The "MicroP2" cards are new, and seem to have the profile of an SD card, but with high speed performance: Quote:

AVC-Ultra mentioned, but still, no hard date for full implementation.
IMHO, it's still vaporware. |

Anyway, I really do hope that these cards wont cost as much as the big P2 cards do. And I really don't like the fact that Panasonic has limited the card adaptor to 50Mbs when using 3rd party cards. But, if that's the way they want to play it... I was just wondering why aren't we using PCMCIA to SD card adaptors with these cameras? I've never tried it my self. But I just figured that they don't work. Right? |

As we know it was 4 raided SD cards that sucked not modern ones that don't suck. Today the stuff after Class 10 (when it comes out) will be able to support up to DVCPro HD 1080p or AVC Intra 100. The reason it is taking Panasonic so long to make this stuff is because they obviously don't want to give up their monopoly on P2 cards. If anyone else has an idea then fill me in.

P2 cards are more than just fast media. P2 cards do parity checking, error Correction or Concealment. And they have a Raid controller. This means, in short, that P2 cards should be the most reliable flash memory cards on the market. P2 cards are kind of like wearing a belt & suspenders to make sure your pants don't fall down. While I can believe that is a reason for the massive price difference, I feel that you can have much cheaper SDHC, CF or SSD cards / drives that are very reliable & will probably do you just fine. Not as secure as belt & suspenders, but if you get a good belt & keep your belt in good condition, you'll probably do fine w/o suspenders too.

Which is far more efficient, without losing any of the reliability. From what I hear, P2 cards are indeed very reliable in their own right. (Though not 100% - and 4 SD cards raided means 4x the chance of an individual failure) But so are all the competitors, as long as you don't buy unbranded consumer grade - there's really little in it. The concept behind P2 - solid state recording - was good, but with hindsight it came out too early and saddled Panasonic with legacy issues. Hopefully microP2 will get them out of the hole. But I still wonder just what is the difference between microP2 and high-spec SDXC? Or is there very little difference apart from name and price tag? :-) The vast majority of data loss I've heard of has come down to finger trouble in one way or the other - typically formatting an unbacked up card by error. Absolute card reliability is very secondary to that. |
