@Jazzi / @gsxstu / @pch1 - can I pick your brain please? I went into a store yesterday and tried a few - compared specs, tested the start up, auto focus spec etc... and pretty much decided on the Canon SX700. I've found it for a good price, and want to order it along with memory card and tripod etc... What memory card should I get? Any particular brand better than another? Also, I know I want minimum of class 10 for the HD video recording (it does 1080 @ 60fps), but I'm not sure about the UHS-I part... I'm a bit out of date! Some of the memory card websites offer them for this camera, but on the following website it appears they're not supported? I'm a bit confused... http://www.canon.co.uk/Support/Cons...muri=tcm:14-1084011&page=1&type=faq#bookmark0 On here - they show UHS-I cards... http://www.mymemory.co.uk/compatibl...s/Canon/Canon+Powershot+SX700+HS_Memory_Cards I'm surprised how cheap memory cards are now, it's been a few years since I last bought one and they've come right down! And then, tripods - any suggestions? One that is compact but quite flexible would be good... some have magnetic feet which seem a good idea? What do you think of this? http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/camera...0120!&ef_id=U4sRDAAAALzrwRF4:20140601113956:s Or would you go with a larger one (obviously I want something compact, but would rather something a bit bigger if it's going to be more usable?) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Joby-Gorill...1401622929&sr=8-3&keywords=gorillapod+compact Thanks for any help - I appreciate being able to come and here and pick all your knowledge, as it's not so straight forward to find specific info like this online. Thanks
I found out that UHS-1 is backwards compatible... so getting one isn't going to do any harm Here is the link for possible future reference: http://www.lexar.com/support/sd-uhs-i-faqs
I use a few different types of sd card but you are better off getting a class 10. I get them from my local computer shop they are cheaper than curry/pc world etc. As for tripods I have a little aluminium on that the legs come out rather like a car ariel, but wht ever you are prepared to payfor one I dont use mine all that often (if ever).
Cheers Stu... I understood the class bit from a few years ago luckily, I'd just never come across the uhs before, but understand it enough now
