use a couple of V60 cards to record 4K at 200Mbps on my X-H1 (about 25MBps) and it was rock solid while the camera froze up a few times using V30 cards because of the card being too slow (probably because of thermal throttling of the memory modules that lost perforamnce as the card heated up)

It cost me just a few bucks more to upgrade to a V60 and never run into those issues again, even with long record times and heavy heat output from the camera. Maybe that was just a problem on this card specifically, or my camera specifically though

Awesome video!

Great and informative video! Glad I purchased the right specs for my needs without knowing, haha :D

We gave Madison Megan's old Rebel and couldn't figure out why none of my SD cards worked in it. Yep... TIL that it won't work with an sdXC card and needs a good old regular SD card.

I was searching about different types of cards just a couple of days ago. I'm so glad you made this video.

Benj, I hope you make a video about the Sony a6700.
I'm hoping to buy it when it's available. I would also like to know which card would be suitable for it if I wanted to get the most out of that camera. Would a v60 card be enough? Or would I have to spring for the v90 card?
And would 128gb be enough for video? I'm not planning to shoot very long videos, but I do want to create some short films and such. I am a photographer trying to get into video as well. Even though I have a lot of experience in photography, I have never shot any video with a mirrorless camera. Also I have never owned mirrorless camera, I have used them on shoots, but it was only for photography, so I don't know anything about which card to use for video and stuff.

Excellent info! Where are those card labels from?! 👀

Great video, super helpful, learned a lot!

I feel like 95% of photographers need to watch this video. So helpful!

I want to shake your hand for the video. Thank you for the education I appreciate it.

Much needed information. Thank you.

Thanks Benj, really helpful info here!

I buy SD Cards since 8 MB size, and i've had never a melon with Sandisk, Transcend, or Lexar SD Cards. But issues with Samsung EVO (into contrast with their SSDs, orange and white colored "EVO" series have been junk out of the box, DOA, in no camera working, it have been 32 & 64 GB SD cards.

great i was just looking at buying new cards

Thank you for making this I was just looking to get some new cards, great timing and information!
