p.1 #10 · p.1 #10 · 5D4 - What Speed/Type of Memory Cards Should I Buy? | |
If you want to be recording 4K movies, I would strongly suggest you get a 256GB card. Using that card will force the camera to format the card in exFAT, thus allowing for files bigger than 4GB (or, more importantly, longer than 1 minute). Otherwise, you will either get movies in 1 minute increments which is a pain, or you will have to format the card in exFAT using your computer every single time, which is a pain as well.
256GB SD cards are much cheaper and do work - most of the time. I have Lexar a 256GB SD card that usually works but sometimes recording stops after a couple of seconds. It always works when using a 256GB CF card, but obviously those are much more expensive (I have a Lexar one).
Why the camera doesn't always use exFAT, or at least give you a choice, is beyond me. The 1DX2 always uses exFAT on the CFast slot, which is at least something.
