Ok, now that the URSA is shipping (B&H told me I'm #6 on their list now, so I should get mine on their next batch) we have to get media too.
Sandisk's cards are the only brand available at B&H and Adorama at the moment and they are super expensive.
Considering that each 120GB card is able to record 6 minutes of 4k RAW footage, I guess that for cinema or advertising work, we need to have AT LEAST six 120GB cards and at $1.200 each, the sum goes up to $7.200 (more than the actual camera!!!) only for the CFAST Cards.
I noticed that Transcend has announced their CFAST 2.0 line for much better prices but I can't find those cards available anywhere and Transcend tech support did not reply to any of the 6 e-mails I sent them over the past few weeks.
They are advertising a 512GB card for $899.99 (with 500mb/s read and 250mb/sec write speeds: faster than the current Sandisk cards!)
So what are you guys planning on doing regarding this matter?
Are you all getting a bunch of Sandisk Cfast cards or are you waiting for Transcend?
I was thinking about getting just a couple of Sandisks so I could start shooting and then wait for Transcend's...
