Memory Cards for cameras
General Topic
As I stated in a previous thread, I am "gearing up" to start videoing more of my future hunting adventures. Today, I observed that Cabelas is selling 64 GByte Micro-Memory cards for $69.99, yet the normal 32 GByte memory cards are $79.99...Cabelas doesn't even sell a 64 GByte Memory card that isn't a micro card.
Since the Cabelas rep assured me that these Micro Memory cards are as dependable as the normal sized cards (they actually fit into a larger housing when used in equipment that takes the normal sized memory cards) and they are returnable in the event that they do not work, I bought two of the 64 GByte cards for my Sony Handycam (HDR-CX210).
Can anyone give me a ballpark idea of how long I should be able to film before I fill a 64 GByte memory card? I don't expect anyone to know to the nearest nanosecond....but can I film for 30 minutes....3 hours.....8 hours?
I'm no expert, but on the highest quality from I can tell you might get up to 6 hours of recording on a 64gb card on that camera. Take this with a grain of salt though.
Length of video time depends on the resolution you are filming at. The higher the res, the less time you get. As far as I know, your camera is adjustable as to the resolution. I would think that the manual should give you a timeframe....

5 hours to 25 hours just depending on quality of video according to Sony micro card.
10-4
Looks like I need to find my manual for the camera...I will probably opt for the default setting on resolution...at least until I become more familiar with my camera and associated equipment.
Manual should say approximate time at each setting.
If you cant find yours you can proably download it from mfr's site.
Jake. Try going to newegg.com. You can get 128gig for the same price as the 64 gig price you mentioned
Lonnie,
I wish that I had seen this sooner!!
With two 64GB cards you are good to go. If you download your videos to your computer every few weeks I doubt you even come close to running out of room. Realistically speaking I bet it is tough to lay down an hour of footage per day.
