Are the 800x fast enough for capturing video with a 5D Mark III?

The 800x can handle streaming video without a problem. You go any slower you can have some problems.

I think its the fastest CF card you can get, its 800 Mbs per second. whereas Sandisks are only a fraction of this speed

I have this card, however, I do not have a Canon 5D Mark lll. All I can say is this card works fine and is fast in my Sony.

I have not even try on video taking at all , however it gone dead on me after a few sessions of photography.

i'd suggest searching you tube/vimeo for the handful of clips f/tm700 that were shot in 1080p/24 cinema mode and the HA 1080i mode...judge for yourself if the quality is good enough...if you have at least a dual-core computer 2.0-3.0 ghz you should be ok power wise.

I doubt it. Only because it is only designed to control shutter. On the 5D Mark III video isn't controlled by the shutter button.

It works great with Canon 5d MKIII as that is the camera and cf card that I use. I have never been able to overun the buffer using this card and shooting at the maximum frames per second. I also have a friend that has a 5dMKIII and the same card and is just as satisfied as I am with this setup.

You can upgrade the 50D to Magic Lantern Firmware and it can record Video at 24 and 30 FPS, full HD ! No audio though. You may use an external audio recorder and synch it with Video. "DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK" is the advise by ML, but it is such an easy upgrade and supported by the community well. Using it for 1 month and absolutely no issues. Behaves like a normal camera for stills, though ML provides so many extras you never knew this camera was capable of !

I've tried in 5D2, works fine. But the ultra fast SD card I used was slow, so I replaced it with a extreme fast one with 45MB/s, that is much better now.

I use this card on a 7D with good results. Better to have more speed and capacity because you never know when you will need it. The 7D does great video. You will eventually use it v

I've never tried both at the same time, but as fast as it is sequentially won't take long. My husband shoots with a D3 Nikon and it only takes a couple of minutes at most to upload 900 pictures. I really like using it as the speed is triple the others I have used.

I think it's at least 500 - 800, depending on your settings. If you're worried about the capacity why not just get a 4Gb card for the camera? They're going for under $10... I'm still amazed at the quality of the pictures... Video quality is also good. making stills from the video is a pain but much better than I dared hope for...

It totally depends on the most used features of the 5D Mark III that you used. The AF is much more basic on the 6D. The build isn't as solid feeling, the sensor is a hairs smaller, and the buffer is smaller. Other than that, the sensitivity of the sensor and the processor speed great. Are you doing a lot of HDR raw? 6D doesn't do HDR Raw. Are you monitoring any filming of your kid wi headphones? The 6D doesn't have an additional monitoring jack. I got a 6D and haven't looked back and would have not qualms about shooing a client with it. I hope this helps. If needed, go to a local camera store and get your hands on one for the feel. Good Luck. It totally depends on the most used features of the 5D Mark III that you used. The AF is much more basic on the 6D.

This is both the correct type of card (compact flash) and the correct write speed (~90Mb/s) for all potential photographic and videographic applications of the Canon 5D Mark III. It is even possible to record RAW video files with this camera and Magic Lantern firmware, using a card of this speed.

A Sandisk Ultra (15MB/s) writes at about 9-10 so anything faster would be wasted, generally. I tested shooting RAW+JPEG continuous (11-13MB per shot, max 0.9 fps) and got a small delay of 21 instead of 28 shots in 30 sec. Perhaps an Extreme III 20MB/s card would help, if the camera can in fact write any faster. The manual says class 4 for video but my 1st gen EyeFi (2.3MB/s write) keeps up fine. This is just not a camera that needs a fast card. FWIW, for burst shooting, try "low light" mode. min iso 320 and 1/4 res, but does 3 fps jpeg

I also have a 7d and it works just fine. The speed is great and it holds a fair amount of photos if you shoot in RAW.

I've rarely used the camera for video but, according to the owner's manual, you can shoot in 30 or 60p frames per second, with various picture size (bit rate) choices. There is a "high speed video" choice which fixes the scene mode to QVGA (640x480 pixels/approx. 4 Mbps) in the Motion JPEG format. There is also a "variable bit rate" which is changed automatically depending on the subject to record (the recording time is shortened when a subject with fast movement is recorded). I could send you snapshots of sections of the manual if I had your email address.

My Lexar 133x and 400x were not sufficient to capture images quickly in my new Nikon D800. So I bought the Lexar Professional 1000x 32GB to achieve faster deposits and succeeded fully. But my previous card reader no longer work for this card so I must buy a card reader also more quickly as a logical consequence of this.

That is the problem...you can't do rapid frames.The camera looks great, feels great to hold, but if you need something to capture a fast paced activity, this isn't the one for you.I like it and recommend it for a very casual user, however will be upgrading to a more advanced piece of equipment as soon as my budget allows.

Hi, that is interesting and is misleading for sports or nature photographers like myself. I did buy it for the noted mb speed on the label as I need speed on my shoots, and it bothers me that elsewhere it is stated as being slower than what I am being lead to believe, and need. I don't think though that that would restrict video taping as I also use as spares ScanDisk 45MBs cards which were the fastest at one time, but they take video with no issues. One must also take in the frames per second and pixel size of the movie. High speed cards can handle hi def to low definition. The first thing I did was change the movie mode to one of the lowest standard on all cameras that can take videos, and it still didn't work.i also have Lexar cards. They have issues when taking too many pictures such as action shots in sports, but are fine for video and general picture taking. I tested it when I got home and it had no issues videoing, along with the older 45mbs cards and still couldn't figure out why the PNY wouldn't take videos. Thank you. Rob
