You've finally decided on a camera after an intensive search and don't want to worry about the accessories? Understandable! We have tested memory cards in roughly 100 cameras and offer you both short purchase recommendations videos and in-depth analyses on our website.
hello, I'm a hobbyist photographer and barely focus on video. I'm thinking between an A7R3 and LA-EA4, an A6700 and an A7m4. Apparently since I'm focused on wildlife and aviation I would get the A6700 but it's very limited photography wise. Do you actually need a CF Express card for the A6700 to achieve at least lossy raw 11fps? (coming from an A77M2 with 150K+ shutter cycles)
@@memory-card fantastic! Now I just need to know how 1/8000 fully electronic shutter images look like because that's literally the very thing that keeps me up at night whenever I think of getting the A6700 in a year or so
Since you can't use those in the Nikon Z6 III, as the camera only supports CFe Type B: No. But we have tested the Pergear in a Sony Alpha 7 IV: www.memorycard-lab.com/-Cameras/Sony-Alpha-7-IV-CFe
Please Answer my question SD UHS 1 V30......How many shots SD UHS 2 V60......How Many shots SD UHS 2 V90......How many shots until the buffer is full. shooting Uncompressed Raw
V30, V60 and V90 are video speed classes, defining a *minimum* writing speed of 30, 60 or 90 MB/s respectively required for the certification. Just to say V60 card A and B may have way different results, even though both are V60. An example for the A7RV: Both the Lexar 1667x and 1800x are UHS-II V60 cards, but the 1667x is reaching ~110 MB/s during continuous shooting, the 1800x ~180 MB/s. Since the camera starts writing immediately, the "buffer size" (# of shots at full speed) differs. Rule of thumb: 55-65 shots for fast V60 and V90. But lossless compression is recommended anyway :)
Neither nor^^ You don't have to use one SD + one CFexpress, but you can. But it's not a Sony Alpha alike combined slot (Dual CFx A + SD in case of some high-end Sony cameras).
Could be both, Firmware or Software. And no, we obviously don't have a storage room with 100+ cameras here^^ So we may test it again in 1-2 years, but a fix is unlikely anyway. Also there's no indication in the changelog.
No, the first Z6 is featuring both: No SD card as well as a much slower CFexpress implementation. But we have tested the Z6 as well: www.memorycard-lab.com/-Cameras/Nikon-Z6
I got kioxia sd card v90 it has problem while reading uncompress video formats and h265 video formats and shows playback error . so I need new card v90 also my friend got same error with Kingston v90 sd card. any suggestion for not having playback errors :)
@@memory-card XAVC S-I Codec is uncompressed easy to use while editing other more compressed and I need to use proxy files and as u know 4K (4:2:2, 10bit) 59.94p (600 Mbps) is really massive files so my v90 card writes it but playback issues when reading...
No, uncompressed 4K 10 bit with 60p would require ~14,930 Mbps (3,840 px * 2,160 px * 3 color channels * 10 bit color depth * 60 fps) or roughly 2 GB/s. XAVC S-I is just an all I-frame encoding - so pretty basic H.265 or H.264, just without P- and B-frames. Since most modern PC and Mac have pretty decent HW decoding, it's just wasted HDD space for 99 % of all use cases. Anyway: The playback issue is weird, since cards are usually always faster in read-mode. But could also be a problem with the Sony Firmware. Maybe there is an FW update available?
Not really. The power consumption of UHS-I/II SD cards is usually between 1-2 W during read/write operation and 0.x mW in idle. Not enough to make it difficult.
The 18-35 f1.8 would be PHENOMENAL but they have to keep it small. The DSLR 18-35 f1.8 was a huge lens. It needs to be compact to match the smaller APSC bodies from sony and fuji. Hell I would take 18-35 f2.0 instead if it meant size reduction. Either way, a lens like this that is smaller than the fuji 16-55 f2.8 zoom would be a game changer and sell like hot cakes. Make it kit lens size and it will be constantly out of stock.
Was heißt "geht nicht" konkret? Fotografieren solltest Du ohne Probleme können. Filmen nicht, da Sony auf den XAVC-S-Container setzt, der Dateien größer 4 GB produziert und das geht nur mit SDXC-Speicherkarten (exFAT-Dateisystem).
Sure you can. But depending on your camera settings, the actual speed of the card and how many pictures you take in a row, it may take minutes to safe everything.
Definitely a huge difference! Though I'd say you also have great color grading skills. I am only worried because I read reviews that this camera has some problems, but it's great that you can use fantastic Leica lenses
Gotta love the buffer on the old tanks, D4, D5 and D6 DSLRs. being able to shoot 200 shots with no buffer slowing. Still love my cameras, but moved on to mirrorless now. Z9 is a beast, Z8 just got it yesterday as a backup. , Waiting for the weekend to go shoot some bald eagles.
