![]() ![]() It is therefore a 2 failed adapters over 5~6 years vs 0 issues on regular SD cards over 16 years. Over my 16 years on digital camera (all use SD cards), started with the crazy expensive 8Mb cards upto 64Gb cards recently, none of them failed. I am currently using a 32 Gb Toshiba micro SD card on SanDisk adapter, no problem yet but a couple of days ago, not sure it was the card (rare chance), or the adapter, I had a trusted USB OTG SD card reader dead on transferring image to my computer. The TDK had collapsed the card making me lost half day's shots. The TDK and 1 of the SanDisk failed so far. Except I paid for the TDK, others came with the micro SD cards free. I have 5 adapters, 1 from TDK, 1 from Samsung, 1 from Toshiba and 2 from SanDisk over last 5~6 years. ![]() I typically do 2,000 - 5,000 photographs per month. I mean using hard: I have shot up to >6,000 images in a single day on more than one occasion. And 4K video and 10fps burst with my Panasonic FZ1000 for three years before that. And note that for the past 2+ years I have been doing 4K video and 24FPS burst mode (initially JPG, lately RAW) on my Sony RX10 IV. I have been using Micro SD cards with adapters for years without any issues whatsoever. Would be nice if they could provide statistical evidence showing that and also what the failure modes are and how that compares to regular SD cards. I see a lot of people expressing an opinion that adapters are bad. The only thing I would advise then at that point (if they choose to use microSD) is to carry a few extra adapters and cards. The price difference between microSD and regular SD is minimal so the OP might as well buy regular SD's unless he has a boat load of micro SD cards. Enough for me not to use them unless absolutely necessary. Yes agreed, although I have had Samsung and Sandisk adapters (2 so far) fail. If possible, I select an adapter carefully. Because of the failure of an adapter it caused me half day's shooting. I have tried a few adapters from various brands from Sandisk, TDK, Samsung, Toshiba and some work some might fail occasionally. I found the adapter is one the most important factor. Those leftovers are from Samsung, Toshiba, Scandisk. I have some left over of micro SD cards everytime I upgraded my phone (phone has to upgrade much more frequent than my camera).Īlthough the SD cards nowadays are cheap, no point to waste those 32Gb Class 10 micro cards which were perfectly usable on older models (non 4K, no high fps bursting etc). Not fun if it's in the camera and it fails. I've had adapters fail a few times (both in the camera, and when plugged into the computer). Is there any difference? Any experience if the Adapter causes less Read/Write speeds or not?
