The BEST explanation of the vital differences between the two SD card types! I am much obliged to you, sir, for helping me understand the cryptic (for me) markings on the different SD cards! Such a relief when ordering the right SD memory cards for my Canon camera! Thank you thank thank you a million times! Great video with an obvious and accurate explanation! Stay blessed! Greetings from Sweden! 👍💯👍💯👍👌🙏💖

After a decade long pause I'm back to photography, just bought a Cannon M6 Mark II and opened it and it said "no SD card". Which made me remember that I also need to buy an SD card. :-) Went to Amazon and was overwhelmed by all the options out there! Mostly I was curious about whether I need an UHS2 or UHS1. You explained everything so clearly well in good detail. Even answered the questions I didn't know I should have asked. Now ordering a SanDisk 128GB Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-I Card and its reader with good conscious. Thanks a lot for sharing your expertise and helping our newcomers like me. ^_^ Now I'm gonna dig into your channel for video codec, file format videos. :-)

Splendid job of explaining the various markings on a memory card. You would make an excellent facilitator.....kudo's to you!!!

That was a really helpful video Roger. It's great to have all the important information about these cards in one place. Congratulations on once again hitting that ball out of the park!

Thanks for this very informative video. I've recently upgraded from the M6 to the M6 mark II and am constantly discovering new things about it. I just learned today that I can charge the battery in camera with any cheap Anker PD charger instead of the 130 EUR canon charger (mind blown). Now I finally understand the memory cards specs as well. Thanks again for this video! ❤

Wow. You are the best at explaining complicated concepts

Great video my friend! It’s definitely super important to understand the difference! Subbed!

Thank you, for explaining the difference.

Excellent explanation, thank you! I just used the card from my 60D that I sold after getting the M6 Mark II - luckily, it is a V30 class card. Since I don‘t use high-speed bursts, this will work just fine for everything else. Saved me some money! :-)

Great, thanks! Very informative video!

Very useful info Roger, thanks pal

Thank you for the information. You’re great at talking to camera. New subscriber!

Great video man. Good to finally know what that little V number means haha.

This was very helpful! Thank you

For the M5 and R, I like the Lexar Pro 1667x cards. They are technically UHS-II cards but with the write speed and cost of UHS-I cards. In other words, they are cheap and fast enough to keep up with my cameras. The bonus is that the read speed is on par with UHS-II cards; so, I can offload to my computer or iPad really fast.

Thank you. It is pretty useful information.

Good explanation. THANKS

I had one (Lexar 1000x, V60, 128GB) card already, bought for computer use with a UHS-I PCI card reader. I figured it would max out the 104MB/s UHS-I read speed. The computer is now enjoying a newer fast 256GB (UHS-I) card, so I figured I might as well put the UHS-II one into the only device I have that has that interface. I probably wouldn’t have bought UHS-II just for the camera. It seems like a fast UHS-I (104MB/s) should be able to handle writes at 60-90MB/s without the faster interface. UHS-II goes to 312MB/s. An easy to find advantage of UHS-II is that if your computer has a II reader, it’s likely your high speed cards support READ speeds over 104MB/s. Which would make a difference if you fill up large cards and want to save some time. Sadly, the camera doesn’t support USB 3, so you have to remove the card to download over about 25MB/s USB 2 speeds.

I use a 64 GB SanDisk Extreme on my EOS M50. I bought it as the my old cards could not do 4K. At the time it was some 8 € cheaper than the Extreme Pro. If the card is too slow you just cannot shoot 4K, it stops on seconds.

You did a great job 😊

Great video appreciate it 😊

I personally shot 4K 60fps and 6K 30fps 200Mbps 10bit 4.2.0 HLG on my Lumix GH5 M2 using a Sandisk V30 without any issues. So, the V30 is not only for 1080p

I have a Canon eos R7 on order and wonder what memorycard that is required/recommend for it. Maby a topic for a new video. Ps. I do not think I will use the highest bitrate settings, but who knows

Hey… you forgot to mention the 5th speed number on the card: the “x” rating, which is relative to the ancient CD-ROM spec of .15MB/s. Read speed guarantee only, I guess, and probably just for sequential read.

I was thinking that the Canon EOS M6 Mark II provides 4K videos. If so, should I be getting the UHS II? If I understand you correctly it sounds like UHS I is for 1080p videos, but I'm sure the UHS I is much cheaper if you think it doesn't matter.

Exelent video! And thank fo speak slowly!!

Hi B&H store told me that for my Panasonic Hc-x1500 camera which records up to 4: 2: 2 All Intra is long gop 200mb uhs-ii cards are useless as the camera only supports Uhs-1 in your opinion is correct?

Great video guy. I'm going to plunk down and get this or the X-S10. Can you tell me if I can just power this on and start shooting? I ask because I ride a motorcycle and enjoy pulling out my GoPro with my left hand, powering up and start shooting with the same hand while riding. I would find it bothersome if I had to power this or the X-S10 up and acknowledge a message holding with one hand and pressing a button with the other, as I've heard you have to do with this camera. Thanks man!

I'm getting Soo confused between all cameras .. I want to film cars and take pictures so I thought of buying Sony a6400 but it has very bad rolling shutter... N this is the camera I think has good performance for the price... But should I wait for canon to release new 800$ full frame camera next year ?... Which is the best film camera with decent picture option in 1000$ range.?

I have seen 128gb V30 with 200mbs, is the 200mbs better than the 170mbs that you are showing here?

my card is v30 and shoots 4k.

You cover a lot of basic concepts but missed the original sd speed descriptor of “x” which is still used by some brands. I disagree about your conclusion that UHS-I with V30 is enough. Even the lowly EOS RP has a SLOW 5 fps shutter speed. It’s raw files are about 24MB in size. So it’s write speed is 120MB/sec. With a fast UHS-II card it has infinity buffer. With the UHS-I card you recommend, it will overrun the buffer in just 2 seconds. Even a rank amateur who puts the camera in sports mode and takes pics of their kids soccer game will notice that difference.

I am having a headache... ;)

Wow, seems like a waste of money to buy the more expensive card.
