Re: will the sd card from my s3 be compatible in an s5?

Yes. Will it be large enough? That depends on you. Will it be fast enough? That depends on what Class the card is. You could get by with a Class 4 or Class 6 card on an S3, but that would slow an S5 down when accessing the card and wouldn't be fast enough for full-speed video saved directly to the card. (You could save to internal storage, then move the file to the card.) If it's a Class 10 (or U1 - same thing) card, it's fast enough for anything but 4k video.
