Will this Sandisk Extreme Pro work?
When I first got my GH5 a few years ago I simply used SD cards I already have - a typical Sandisk Extreme SD card. Only to find out that it will choke up when recording long 100 Mbps clip, rendering it useless to my work. So I looked for something better...
Later switched to this Lexar 1667x (UHS-II) which works well ever since. Since I didn't need any higher capacity at that time so I din't bother buying anything bigger than that.
Fast forward to today - now I'd like to expand its capacity to at least 128GB, only to find out that today's SD card price had been more than DOUBLED since last purchase. Now the price for a 128GB (UHS-II) card is unfortunately quite beyond my budget limit.
However since I'm only using 4K 8bit/10bit recording mode most of the time hence no more than 150Mbps needed. Wondering if Sandisk Extreme Pro, like the one in the above picture, would still get the job done? Yes it's only UHS-I, and rated at just V30. On the specsheet it seems not too different than the first (non-pro) Sandisk I had. But since the price is very tempting to me, should I pull the trigger?
