With 5 axis stabilization , handheld can be lower than 1/2 secs ?

Unfortunately for legacy lens with no electronics, it is reported that only 3 axis will work sweat.gif

Lets see if Sony can do anything about it with firmware updates.

JPG only, I'm shooting in Manual. Anyway, the file size won't be of so huge different that the write time is almost 3 times different right? Not to say that I actually taken less shot when tested with the given card. Hand not accurate enough to stop holding on to the shutter after the same number of shot. Blame that 11fps tongue.gif
Yes I know that for low end card only read speed is advertised but they must also fulfil at least the rated class (Class 10 for ex.) right?

I don't have tools to measure their actual write speed but seriously the cheap Evo simply outperform the free card, significantly!

Even my class 4 micro sd feels faster than the Sony card doh.gif What's wrong? Time to dump the free card. biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

JPG file size can make a big difference. Some camera shoots only 2mb to 5mb jpg while some can produce 20mb jpgs.

Same Sony A6000 la... Shooting same subject similar lighting similar exposure settings.

Deviation also at most 1~2MB right?
Actually I don't use burst much. Getting faster card mainly for the single shot buffer clearing time.

Sony disallow us to change setting or go into playback while the card is still writing (clearing buffer).

With the free card, sometimes I have to wait for 1~2 second before I can get into playback. The other day I just put in the Class 4 4GB microsd + adaptor and I immediately noticed the difference. After that I bought the Samsung and yes it's very similar. That means it's just the Sony is doing weird. One photo at max 7MB yet it can't get it cleared as soon as the picture is taken? I doubt it even fulfil the Class 10 rating. doh.gif

No, I mean the output jpg of both camera. The Sony and the Samsung.

Done a rough test (count by heart test biggrin.gif ) on my Sony free 16GB Class 10 UHS-1 40MB/s card and my new Samsung Evo MicroSD 16GB Class 10 UHS-1 48MB/s card.
Take note... Count by heart...

On Samsung, 24 shots burst took ~9 seconds to clear (till red light off)
On Sony, 22 shots burst took ~30 seconds to clear (till red light off)

How can it be such a huge difference on similarly rated card? doh.gif doh.gif

BTW, apparently MB/s and mbps is totally different. Megabytes and megabits. I don't even wanna go there but IINM 30MB/s = 240mbps. Funny right?

But yeah, like I said, just get from reputable brands (that make their own chips especially) that actually give you write and read speed ratings and you'l be fine lol. Reviews help too, and penny pinching usually doesn't pay much when it comes to getting decent cards.

And yeah, it's a free card. And even if Sony is a good brand name in general, they're not really well known for good SD cards. Even their 90mb/s card aren't as fast as my similarly specced Toshie.

Ordered 3 Exceria cards from IPMart, been days and haven't been shipped yet sad.gif

By the way, big B = Byte, small b = bit.

I currently have a 8GB SanDisk Extreme Pro with 95MB read and 90MB write.

Tested this with my A7M2. Shoot drive on Continuous High, shutter speed 1/250. One test with RAW, another with Extra Fine JPG.
  1. Formatted the card, took 27 RAW shots before it starts to slow down. Took approx 13.5 sec before the red led is cleared. 1 RAW is approx 23.5 to 23.8mb.
  2. Formatted the card, took 55 EXTRA FINE JPG shots before it starts to slow down. Took approx 26.3 sec before the red led is cleared. 1 EXTRA FINE JPG is approx 15.4mb to 15.5mb.
Pretty safe to assume the card reader in A7M2 can only write around 40MB/s. So it is pointless to get cards rated higher than that.

what reason you pick 40mm and not 35mm version? also why you did not pick the samyang 35mm?  hmm.gif ...

The Samyang 35 is big and 35 is not something I've never tried before. So instead of getting 35 again, I got the 40 to try tongue.gif

Nice photos, dislike the #4 photo though. If you could control that wide angle distortion better the photo would've been nicer icon_rolleyes.gif

1/320 shutter speed, ISO3200, took 27 RAW shots before it started to slow down. 14 seconds to clear buffer.

Toshiba Exceria Type 2 64gb rated 95r 60w (exFAT)
1/320 shutter speed, ISO3200, took 24 RAW shots before it started to slow down. 17 seconds to clear buffer.

SanDisk Extreme Pro 8gb rated 95r 90w (FAT32)
1/250 shutter speed, ISO1600, took 27 RAW shots before it started to slow down. 13.5 seconds to clear buffer.

If you want normal plastic one just use Canon 550D's. Can fit albeit not perfectly but at least no need cut.
