So we got our panasonic gx1 yesterday; havn't had much time to fiddle with it; but we plan on going on a holiday to hawaii for 2 weeks.
My wife is into photography (whom camera is pretty much for); Ill prob take a few but I will mostly want to take some movies of stuff 1080i scenery/animals etc...

I'm thinking about purchasing a 64 gig class 10sdxc for our trip ...
do you think this will be enough space?

wondering if I need to be concerned with the card filling up and having a way to get stuff off it to something else ... not sure I want to bring our laptop.

- I could also get 2 32gig class 10s for about the same price as the above; but I think the sdxc is faster in xfer speeds from what I looked at. Any reason to get 2 32s instead of just the 64?

any other advice for the trip? ...
 
so do sd cards go bad a lot? ... you guys sure talk about risk/probs with the sd cards ...
Ive had a 4gig on my regular camera for years and no probs - but Im only a casual user.
and ya dont really want to lose all the photos - just thought they would all be in one place and give us a decent capacity.

So is there much difference in the speed say of between a patriot 64gb sdxc as compared to cards you are mentioning? for quality of movies/pics my wife may take?
 
ya talked to my wife about it and she is leaning toward 2 cards also or least more then 1 ... wish they had more benches for the cards.

still may want to get 2 32's thou - btw the mp4 at 1080i is 20mbs write is needed or desired ... like to know what cards come close to that. That samsung does look like a decent one thou at the 16gb.

I have a feeling she might like the raw photo footage but who knows ... wish there were more reviews of the sd cards 32 gb size or something. thanks for that link for the samsung thou may be a option
