Just picked up my first camera and didn’t know what memory card was needed. I appreciate the amount of time and effort you put into making this video. Thank you, Dieter.
Got my first Sony A7SIII camera and am not a technical person. Looked at dozens of videos, and yours was the best one for beginners (great pace, nice use of visuals, laymen's terminology, direct/to the point). Would love to see other videos such as: how to set up your camera for shooting videos, how to transfer video to laptop, using card readers (necessary or not), connecting external mic to computer (i.e. Yeti) would be great! Thank you!
Too many things that never understood about choosing the right memory card but you ,Dieter, made it very simple to understand and I am truly grateful for your detailed explanation. Very well done video on the subject.
Wow, very well explained video. Before I would look at a SD card, even though it was written in English, it still looked like a foreign language to me, before I saw this video. Liked and subscribed. Cheers from Whitehorse Yukon.
I got a 128GB Sandisk Extreme Pro U3 (10) V30 card when the GH4 came out. We were told you'd need a super fast super expensive card to read and write 4K at 400MBS. What a load of rubbish. I still have that same card now shooting 6K 200MBS on the Panasonic S5ii and it still has never let me down. This exact same card is on Amazon right now for £19.95
Thanks so much for this video. I've been using SD cards since the early 2000s and I STILL need to refer to something like this to remember what all the symbols and classes and speeds mean! 😁🙏
Thanks for your advice. Ive watched many videos on this subject and found you to be the best in keeping it short and simple. Kooking forward to more videos from you. Awesome job!!
Great informative video! I bought the Sony A7III 4 years ago and have really enjoy shooting with it. I took close to a year break off of no pictures due to some life changes. finally, I’m back at it, and leaving to New York for a week. I’m not bringing any hard drives so thinking of purchasing one more card to add to the 4 I already have. Looks like I need a C10, V60, SDHC II with 64GB. That’s should probably do it. Thanks for boosting my confidence with SD know how. Cheers
Best video hands down on this subject learning a lot about filming and investing in a Sony ZV 20.1 and wanted a great card, this helped me know exactly what I need. God bless you thank you!
Thanks, always great information or as a refresher also. I just checked my cards, all SanDisk, San disk Extreme 32 at the moment in my X-E4, SanDisk Extreme Pro 64 in my X-T3 (must have been on sale) 1 spare Extreme Pro 32, for the X-E4 2 spare SanDisk Extreme 32 for the X-T3. & one unused Cameron SDXC 128 which was definitely on sale. Shooting photos only , no video, am a retired hobby type photographer.Waiting to get back to Europe again post Covid for more riverboat cruise vacations to exercise my camera.I also use a fine tip silver Sharpie pen & write the purchase date on the card & on the card case.I also write the camera model on the case & card when able so I don't mix them between cameras.
Good discipline on using the labels! I don't have enough around to actually need to label yet, but it's guaranteed to be the first thing I'll forget. I have 3 Samsung T5 drives and the way I mark them is with various pieces of tape haha
Thank you for a great video. and explanation. I am wanting to learn now how to make short clips and video. So I subscribed hopefully to learn all I can. I have the Fuji XT-4 and love it
My advice is to pick up Davinci Resolve for video editing:). I like Capture One for RAW processing but it's more expensive than Lightroom or free versions
2:12 SDHC cards may come formatted in FAT32 because of backwards compatibility reasons, that's all. It takes literally a few seconds to simply format an SDHC card (or even a regular SD) as exFAT and it will work just fine, as long as your camera supports exFAT (which is any modern camera made in the past 10 years or so).
For most use case scenario most people will be good with a V30 card. Like you said: buy extra cards, not just a big one: it can be cheaper to buy 2 64Gb cards over one 128Gb and if one card fails you have the other. Or if you lose it... That said, check your camera manual for the actual bitrates and divide by 8: a camera shooting 30mb/s will need a card that records continuously at least 3.75MB/s so a C10 or V10 is enough. Meanwhile a camera recording at 150mb/s will need a card that can record at 18.75MB/s so in that case a V30 card needed. Some cameras will shoot super high bitrates likes 400mb/s and for that you'll need V60 minimum. Unless you're going for 8k, V90 is never needed and the extra money not worth it.
on the Nikon Z6ii I've been using a 95MB/s Lexar card for a while with no issues. 64GB is a bit on the low end for 4k 30fps, especially for basic talking head videos because you can only can 1-2 hours on a card
Thank you for the detailed video. I wanted help on something hoping anyone can answer my questions... I use a ( canon EOS 5d mark III ) and i want to know which card is best to use for making HD Video preferably in 4k? and which card is best for taking fast photos? or for Bothe? as i have the mark III i don't know which card these days have the compatibility to shoot 4k video with this camera as it is an old camera now.
Great info. Thank you! I’m new to all of this and a true BEGINNER 😂. I jsut learned a lot from this video. The prices were confusing to me. It seems the same cards were $30 at some places and $200 at others.
Had to take a moment to thank you for your video, is super clear and easy to understand for beginners, the moment you said you were into hiking and nature adventures I hit suscribe, I'm into the same so is great to see a channel with a mix of those topics, would love to keep seeing your content, keep it up!
Thanks! This is IMO the best explanation video out there going through ALL card details! I saw some other video walking through ZV-E10 quality comparison. The video suggested to shoot at 4k/60MBPS... Is a V60 OK, or in a case like this, do you need to get the next highest? So V90? Or is it OK to shoot on the limit of the card?
Thanks for the compliment! Theoretically, there is no advantage to using a card that's faster than what your camera is capable of. It only records data that's being fed by the camera, so there is no difference in quality. Unless your card is too slow. Then you can get things like dropped frames.
Great video, much appreciated. The day these cameras start supporting at least mSATA is the day I will consider buying a real camera. For now, it looks like I am stuck using my phone and that is good enough for non-professions and non-hobbyists.
And me thinking that any SD card will do! Learnt something new and will never look at an SD card in the same way again 😆.
I have a way to make people's lives more complicated, sorry 😄
Any Reviews on the SANDISC 32GB/512MB SD CARD???
@@kristofernewton422don't take the ultra row. Go for the extreme. In the most cases the v30 are enough.
You dont race a standard Lada from the 70s do you? 😂
I thought so too but realized something was wrong when my GoPro kept saying SD issues and was glitching in 4k😅
Just picked up my first camera and didn’t know what memory card was needed. I appreciate the amount of time and effort you put into making this video. Thank you, Dieter.
Happy to hear that! Thank you for taking the time to leave this nice comment!

This was perfect in every way! Thank you!
Thank you so much! You did an amazing job at simplifying everything! 🙏
This is the best memory card tutorial I watched on YT and I appreciate you breaking it down simply and practically for us.
thanks man, 1 year later and i can say, you helped me a ton.

Hi. I am Belgian living in Nepal for the past 40 years.
Thanks gor the advice
Great video, I’m just starting and this has really helped me mate thanks
thank you so much mate. my camera was recording files in chunks. I just checked my card and it SDHC. I will get the SDXC now. thank you so much.

I got the same one how you get it to 6k and how do you get your videos to always export 4k 👀 lol
You can only feel the limitations when you decide to shoot slowmotion ...higher frame rate
Thanks so much for this video. I've been using SD cards since the early 2000s and I STILL need to refer to something like this to remember what all the symbols and classes and speeds mean! 😁🙏

Zeer hulpvolle video. Prachtig en in detail uitgelegd. Ik ben fan van dit kanaal.
You explained it very well, thank you .

It was a big question mark in my head and I solved it thanks to that video.

If you don't want to edit and just enjoy snapping shots, that is largely true
Great video thanks
Great content cheers mate
