In the manual for my camera, canon seems to recommend a particular SD
card so that it's fast enough to store high quality movies without
running into speed limitations.
It says to use a high speed card, SDC-512MSH recommended.
Well, I have no idea what they think is high speed. Is 45x high speed ?
66x? 150x ? I haven't been able to find any information on what speed
that recommended card is. The only useful sites on google seem to be in
Japanese.
Does anyone know what speed card is good enough for the camera - such
that any higher speed is wasted ?
For instance, if a 66x speed SD card is good enough for the camera to
record at maximum resolution, maximum frames per second movies without
limitation, and if you're not going to get any more frames per second in
continuous shooting still mode, then there's no point getting a 150x
speed SD card, correct ?
How about the speed of reading from the SD card, across USB to the PC ?
Will a faster SD card speed up the process ? At what speed is a
faster SD card a waste ?
What is the maximum speed that this camera can actually read and write
to an SD card ? It's not in the camera specifications.
Thanks for any help...
