I just ordered my first trail cameras. I got the stealth cam G30's because i found a pretty good deal on them.I am wondering what kind of SD card you all prefer in your cameras. I have read that some people are against high-speed cards. Thank you for any input.
If your going to use it for video you better stock up on 16-32GB Class 10 cards because they use a lot of card space. A 15 second on HD uses around 50MB's. If you're just going for photos I use Sandisk or Kingston Class 4's. I'm sure there are other good brands also. I'd stay away from Ebay unless the seller has good feedback because you might end up with fakes. I get most of mine at Amazon.
I use everything from 2gb to 32gb and some 8gb class 10's. I find where I collect them once a week that generally a 4gb class 4 is absolutely fine and even get by fine for two weeks on those. I hardly ever use video mode either, generally 1 photo on 20-30 sec delay. On the busiest cameras I get about 1000-1400 pics a week. I have all sorts of brands of cards but mostly sandisk and I buy them on Amazon also...I love Amazon.
Class 4's are fine for pictures only, but if you want to use the video function you might as well get class 10. I run mostly 8gb cards, but still have some 4gb's that I put in the cameras that get less action. I always have mine set on 3 shot burst with a 30-60 second delay.
I use San Disk in all my camera's with no issues. I sue 4 & 8gb cards. The Wal-Mart here don't have anything smaller than 8gb cards anymore.
I use 4gb in all my cameras checking them ever 2 weeks on 3 photo burst with 5 sec delay average bout 900 ever card pull they seem to work just fine. Make sure to label and log so u don't end up putting a full card back into the camera. Happened to me twice this year. Sent from a note in a bottle.
Sandisc 8g and two cards for each camera. I never mix mine even between the same brand cameras. Blessings.........Pastorjim
I think it has something to do with the frame rate of the video. The higher the class, the faster it will write to the card. Maybe someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
I use two of the same 6gb sandisk sd cards. The faster cards are too much for most cameras to handle and I feel like they have more issues with locking and formatting then the regular sized ones.
Yep, that's the general idea. Higher class cards will write/read more date in a given period of time. If you're writing a lot of data to the card (in the case of video or multiple shot bursts), a higher speed is beneficial.
I use 2G to 8G Class 4 SanDisk, PNY, Sony, and Toshiba cards. Can't really tell the difference, they all work fine except the Moultrie M-100 camera sometimes gets finicky.
Ended up with an 8gb & a 16gb Sandisk class 4. Do you all typically get just the sd card or do you all get the micro sd with the sd adapter?
