32 GB of space for video, July 26, 2008

By	Agnius Griskevicius "It is not soft, it is hyperfocal"

Length:: 2:00 Mins

My take - it is all good so far!
Details: card is made in Japan, it is class 4 (which translates into 4 megabytes per second transfer rate), works well with Canon VIXIA HF100. For now, it is the most spacious card I could find, and it is reasonably priced per megabyte. Although, I am sure, I will be laughing at myself spending that kind of money on this capacity couple years down the row... Price to pay for progress of technology - complimentary obsolescence. I hope it is fast enough to keep up with the future models of camcorders and higher recording bandwith. Right now Canon VIXIA HF100 and its cousin HF10 max out at 17 MB/s, and that is before AVCHD compression kicks in. Next generation of camcorders will top out at 24 MB/s, - HF11 is already announced in Japan. So hoping that Class 4 will be good enough for next wave, although I might skip generation or two till manufacturers make more significant improvements that would affect my workflow. Now I need to update my computer (MacBook) to speed up conversions of AVCHD files... Demanding peripherals will drive computer hardware sales and vice versa. Never ending cycle! So time to start gathering my pennies and venture over to Apple Store.

Actually, the data rates from the camcorder - eg. 17 Mbps is after the AVCHD compression, so it really is working at that rate on the HF10/100. But that's still only a bit over 2MB per second. The 24Mbps is 3 MBps, which this should handle.
