I was thinking about getting two of these for HD video recording in the field. I have a Nikon D800.Any thoughts? Thanks,Frank-Miami, Fl.

I like this card your pictures will be rich with color. It's a excellent buy

Hi, not 100% sure if it'll work with your Nikon, it should though, I think only the older models are that ones with compatibility issues. Other than that, like I said in my review, they're robust and have plenty of size. Treat them carefully, don't drop them or expose them to heat or humidity and you should be alright.

I have a Nikon D7100 and have used the Lexar 64GB for both HD Video and High speed sequential pictures. The SDXC worked perfectly.

Yes!!! I have this problem as well! It's so upsetting because this is supposed to be a high quality camera. And I don't feel like spending $500 for a second camera. Have you found the solution for this? If you look at my YouTube channel: APurposeDeep, you can see that my first 2 videos were recorded with it and the quality is very poor :(

It performs well. I have an extra one , if you are interested. I actually have 2. Just purchased one with a hard drive so I can record.

I've shot with two of them now for about 40 jobs and its as good as I expect to get from any hd cam until its time to upgrade to 4k, love the post quality when shot using a flat curve. Perfect exposure and focus, 60p is awesome for sports action.

I have not had that problem, but I don't record for long periods of time (the videos get too boring for continuous recordings). I used it mostly outside and on my motorcycle. One of my trips was in Texas in July, 100+ everyday and no issues. I would only record for short periods of time, 5 to 10 minutes here and there when the scenery or roads were picture/video worthy. It takes great video and pictures, I'm very happy with the camera. It's even been through rain with no issues.

I had many people look at the one I had and not one person could get it to download to a disc. I needed it for weddings. I sold mine and bought a Nikon. To each his own, maybe I had a bad one that I was not aloud to return? When a camera shop and many other videographers could not make it work I sold it!Have a good time with itLaura

Yes, it gives you an extra frame per sec. I use the D800 and if I'm shooting in the 1.5 crop factor with the batt pak, I get 6 fps and at ff I get 5 fps; a far cry from the D3 or D4, but beats the hell out 4 fps.

I also have a D60 and plan to use the Nikkor 10-24 in my underwater shooting - what do y'all think?The Tokina 10-17 is out because of no AF compatability with the D60. divergal

Thanks. Seems like each of these makes has its quirks. I just gave away on old (4 years) Toshiba DVD recorder that did OK for its time, but the menus were very unintuitive, and the manual was in broken english. I guess I could always pick up a D-R410 at Fry's and if I don't like it, return for the Panny when it's in stock. Fry's also has a Sony RDR-GX360 for the same price as the Panasonic, and it seems to have the same ins/outs and upconversion, but I can only find one user review out there and it was bad. I hear that Sonys are picky about the DVD brand you use, plus they're the "source" for the industry restrictions on recording HD, so I don't want to support them. Thanks.

A word about the D800. I downloaded the 20 megabite sample jpeg image files nikon provides and tried my hand at working with them in photoshop and Topaz filters. I see some color banding in the shadows, hmm? Has any one else tried working them?The other thing is that I noticed is with 36mp images at 20MB's your post processing times to slow to a crawl.

I bought two also and the both work fine. The second one is with a friend so I haven't tested whether or not they operate on the same frequency. If that is the case, one photographer may trigger the camera of the other, etc. Make sure you have your camera set to deal with a remote triggering device and it should work fine. At least mine did with a Nikon D800.

Thanks for the info Clint and the response. I am off to Hawaii for 2 weeks of shooting and will probably order my D800 when I return. Would have liked to have had it before I leave but I'm gone on Wednesday.

I have a D80 and it is working great on that. I can't keep up with all the numbers, but the I think the D50 and D80 basically share the same DNA. The D80 has a few more bells and whistles ($$$) but that's about it.

I've had good use if it. In fact, I just finished using it just last week. Have you tried the steady cam option on your dslr? have you tried it on another vehicle? when my footage started getting shaky, my vehicle obviously had suspension issues.

@ ok4ablondeThanks a bunch, this helps alot, wanted to get some user's opinions about the sound quality in videos before trying it myself, had tried a Samsung SL720 which had 2 stereo mics, but I guess Samsung forgot to actually install the mics in the camera, really poor sound. thanks again.

I am a Nikon user. So I can only give my experiences as a Nikon full frame user. maybe this can help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fe1VkIzi6OI .

Same question here. I am tired of missing opportunities to have a picture of an event because the environment wasn't clean and dry. I would really like see a head to head of these two because they seem to have the right combination of durability and portability. Hard to tell if reviews on these products which slam the picture quality of both are from DSLR snobs who spend their vacation time taking pictures rather than having fun.
