SD Cards Deals & Offers

you can literally buy these and sell for 75+ on ebay when they arrive. But because doesnt say "SanDisk" on it. wont go hot I shoot weddings on 2 a7r3's too, often use the burst 10fps and never filled the burst. But i guess other types of shooters like sports may require faster buffer clearing. Although most that go for these cards, is to shoot 4k120 on a7s3/etc

That's true, but it's sod's law that the shot you want is the first one you miss. It's a great price, don't get me wrong.

a 200Mb card wont give you much more shooting before stopping. You get like 30-40 photos in the buffer, after that, 10FPS is about 1Gb/s on a a7r3. doesnt matter what card you have, after 50+ shots, they will all slow down to about 1 photo a second. Also worth noting that even though certain cards write at 100Mb/s, 150Mb/s and so on, sony cameras cant write to them at those speeds. for example a extreme pro, capable of 293Mb/s, only writes at a maximum of 141MB/s in camera. a V60 Tough, capable of 282, maxes at 129 in camera

It's not video that's the problem. It's photos. When they're 42mp and 80mb each, you really need fast write when you're snapping sway at fireworks or sports and the like. I swapped it for an R3 which has a much bigger buffer and UHS-II. Turned a very capable but frustrating camera into one that's a joy to use.

For video I don't know many cameras that write faster than this? A7r2 maxes as 100Mbps,thats 12.5Mb/s I recorded plenty of 100mbps on the slower v30 integral cards before without issues.

A1 class 10= slow write

Trust isn't anecdotes.......I think it's reasonable to expect Seagate once they've won their customers trust back to betray that by cheapening the drives.........time will tell but companies get greedy make mistakes and only part of that customer base comes back......if they do start failing drives again they'll lose all of their customers.......in the end I am totally western digital I've yet to see a new drive fail...... SanDisk micro SD cards are the same i slam them too that's again far from anecdotes.......your trying to provide black and white answer which I never made its ok to look at a cheap manufacturer and question why they are cheap.......then you can say cheap and nasty.........I don't take chance with data whilst I have everything backed up twice my photos in the cloud too I see the importance of putting a hard drive in my mum's house just in case my house burns down.....this is just a 16gb card tbh I have a SanDisk wireless stick 16gb 50 quid that copies wirelessly over an intranet so I'm covered even in remote senarios where you need to put things on tellys or phones of course you have WiFi direct but what if that isn't available...........

Whilst anecdotes are not data, I have six U3 V30/V60 tier Integral cards for use in various mirrorless cameras and they get slammed. They seem to cope. None have failed in a few years use. That being said I have 5+ year old Sandisk Extreme cards that are also still trucking, my only beef with them is the wildly inconsistent performance stats quoted (or suspiciously not mentioned) on their packaging. I've had a lot of Kingston micro-SD cards fail in my time, which might just be bad luck but I've left them alone in recent years.

Integral are like Seagate I wouldn't touch them........whereas SanDisk are like western digital........everybody says Seagate don't f everyone over anymore but they did once......trust is everything when you talk about data loss......I think in 10 years one of my wd recert 4tb orange my passport drives with SMR btw came up with a check disk error it was cexxed the next day and I lost a tenner

I've been a photographer for 10 years. Shooting cards back to back. Only had a few sandisks, mostly other brands, in 10 years I had 2 cars issues (full card dead and 1 with a batch corrupted files) both issues were on sandisk. I rather trust far more reliable and uk made brands like integral which are not just cheaper but faster and so far, much more reliable to me

If your using them like dash cams you need endurance cards.....if SanDisk find dashcam footage on a normal Cards that invalidates the warranty.....it's in the t+c I'm not saying you are going to get caught because there won't be dash cam footage but if your usage is the same then I'm not surprised you've got failures......my usage is karaoke I've raided a 400 and a 512 to give me access to rigmars 180000 karaoke backing tracks my usage is industrial but not endurance .....I'm a music promoter / manager

X100V for 1.99 - bargain! :{

Evidently the poster repurposed this deal after realising the previous error RE the camera model. Fair enough!

I got a notification for mirrorless camera as well, confused
