Default Looking for WindowsXP KB955704 (now "big" SD cards)

Apparently mpeg-4 Part10 1280x720 is equal 3 mbps so I'll be able to
shoot video for 48 hours. But who's going to watch it.

(-:

But SD cards are so cheap now, as low as 8 dollars for 32, and 18 for
64GB.

Yes, USB and SD here have been below 25p/G for a while, at least for
USB2 (most larger ones are USB3 anyway now), so I'm not surprised
they're under 25c/G there. Watch for speed though - probably OK for
stills, but not necessarily for video - or were the prices you are
quoting for higher-speed cards too?

Hey, this means I can get the big one for the slot in the netbook. I'd
been thinking so much about the camera, I forgot about that.


Do you mean to extend the memory? Some years ago, I heard that (they
were talking about USB sticks rather than cards, but I suspect the same
may apply) that they could die in as little as a few hours if used to
give more memory, because of the repeated reading and writing; however,
if you mean just for data storage, that's probably OK (though I still
feel uncertain about using card or stick rather than HD for long-term
storage, because of the suddenness of its usual failure modes).
