U3 just means 30mb/s min transfer rate. U1 means 10mb/s transfer rate. I have been using 128gb 95m/s U3 cards without issue on firmwares that require the 64gb 95m/s cards. The main thing is UHS-1 not UHS-2 or UHS-3, as these have an extra row of contacts on the card to allow faster transfer rates and isn't supported by the gh2. I beleive the 128gb cards weren't for sale back when most of these firmwares were written. Currently the SanDisk 128GB Extreme Pro UHS-I SDXC U3 Memory Card (Class 10) that I have been using is on sale at b&h for $99. Good bargain in my opinion.
Well I probably shouldn't have refered to the write speed as 95 meters per second either. Hexagonal I hope you understood the message I was trying to convey
The issue in this case is that Mb is a valid abbreviation for megabit, which is how video is measured. But the card speed is measured in megabyte, requiring a capital B in the abbreviation.
So I guess my point is that written messages are much easier understood when the proper conventions are ALWAYS followed - capitals, spelling, grammar, etc. Texting, chatting, posting on the Internet are NOT exceptions to the rules of writing we all had to follow when writing those class essays.
The snake ate my leg, I couldn't skate, just derivate for christ's sake where is Mr. Driftcake??!!!
One more nail on the coffin and a piece of content for the republic of china's army to torture semi-innocent souls. BTW in the remotely plausible case anyone interested on watching a decent H264 copy (207MB) it will be available for 1 week here =)
The problem with @Driftwood's patches is that they're so good, one stops taking photos :P
More from planet Nebula T8... it seems I can't manage to leave
MY HEART IS WITH ALL HIMALAYAN PEOPLE
my hands gettin' dirty =)

This is absolutely OT but if not here I don't know where else shall I share my excitement;
two days ago I found buried under a town of books 3 copies (photocopies - producer's work copy) of original scripts with hand annotations and all by Orson Welles (The Dreamers), Greenaway and Fellini (La Vocce dela Luna)
Now, on toppic, I filmed them with hacked GH2 =)

@driftwood ...looking forward to seeing both, Sir...Spizz and Moon. And I, for one, I'm very glad/happy, that you're still pushing the GH2 with your patches.
When I was a kid I always wanted to be an astronaut... now thanks to you @Driftwood, and without too many drugs I feel like one ,-)
BTW I really like how Nebula (HBR and 720p) bitrate scales with High ISOs, within same lighting conditions.
It would be super duper if there was an option to force patch to its maximum bitrate (disregarding scene detail and DR) for high ISOs... denoising would be "easier" and guess one could savage more details... just TOL thinking out loud :P
@yskunto what is the major difference between those two?
@Jim_Simon those card for Moon T7 are a bit expensive, also i am not a professional, i use GH2 for familiy times, events, etc, so if possible i would like to use max potential of this card i already have.
@Jim_Simon, I'm interested in your feeling/conclusion that Moon T7 is the best patch. Do you mind elaborating on what about it is better than which other patches? It seems to me that this sort of information sharing about the comparison of the patches is a bit sparse.
I have gotten better results with Moon T8 in 24H and in SH modes, so for me it is the clear winner so far. It does seem to me like the darks are cleaner with Moon T8, but sometimes there is unexpected noise in the mids and maybe even the light end of the highlights. Overall the quality I've gotten with Moon T8 has been stellar, even if mild denoising was needed.
Oh, as for dado023's question, Moon T8 is also less demanding on cards than Moon T7 from what I've found, and I even think I had success on some regular old Class 10 cards I had laying around. Honestly I can't remember that for sure though.
At any rate, for the people who prefer Moon T7 (which I did use successfully on a project, and I love Moon T7) over Moon T8, I'm interested in what about it you prefer. As much as I love Moon T7, I love Moon T8 even more. :)
