Is this a reliable card for shooting video on a Canon EOS 60D? Thanks in advance

Yes I recently received it and tried it on my Nikon Camera and worked wonderfully, Very satisfied.

I would strongly recommend class 10 SDHC cards for the EXILM. The higher speed card is going to allow the camera to empty from it's buffers to the card as fast as possible, providing the best results.

I have used standard cards without a problem, the camera will format the card. If you plan to capture video, be sure to get a card that is rated for that function. There is a SD card class rating you can read about, as I recall it is suggested using at least a 10 for video.

Hi Joseph,I use this card in a Canon D7 with no problems. I hope that's helpful.Nikki

Hi , I am using these cards to record Broadcast ready HD . It is also capable of recording 4K . It shouldn't be a problem and its definitely worth the money . I use it on the Sony A7s and one 64gb card gives me almost 3 hrs of footage and that too at a good quality codec .

I just spoke with a representative at Midland. I am using a 64GB card and have not had any problems yet. She told me that if I ever have a problem with the video freezing or being "choppy", try reducing down from a 64GB to a 32GB. This will obviously give you less record time but should solve any problems

I am a Canon shooter, but several of my friends use Nikons. We all feel the SanDisk compact flash cards are the most reliable. I have been using SanDisk cards for nearly ten years, and Those cards are still reliable. I can't say that about some other cheaper brands. Each of the others worked fine at first, but they eventually failed, some after as few as 6 months. For my shooting, a 16 GB compact flash card is almost always sufficient, but I do carry a 4GB and an 8GB card just in case.

This card is very useful for RAW or RAW+JPEG continuous shooting. It is overkill as far as speed for 1080P video or even continuous JPEG or any type of non continuous shooting. I would recommend the extreme model (45MB/s) for what you described.SanDisk Extreme 16GB SDHC UHS-1 Flash Memory Card Speed Up To 45MB/s, Frustration-Free Packaging- SDSDX-016G-AFFP (Label May Change) [Old Version]Use the money you save by dropping down to 45MB/s to get a 32GB card

I have had no problems using this card with any of my devises. I've used it with my camera, tablet, desktop and laptop. All seem to be compatible.

I have a class 2 2GB card and a class 4 8GB card. Both of mine worked just fine. The only gripe I have is when I shot at 12 megapixels it takes a bit to load on the card if you are trying to shot several shots in a row. I think maybe lowering the quality a bit or possibly a class 6 card might help but really don't know for certain.

I bought a very inexpensive 2GB SD card of the Crucial brand. These are almost always on sale somewhere on the Web. It's not rated at a super high speed (40x), but it seems to work fast enough in my A590IS. I contacted Canon Tech support re. what would be the optimum speed chip to get for the 590 and they didn't seem to know. Duuuh..., so I ended up with the Crucial. I don't use the highest res setting, as the lens isn't really up to it, so there's room for plenty O' pix on the 2 Gigger. .bh.

Its a Class 10 Card which means its fast. I can say it does write faster than other Class 10 cards I have. I have a 24 MP camera and even at its top quality setting I have never had to wait on it. It also works very well in the Video mode. And the price cant be beat.

Thanks Tech Guy. I see that it takes SDHC, and the video size limitation is fine by me. I'll have to see if I can get an a solid answer from Canon's tech support on if the 790 can take advantage of the faster in-camera processing Class 6 cards have (the upload to computer speed advantage doesn't mean much to me), and if it varies by brand. I also am wondering if I'll need to replace my current SD card reader if I do buy and use any of these higher capacity / faster SD cards.

yes it works fine with my Canon 60d----however, I wound up replacing mine with a much improved version (same manufacturer, different brand name, just as cheap), the Fotga DP500II----available through eBay ("fotocola")--the reason I upgraded is the EZFoto has too much play in the gear, which makes an irritating clicking noise when you are filming---also the Fotga has double gear wheels which is much better for switching lenses---and it has 2 hard stops---and the gear play is much reduced---all in all a far, far superior product for the same money---you may have to shop separately for the rails & plate---there are hundreds of them for cheap online Have one to sell?

I shoot with a Canon 5D Mark III. Recommend a Class 10 card for video recording.

Thanks. You are absolutely correct. I tried a high speed card (the exact one you recommed) and the video works great (no more dropped frames) even for very long videos. I used this camera to film a science project where students build and crushed balsa wood towers. It took as much as 10 minutes to pile on the weights before the towers broke, so the videos ended up being very long (at 420 fps, 10min of filming results in 140min of finished video). All this to capture about 1 second of slow motion crushing. Worth every penny.

I've been using two of these cards for about 8 months. They have worked flawlessly on my Canon 5d MkII. These cards are very fast, great for shooting raw burst mode and quick transfer rates (average high 70s Mbs on my equipment transferring raw files) onto your computer. Don't waste your money on higher priced cards, since the performance differences are negligible on the 5d Mk II and certainly don't warrant paying 2 or 3 times more for the higher priced manufactures.
