There are a lot of SD cards with fake capacities, they appear to be large |
| 13 |
but are actually a smaller card reprogrammed to do so. You only find out |
| 14 |
when you go beyond the true capacity. There are tools to check this, such |
| 15 |
as sys-block/f3. |

Yes, I tested the card in the dashcam, it has been running reliably for |
| 18 |
several years, including producing footage that the police used in their |
| 19 |
prosecution of a drunk driver. I've also used a microSDXC card in a |
| 20 |
camera, with an SD adaptor, with no issues. |

They are, but the differences are minor so don't necessarily cause |
| 26 |
compatibility issues. However, it is always worth making sure than the |
| 27 |
card and camera are fully compatible before trusting it to anything |
| 28 |
important. |
