Hi everyone,
I hope your week is busy and productive. We're on Day 2 tomorrow of LONG interviews, principal camera is my F5, and I just discovered that my client is carrying around Sony 240GB XQD cards. I run the 120GB version cards thru an ExpressCard adaptor, and have had no issues. It's tempting to deploy the 240GB versions tomorrow, to cut down the number of times I have to bust out with DIT move. (I still don't enjoy swapping roles on site, and believe the money should be allocated to a dedicated data wrangling role... never mind).
What is your experience? Is this a safe prospect? I'm aware that it's possible to put too much on one card, either because it is not supported through camera specs, or simply because of the 'eggs in one basket' risk. I have also not tried taking my camera to firmware version 9.20 (still at 9.00) because I have one of 'those' serial numbers. It SHOULD be okay to do the update, but I keep re-reading Sony's guidance.... hmmm. I sure would hate to disable my camera just by going for that very last update.
Thoughts?
