I'm looking for recommendations on the best memory card to use with it. I'll be shooting a mix of 4K 60p video and high-resolution stills, so I need a card with fast write speeds and reliable performance.
What memory cards are you using, and how have they performed in terms of speed and reliability? Any specific brands or models I should consider?

Saw this earlier but just now responding. Im a bit of a stickler for reliability because losing footage is my biggest fear. When I first got the GH7, I was pretty nervous about picking the wrong card, so I spent a lot of time reading manuals and trying to understand the technical side. Tbh, for 4K 60p, the requirements are pretty steep. I found that while UHS-II is okay, CFexpress feels a lot safer for long recordings. Here is what I have noticed from my experience:
- CFexpress Type B cards generally handle the heat better during high-bitrate recording sessions.
- If you use SD cards, you really need a V60 or V90 rating or the camera might just stop recording mid-take. I went with the ProGrade Digital CFexpress Type B Gold 512GB for my main video work. For the second slot, I use a Sony TOUGH-G series SDXC UHS-II 128GB because the build quality feels more rugged for backup. Quick tips:
- Always check the manual to see if your specific video bitrate requires the CFexpress slot.
- Format your card in the camera every single time you offload your files to keep the file system clean.

Use a UHS-II SD card.
