Hi everyone, as I asked in the subject...

Which SD cards have you tried? Would 256 GB be more than plenty if I film strictly in LOG for highest quality? Or is even 128 GB enough for a few hours of video?

Thanks,
Roman

256gb will give about 4 hrs i was told, that was at 4k/120 - D-log 10bit, if shot in .h265 this should save on file size but it will run hotter.

Hi everyone, thanks a ton for your responses!

I did my first tests and realize that the footage is recorded with about 80 Mbps whether D LOG or Normal color. So unlike the iPhone's Pro Res, this is not taking that much memory. 256 GB seems quite sufficient. Now on to finding time to learn how to get the best quality footage and how to quickly color grade, although it seems to me that when outdoors and good white balance, the color straight out of the camera is quite good, bit harsh, but good.

Great day everyone!

Thanks! This is an interesting point. Am I correct that H265 should be used for the maximum possible quality out of the camera?

If H264's only disadvantage was the file size and its advantage keeping the camera cool, then H264 might be the preferred encoding.
