Title: SD card speeds??
Post by: pdastoor on October 04, 2012, 01:13:11 AM

I am going to buy a 64GB SDXC card, class 10. I saw three of them with different prices and different speeds but all class 10 and I am not sure what that means. They were 30mb, 45mb and 95mb. Sandisk by the way. I plan on doing lots of video recording in HD 1080p and lots of pictures too. Obviously I would go with 30mb one cause its cheaper but will that be a problem for me or should i go with 95mb since all of them are class 10.

I plan on using a point and shoot to do all the recording. Please help, the prices are expensive but if the speed doesnt do much then its better to go with cheapest right?
I will paste the links here to the 3 cards:

The mb speed is what matters.If your shooting with a point and shoot your probably recording 17mb avc?So i think the Sandisk 30mb will be fine.But if you are using a DSLR the video recorded is 50mb per sec. and i would go for the 95mb in that case.The card i used on my point and shoot for video could not keep up with video on my DSLR.
