For all you video-shooting T2i nubs.





Us photogs don't bother with those flimsy cards.

'Course you do. So do I. We're awesome because we shoot onto CF. And we shoot onto CF, because we're awesome.

I wish CF card's weren't a dying media and were a bit cheaper. But until they officially die, I will be an elitest!

I will never buy a 32 or 64 GB for the sole purpose that if one gets corrupted I might not be able to resist banging my head on a metal beam.

When a 32gb card holds less than 30 minute of footage, 8gb cards are such a hassle for video, fine for stills or go pro though

uh... i dunno what you're shooting bro, but 1080p60 for me with a 32gb card is like 150 minutes... 28mbps.

San Disk never worked for me, I once shoot a whole day and had some excellent footage on the card and next thing i know, its gone....The card had worked in the past too. Once you go Pro Master you never go back (Other then the tacky name)

well... he was talking about sd cards.. i dunno what camera you're shooting with sd cards and a higher bit rate than 24/28mbps. 720p60 dvcprohd is 100mbps and i would get 35 min on a 32gb card...

but is that really worth it? when youre working with an h264 for avchd codec, whats the point of a higher bit rate? without the right codec, all youre doing is adding information to the picture that you dont need?

I think I might buy one of these, just becausea my transcend cards are far from trust worthy.

Somehow, its insanely beneficial. There's a reason why they call the GH2 a "poor man's RED."

That's because Canon DSLRs aren't actually HD and don't have i-frame codecs. The 5DmkIII i-frame mode is supposedly disappointing at best.

I already have a couple 8gb's--just transcend, if I'm investing in some good cards I want them to be the best and I've yet to do my research yet so I figured i'd hold off for now
