How To: Choose the Best Memory Card for your Camera

How To: Choose the Best Memory Card for your Camera

For most travellers, bringing a good camera to document your travels is an important aspect when it comes to packing. But what most people don’t realize is how important memory cards are to documenting your travel experiences (especially if you plan on shooting video). Mike Corey from Kick the Grind TV shares his tips with us on how speed plays a factor, and what to look for when you purchase your next memory card:

Imagine this: You’re embarking on your dream trip; filming the sites, the colours and the food, when suddenly something pops up on your LCD screen saying ‘Movie recording has been stopped automatically‘. You’re left thinking something is wrong with your camera, but in actuality it’s your memory card. Mike explains how to avoid this problem in his video below:

The most common thing to understand with all memory cards is the class system. When shopping for SD cards you’ll notice a number written on it. This lets you know how many megabytes per second the card can transfer. Generally for most cameras, you want to make you have at least a class ‘6’ if you plan on shooting video. Here are some of Mike’s recommendations based on the type of camera you have:

tips for choosing the right memory card

 

Friendly tip: If you plan on shooting lots of photos or videos, chances are you’re going to go through a lot of memory cards during your trip. Invest in something like a case to store your cards in to keep them all in one place, while also protecting them from elements like water.
