GH4 gh4 accessories?

[Lindquist]

So before i sell my gh2 I was wondering should I keep the 14-140mm lens i got with it? Or sell it and try to get the better lowlight 12-35? and also the 64gb Sandisc extreme plus 85mbs/ and 16gb sandisc extreme pro 95mbs? I would Only want to keep these if I can record 4k on them, they are both U1 cards.

Thanks for info.

The 12-35mm is definitely a faster lens and better quality all around, but if you're happy with the 14-140mm (or you need the reach of that lens), there's no reason not to continue using it. Many class 10 cards will work at least up to the GH4's 100mbps recording modes, but the best thing to do is test your cards to see what their minimum write speeds are. Here's a post on some SD card speed tests I did with instructions on how to test your own cards.

Bottom line: U3 cards guarantee a minimum write speed of 30MB/s, which is fast enough for any of the GH4's recording modes. U1/Class 10 cards must only maintain a minimum write speed of 10MB/s, though some cards can write faster than this, so the best thing to do is test your particular cards if you don't want to pick up some U3 cards.
