I'm in the market for a new SD card for my Panasonic GH5, and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by the options. I mainly shoot 4K video and occasionally dabble in high-frame-rate 1080p. What are your go-to SD cards for the GH5? I've heard V60 or V90 cards are recommended, but are they really necessary? Also, what capacity do you find most practical? I'm torn between 64GB and 128GB. Any specific brands or models you've had success with? Reliability is crucial for me, so I'd love to hear about your long-term experiences. Thanks in advance for your insights!

For the money, Lexar Professional 1066x cards have been rock solid in my GH5. They're V60 rated which is overkill for most GH5 shooting modes, but that extra headroom gives me peace of mind during long interview sessions. I typically run dual 64GB cards rather than one large card - if one fails mid-shoot, you've still got backup recording going to the second slot. The price per gigabyte is better on larger cards, but redundancy matters more to me than saving a few bucks.

For the Panasonic GH5, I highly recommend using UHS-II SD cards for optimal performance. The camera can take full advantage of the faster read/write speeds. Some great options include:
- SanDisk Extreme Pro UHS-II V90 (300MB/s)
- Sony SF-G Tough Series UHS-II (300MB/s)
- Lexar Professional 2000x UHS-II (300MB/s)
These cards will handle 4K video recording and high-speed burst shooting without any issues. Just make sure to get at least 64GB or 128GB capacity to have enough space for your footage.

Just get a v60 or v90 SD card.
