Ladybird Question...Nikon D3200 and video recording

[Ray Singh]

All,

I have a Nikon D3200 and have bought a 32GB card. Its a SanDisk 32GB ultra 40MB/S card.

I have tried recording basic video - only 13 seconds and it doesnt like it..... Should i be able to view the video via the camera?

Any ideas why it is so slow?

Thanks

Sounds like you need a faster memory card. - Video needs a constant supply of data to be written to the memory card. Cheaper / slower SD cards just aren't designed for fast, sustained data transfer like this.

Link above recommends class 6 or faster. I'd go for the fastest you can go for (within reason) - added bonus, as faster cards will copy off to computer quicker too.

This are great value right now: http://www.mymemory.co.uk/SDXC/SanDisk/SanDisk-64G...

I bought them when they were £100 a go!

Initial googling revealed it to be a Class 10, so I wondered if it's a genuine Sandisk card.

How can i check if it is a genuine SanDisk card?

Not sure of the details but it will be on the internet somewhere, have a google. Where did you buy it from?

I have purchased a 64GB SanDisk Ultra SDXC UHS-1 Class 10 speed up to 80MB/s.

I will give it a try.

From a reputable retailer I hope

Also consider Lexar Pro; they've served me well for 11 years.

I bought it from Costco - £19.99.

I have checked the other cards, they all seem real - althought they come up with a odd logo in Windows explorer.
I have re-formatted all cards and they seem to be running better.

When i bought my first didital camera, a 8GB card was £20. Now a 64GB card is the same money.....

Luxury! I remember when a 1Gb 40x card was £100!

keep an eye on the amazon prices, they fluctuate but you can pick them up dirt cheap when they're low.

Other than that yea, sounds like a duff card, I have an ultra card which can record video in my 60D, though it's only used as a spare now as I've bought loads of cheap extreme cards (I like to have lots)

If anyone's interested, I have an unwanted competition winning prize - Kingston 64GB SDXC 4K2K.