Well, a Nikon D6 has 21 MP and can shoot 14.5 fps and is also using fast CFexpress cards, so the actual buffer isn't that big either^^ A 45 MP Nikon Z 8 with up to 30 FPS RAW or 60 FPS JPEG has a larger buffer, just to achieve a similar number of frames :)
Would have appreciated seeing the actual buffer clear time for the S5II in addition to the (measured? computed? estimated?) write speed in the chart. Also as best as I can tell the chart of SD card performance results for the S5II and the chart of results for the G9II on your website are identical - did you really test the two cameras independently or simply assume uniform behavior between the two?
1.) The write speed is measured (bytes written divided by the time the indicator was active). 2.) We are transparent about that fact. You'll find the explanation at the bottom of the G9 II table: *Please note:* _The results above were measured using a Panasonic Lumix S5 II. Based on a 6-point random examination, measured values are applicable to the Panasonic Lumix G9 II as well. The deviation between both cameras is below ±1 percent._ It is common practice for camera manufacturers to use the same type of image processor, image sensor or in this case memory card controller for various cameras. Sometimes the controller is within the image processor. For example, Sony used the same (very slow) controller across almost a dozen early Alpha 7 and Alpha 6x00 cameras. So we do not "assume" uniform behavior, but measure a reasonable sample size (in this case 6 out of 41 cards, so ~14 %), including the fastest card and across various (interface) speeds such as UHS-II V90, UHS-II V60 and UHS-I.
Thanks great video! I have a question. What is the max write speed the x100vi can achieve? I see UHS-I Cards that have 90mb/s and ones that have 200mb/s Thanks!
Feel free to use our test results as a reference: vturl.de/g/27d :) But as also mentioned in the video: A good UHS-I card ist good enough in terms of write speed.
We do not have an 1 TB card here (512 GB is the current maximum). But technically there is no reason why not. The X100VI supports the SDXC standard, therefore anything within SDXC shall be compatible (from 64 GB to 2 TB).
Great content! I hope you get that 1k sub! Recently decided on an xT5 instead of the new x100vi thats coming out because of the interchangeable lense. I am new to camera’s and its my very first expensive camera (expensive for me) so thank you for this!!
Scammers have it made. They can pirate and sell counterfeit products, and nobody can stop them. Even when they get caught, their products remain up. Amazon is aware, and helping the scammers, because they get paid too. If after a year or two of complaints, or if they finally get banned, they make a new company name and logo, and start again. It’s a criminals paradise right now, and Amazon pimps them out.
After our video was released and the issue forwarded to the SD Card Association, all products mentioned in this video were removed from Amazon, worldwide.
when clicking on this video i kinda assumed there would be some definitive info, but I assumed wrong. 'slight increase, maybe 50%, kinda cool' is not a usable metric. if the channel wasn't named 'Memory Card Lab" perhaps I wouldn't be so surprised by the lack of real info/data. lot of photogs really want real numbers, i'm sure if you put the work into definitive info/data you would see lot better performance from this channel, until then it's a thumbs-down from me 🤷♂
As mentioned in the video, feel free to check out the link in the video description for all test results and hourly updated price/performance recommendations: vturl.de/g/1ze Video is just a bad medium to present such data, especially for ober 80 SD cards.
i hear ya, but its at least worth putting some of your hard work on the screen for relevancy. otherwise, it just comes off as unresearched opinion 🤷♂ you've got incredibly valuable info that a LOT of photogs want to learn, but it gets burried by the overly loose & candid style of video and links that look like click-bait traps. not trying to be an a-hole here, but some small refinements to your format and I think you'll see your audience & engagement grow (which I'm guessing is the goal) @@memory-card
I know this video is from some time ago but I had a question. Will the performance change if you use the SD card as main and micro SD as back up. Will that lower the 200 fps buffer size? would it only go as fast as the MicroSD?
1.) There is no "200 frame buffer". The 200 frames are just an artificial limitation. The actual buffer is much smaller. 2) If you use 1:1 Back-Up, the slower card obviously limits the overall speed. The camera-internal buffer can't be cleared if the microSD card isn't ready. But you could use RAW (fast SD) + JPEG (slow microSD) instead. So there is still a Back-Up (JPEG) but since JPEG files are smaller, the negative effects are not as sever.
@@memory-card Thank you so much, One more follow up question and I apologize for the questions this late . Would the camera still shoot at it's 11 fps with the microsd as a raw back?
No, because they're hundreds of UHS-I V30 and some UHS-II V60 cards out there. There are also differences between UHS-I V30 SD cards. The _Lexar Play_ is much slower than a _Sabrent Rocket V30 A2_ and so on. Have a look: vturl.de/g/269 But the Nikon Z f does not support UHS-II at the microSD slot, so there's no point of using a UHS-II microSD card (instead of a fast UHS-I).
