possibly tomorrow, Amazon have a price gathering algorithm that scours internet prices and adjust theirs to be cheaper, Argos is one of it's focus points.
only thing is you have to have it delivered so there is a waiting time.

What are people using these cards for? The writing speed is so slow it takes hours (literally) to fill, so it's no good as quick-transfer media. And it's not microSD so it can't go in android tablets for movie storage. So what is it being used for?

Camera? I have a dslr and it would be useful to me. I recently bought a 32gb though - now wishing I hadn't!

For a digital camera, for a video. I'm using one for music in my car. And also write speed is not bad on this card, good enough for photos and fhd video.

4K is about 80mbps, which is 10MB (megabytes) per second. So 600MB per minute.
The SD card will be about 120GB when formatted. So it can hold 200 minutes of 4K video. Or at least 400 minutes of high-bitrate 1080p video. So 3.3 to 6.6 hours of video depending on resolution. So my question is who needs to record that amount of video without transferring it to a PC/tablet? I can't think of a normal situation. CCTV? Filmmakers?
I always take stuff off my card asap. 128GB would be a lot of data to lose.

Answer for myself: 4K Go Pro.
Personally I'd still use multiple cards, 4 x 32GB would be a lot safer.

This is an SD card not Micro SD so won't fit in a Go Pro... :wink:

Photos are let's say 20MB each for very high quality JPEG, that's 6,000 photos. Normal photos would be OVER NINE THOUSAND.
When do you need 6,000 photos?

Good card. I use it for 4k recording on Panasonic G7 which despite being up to 100Mbps has never caused problems with this card. As to size... I have never more than half filled it, but at this price why bother with 64Gb?

I keep my pictures on my card for years, I chose to have that act for me as a backup in case something goes wrong with my HDD. Let's say I'm just lazy.... but in reality you go for a week of vacation, big trip, take a lot of pics, video. Why not? Also in my Car DVR I am using 64GB card and really considering having a 128GB as to keep more video at any time. But everyone differs in use. Price difference is not huge nowadays .

Not aware of any 4K GoPro's that take full size SD? I thought they stopped with the Hero2 and models since are micro SD only?

Agreed, I filled 3x 64gb cards on our Florida trip last year. Bought another Sandisk Extreme 64gb from the recent Amazon lightening deal for this years trip :smiley:

Seems this can cope with 1080p 50m so even though write speed is rubbish it works ok enough.

Someone who likes to record video whilst away on holiday for 2 weeks. Just 30 minutes a day is 7 hours of video.
A selection of video entertainment for a long haul flight?
One of these cards can hold about 100 music albums if they are held in a lossless format.
Probably plenty more applications for a big card if I wasn't too tired to think about it.
Thinking about where we are headed, I can remember when a 512MB CF card was considered huge and expensive.

Trouble with a big card on holiday is, if you lose it all your images are gone. We went to Disneyland and near the end of the holiday we lost (or got stolen) are camera and we lost every image we had taken. From now on I take multiple smaller cards and switch every few days.
Professional photographers do use JPEG, mostly news, sports etc... Where the images need to go straight to the desk, no time for processing.
As for JPEG vs Raw, if you get it right in camera then no, no one should be able to tell the difference. Raw is just unprocessed, where as jpeg is processed in camera.

I had a 256gb SD Card years ago. Bought it on a trip to America because it was cheap. Only paid $99 dollars for it lol
When I hit the windows, all the cats run away. Am I doing it wrong?

Not sure you'd appreciate a slow card - the rapid click feature suffers when you use a slow card. I had to chuck a cheap 32GB one that i had picked up in a sale.

Would this be good enough for a point and shoot, Canon gx7? Don't necessarily need this amount of space, mainly using for flicks. Any other recommendations would be great as leaving in next few days.

22 Apr 161#47
And I bet it was a 32gb card with a 256gb partition on it.

Why is it a better spec? The Lexar says 45MB/s and the Sandisk says 80MB/s. Of course both might be porky pies.

The benefit of raw is in the flexibility it gives you in processing later as you like - with JPEG the camera makes all the decisions and cooks in your settings such as white balance and colour settings. For example you might want to recover shadow detail to help avoid blowing out highlights in your exposure in situations where you can't reasonably use a strobe or flash to illuminate everything else. Raw captures what the sensor sees, whereas if you use JPEG that level of detail, and the benefits of your camera's dynamic range, can be lost. Obviously both have their advantages and disadvantages just like the P, A, S, and M modes based on the skill of photographer and the needs of the situation. But in many situations the flexibility of RAW is very useful. It's not about getting it right in the camera, it's about getting the most from your camera.
