HI guys, bit of a noob at the whole video thing, but am going on holiday later this year to Disney Florida, and am wanting to shoot plenty of video clips as well as the usual stills.
Still unsure what camera I will take I have the Panasonic G9 and EM1 MK II from Micro four thirds, or my Fuji X-T3 or X-H1, but in any case, I'll be shooting 4k 25 (maybe some 4k 50 on faster action etc). but am now looking as to what size cards I'll need, how fast and how much footage I'd get on them.
My G9 (i think) limits VBR to 100-150mb/s, the EM1 MK II about 100 mb/s, the X-H1 a max of 200mb/s and the X-T3 upto 400mb/s (but most likely for home video clips on the Fuji's, I probably won't set it any higher than 100-150mb/s). Is there a calculator or the like somewhere that would tell me for the various bit rates how much storage per minute (or hour) it would likely eat up on the card, and what sort of speeds I should be looking at?
I know a lot will say get the fastest card possible, but if I can get away with a slower card -for instance a Sandisk 95 Extreme Pro 128gb, then the price difference between that (currently £30 on Amazon) vs the UHS-II 300mb/sec version (£230.00 on Amazon today) is absolutely huge. The Sandisk 95's are UHS-1 but V10 and U3 rated, (so from what I've read they should handle 4k no problem) ?
Thanks for any help.
