I'd like to know if the Nexus has other features that make up for the inferior camera resolution since it's a few months newer than the Galaxy S2.
Thanks Andrew, I'm intrigued about the FM Radio, are you sure about that feature?

Which Memory card should I get for my DSLR when recording video?

Rebel Alli

I received a Canon Rebel T4i/650d as a gift and I want to use it mainly for taking video. I want to avoid getting the error "movie recording has stopped automatically" since my friends have encountered it. What SD Card should I buy? What size, how many MBs, what class and does the brand matter? Also could you explain why the error happens? Is it because of the camera's sensor,battery or does it stop recording solely because of the memory card?

Answer
I agree with Jim A about SDHC Class 10 - preferably with a high write speed like the Sandisk Extreme cards. I disagree about using multiple cards. What's the point of splitting your video over 2 smaller cards. If one card fails you've only got 1/2 a video, which is pretty much useless. SD cards do fail, so it's good to have a backup, but I've never had one fail on me yet. If you are that concerned about failure take a hard drive backup device with you.

The difference in cost between 8GB, 16GB and 32GB means I rarely buy less than 16GB these days and usually 32GB. The combination of raw files and video can fill a 16GB card pretty quickly.

For video I wouldn't use a DSLR anyway. A proper camcorder would give you proper power-zoom which no DSLR can do. It would also be less likely to record camera noises such as AF. The AF on camcorders is usually smoother and faster and doesn't hunt as much. DSLRs are really not the best tool for shooting video. Why spend out on a 16 megapixel sensor when 1080p only needs 2MP?

Most DSLRs won't allow you to video for more than 30 minutes without a break whatever card you use. First of all the file systems on the cards are 32bit, so don't allow more than 4GB in a single file. Secondly there seems to be a lot of speculation that there are additional EU import duties if the camera can record more than about 30 minutes in a single go because then it is treated as a video camera. The third thing is keeping a sensor live for that length of time can cause overheat problems. Most top-end DSLRs can cope with that but cheaper ones may restrict maximum record length even further to ensure it's not a problem.
