Question

Which SD card is right?

Jun 2, 2011 1:25AM PDT

I just bought the new Sony HX9V and am psyched about it, but will admit that I really don't know much about memory cards. There's standard, ultra, extreme, etc. And lots of different speeds and classes. The Specs for the camera say to get Class 4 or higher. Will any old Class 4 card work without detracting from the quality of the 1080/60p video the camera can take.

A class 4 card will work OK for still pictures but it is not fast enough for HD video.
The class 4 card will drop frames when recording which will make the video look jumpy when you play it back.

I use the San Disk Ultra for HD video.

Higher class memory cards are best for example a memory card of 8gb -class 6 is better then 16bb -class2.
there are class 2, class 4, class 6 are available in market it depends on your choice. Higher class gives you high performance.
