32GB SDHC cards that work? – SanDisk Extreme 30MB/s Edition?

[Ron Pestes]

Hmm, I have been using a 32 gig Transend card for several months with no problem. I have run it for 2 hr. straight through and cranked to 46 fps with no problem. Over 46 and it spat out an error.

wow, bizarre, I had bought the 32gb transcends, class 10, and they would not work beyond 27 or 13 minutes at a go.

What class disks, what model etc?

I’d like to point out that none of our Sony SxS cards have had such errors. In my case, that is worth the price. 🙂

I am using class 6. It has a red stripe across it. I have heard that some work fine and others don’t. I am also still using the original firmware on my EX-3. I have read that upgrading the firmware makes more cards work but I have not done that yet.

First, is your firmware updated? Are you using the EX-1 or EX-1r?

I had issues with the Transcends before updating my firmware. Non after.

I also have a 32G SxS. It’ proven it’s worth, even after having a battery go dead during a long 1 1/2 recording session. No loss of data.

Hi Brent,
Tx for the response, I updated the firmware a couple of years ago, am not sure if it is 1.1 or 1.2, and do not know how to check… do you?

I have the EX-1

My Transcend 8gb have been flawless, I NEVER use my two 8gb sxs sticks anymore, could not bother really… and would not like to give Sony an insane amount of money for a memory stick.

Tx again,
Mark.

Tx Ron,
I have returned mine, they did not have a red stripe across them… blue sticks, with blue sticker with rainbow and green stripe where it says LOCK… same as my 8gb Transcends which work fine!

mate, Id like to point out that i was not asking about sxs and how reliable people find them. I want to buy 32 gb SD cards that work as reliably as the 8gb SD cards I have already.

Hi guys,
My camera has firmware version 1.14_0543

So AFAIK should be fine with 32gb cards, no?

Ron, what firmware are you using?
