Is that 72mins at the highest quality? Could I record 60 mins simultaneously to a 16gb card at highest quality and to tape for a back up? Thats basically what I'm after. Very rarely wedding speeches go over an hour and cause me problems, but if I stuck a 32gb card in for the speeches and a 60 min tape, I'll be covering my back in case the 32gb has issues as well as ensuring that as long as the card works and things run over, I wont have to stop recording. Ooh I like this.. |

I mostly do weddings, and many of them are Catholic. Ceremonies are easily 1 hour to an hour and a half, but after that I don't need to run the camera for more then 20 min at a time (speeches, cake cutting, dances, ect) So I have a few 32gig cards, but mostly 16s. I use Ridata brand (233X), and I have been very happy with them. And by the way, the Kingston cards I got (166x) died within the first or second use.

We have three MRC-1s and, on the advice of Sony dealer, use 16Gb Pretec 233x metal clad CF cards. No problems.

Re: Best compact flash cards for Sony Z5 with MRC1K unit
As usual, I went with a Lexar 32gb 300x. It's been great for me. Many people have no problem with 133x.
I want 300x on my cards. |

Re: Best compact flash cards for Sony Z5 with MRC1K unit
My Sandisks are, I think, the equivalent of 200x and I've never had a problem with them. The Kingstons I've had -- 6 out of 7 of which failed -- are 133x. But I have a 133x Transcend which has been flawless.
FWIW.

Re: Best compact flash cards for Sony Z5 with MRC1K unit
Interesting about issues with the Kingston 133x. I assume you are talking about the the green Elite Pro cards ? I have capturing to my Canon 5D for 2 years with them without a hitch. I just bought 5 more from someone on this site to use in a used MrC1k I bought. Last night I captured an hour long show through my cable box and my VX2000 (obviously in DV) and the unit captured the entire run without a hitch. After the capture, I immediate pulled the card, and it was certainly warm, but I had not problem transferring.

Re: Best compact flash cards for Sony Z5 with MRC1K unit
okay, i just re-read this thread and still am unclear as to whether you can use cf larger than 32gb?
and i know all the relevant arguments about using 16gb (which i do anyway), but i'm still curious..... anyone any experience with 64gb cards?

Re: Best compact flash cards for Sony Z5 with MRC1K unit
ok, i'll put my latest observation in:
bought one of these: Faster than SANDISK 32GB Extreme Compact Flash Memory Card 533X - Lifetime Warranty so far so good - filled it a couple of times... @$85aus - bargain!
