How long can you record at appx 1920 x 1080
« on: June 12, 2013, 05:05:35 PM »
I'm sorry in advance if this has been discussed, I was trying to find it on the forums but I couldn't.  I was trying to estimate (I own a 5D mk III) how long I could record raw at 1920 x 1080 on a 64 or 128gb CF card.  I thin that people here said the average rate was like 85- 89 megabytes per second.  I figured that's about 25 minutes on the 128gb card.  I just want to know if my estimate is correct or if I've messed up somehow and I'm way off, I've not been able to do any tests myself.  I'm looking to buy a cf card and how long you can record is a big factor in which one I choose.  Thanks for the help.

You are correct, I get about 12 min on a 64gb cf card

It's like 12 minutes 15 seconds on a 64GB card.

Thanks, folks.

Sorry if this bumps the thread with no new information, but I really appreciate you posting your results; this is exactly the info I need to plan card purchases.
