I'm unhappy to report data loss on this card, a lot I might add. Never, have I seen this much data loss. Took me a minute to figure out it was the card as I started getting -50 error's, which when dropping to a CLI, I got invalid arguments when trying to copy from BASH. Then reviewing in post, corrupt RAWs, 2000+ of them. I'm fuming.
Not Pro-grade, at all.
Guess I need to go back to my Sony Toughs, never had a problem with em. Just 128GB came be limiting.
sorry to hear, it would be a killer in event photography
sony toughs or sandsk for me
I've NEVER had that many images lost in a single go, ever. And, I've only ever had two card faults, in my time of shooting digital (before this).
This sort of thing is why I can see dual card slots for professional use.
A single loss could cost you not just the fee for the event, but reputation, too.
that is true
but I only buy sandisk and sony tough
I shoot RP and M6II in tandem to back up shots
that said I'm also taking my 7d2 to the event I have this month - need to get paid
7d2 is an event camera
R7 would also be an event camera
We know that 32mp sensor likes good glass.
What lenses would you use on a R7 for events ?
I used some cheap off-brand cards and lost some shots in the old days before I shot events -- never lost shots with sandisk in over 1 million shots
the R7 lacks native RF-s glass I'd use for events - until then, I stay with my 7d mark 2 for the native "value" EF glass
first and foremost - my money lens: 70-200 F2.8L - it's heavy, but paid for all of my gear the last 17 years -- "fill the frame for event shooting earns the rewards" - no way around it for the value/reward
I also take my toki 10-17 FE, Canon 24 IS, Canon 35 IS
The 100L or m32 sits on the m6II and the RF 24-105 F4L sits on the RP
I also sometimes take my dual odins and three speedlights and 60 inch umbrella
backup group shots with the use of two cameras
I might take my 55-250 stm if the venue has enough light
I will roll it all in with one trip
For the RP and M6II for event shooting, back up shots with multiple cameras and change cards often so as not to lose too many eggs in one basket
