Sony a55 which sd card

Navigate Review Jump to review page Sony A55V Performance Timing and Performance A mixed bag when it comes to performance, ranging from below average to exceptionally fast. This mode usually shows no speed increase with our static subject; we have no way to measure performance with moving subjects. For most cameras, shutter lag is less in manual focus than autofocus, but usually not as fast as when the camera is "pre-focused.

Time per shot, averaged over buffer depth of 32 shots, then slows to an average of 0. Buy the Sony A Panasonic G95 Review.

On the library screen, tap the menu items in the following order. Push the microSD card into the microSD card slot. The microSD card will pop out. Remove the microSD card. Then, close the microSD card slot cover. Note On the player, you cannot exchange data between the player memory and a microSD card. If the player does not recognize the microSD card, remove and reinsert the microSD card into the player. Do not insert any object other than a microSD card into the microSD card slot.

If the inserted microSD card contains a large amount of data, it may take about 10 minutes or longer for the player to update the database. When you remove the microSD card, the following information will be deleted. The content that is currently being played. You'd need to do direct writes to the card at optimum block sizes, bypassing the file system it's formatted with in order to get the advertised speeds with most cards.

I'd take those tests with a "grain of salt". With an average file size of That's about right for that class of card in real world conditions. Just google for reviews of the A, and you'll find a test with both card types used. Again, I'd take their performance testing with a grain of salt until someone tests the new Sony A55 with faster cards. Note the Sandra c Write timing for 64MB files. You've got file system overhead involved updating the FAT with each write, etc. That's what you can expect in real world conditions.

Now, many speed tests can bypass the file system, where you'll get better results. But, when you are writing to a file system that has an allocation table you need to update for each block written, your transfer times are going to be much slower than direct writes to a card.

I feel like the enthusiasm of your posts is overstating the situation All other readers put the HG in the same range as the class 10 Extreme cards. I think you and I might have different meanings for "much faster. So if it takes 30s made up number! That's an appreciable but not an outstanding difference.

However, until real-world testing in those cameras are done to see what the buffer flush difference is with the two cards, then my conclusion is to consider the cards roughly equivalent with some probable performance edge to the HG.

However, MemoryStick doesn't have nearly the usefulness of SD unless your world is all Sony, and at the moment, my world is all everything else. Both are rated for the same speed. Most card readers don't fully support Pro HG Duo. Pro HG Duo uses a newer transfer protocol 8 bit parallel transfers. But, the cards will still work in devices cameras, card readers, etc. You'll see the same type of thing with some other memory card types for example, a CompactFlash card support UDMA Mode 5 and 6 transfers will still work in devices without that support, but you'll get much slower transfer speeds.

I haven't had the opportunity to use the A55 yet. That's a big difference if you're trying to shoot action and want to shoot raw which is the way I prefer to shoot. That means you'll be able to take a lot more photos in the same period of time with the HG Pro Duo media. To put things into perspective taking full buffer frame rates into consideration, you can capture approximately 87 raw images in 30 seconds with the faster Pro HG Duo Card in a Sony A Again, I haven't used the A55 yet, and haven't seen any tests of performance using both card types.

But, I'd be very surprised if you don't see the same type of thing with it more photos in a row before a slowdown, faster full buffer frame rate, faster buffer flush times , as you do with other Sony models that support both media types. The thread link is below. If we all chime in with our results, we can build our own database of card performance.

I'm not sure yet. Is it worth the hefty price tag? We take a look at the Cine, the high-end model in this series. The Nikon Z9 is the company's first camera to feature a stacked CMOS sensor, which brings a raft of new features, including blazing speed and autofocus performance to the Z lineup.

The Sony a7 IV is the fourth generation of the company's core a7 full-frame mirrorless camera model, and it's the most advanced yet.

Nik Silver Efex Pro 3, one of the standout components of Nik Collection 4, is a black-and-white conversion tool that goes far further than the grayscale or black-and-white tools built into all-in-one photo apps. For some users, this app alone might be worth the cost of the whole collection — find out for yourself in our review.
