Advertisement Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Hi Zipy2691, Take a look here Optimal specs for the SDHC Card. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
h00ligan Posted February 5, 2011 Share #2 Â Posted February 5, 2011 Anything above a class 4 in the x1 does nothing (I tested between 4 and 6).. but it does aid the speed transferring to computer. Â Class 6 are cheap now.. get a few of those imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulrichx1 Posted February 13, 2011 Share #3 Â Posted February 13, 2011 Are there any official data available from L.? The manual seems to be silent on this. I would be interested to know whether my class 4 card creates a hidden bottle neck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
h00ligan Posted February 13, 2011 Share #4 Â Posted February 13, 2011 I've tested it, with two class four. It doesn't matter going faster in camera. You're free to repeat the tests...guess I should have videod them. Â It's a relatively moot point now though, class six are cheap and easy to find..fours are on the way out. If you have a four, run a burst and time it, compare to the six. Easy test. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eelekim Posted February 13, 2011 Share #5 Â Posted February 13, 2011 I've tested class 4 and 10. About 2 seconds difference when shooting with DNG + Super Fine JPG setting. I use a Sandisk Extreme Pro now. Don't bother to test anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiILX1 Posted February 14, 2011 Share #6  Posted February 14, 2011 I've tested class 4 and 10. About 2 seconds difference when shooting with DNG + Super Fine JPG setting. I use a Sandisk Extreme Pro now. Don't bother to test anymore.  I have the Extreme III 30mb/s. Let's do a comparison test for the time it takes for the 6 shot data transfer notice to disappear. I will time it 5 times and take the average.  I expect no difference. But if there is then wow- Leica really maxed the write speed.  Because we are going for maximum speed, my relevant settings are: 1.8mp JPG DNG + JPG FINE Continuous HighB&W High Contrast SHARP: HIGH CONTRAST: HIGH EXT VIEWFINDER ON REC HISTOGRAM: ON SRGB  My test results are:  8.9s 9.2s 9.0s 9.1s 9.1s  AVG: 9.06s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiILX1 Posted February 16, 2011 Share #7 Â Posted February 16, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) To clarify- this is the time duration that the "Data Transfer" dialogue box is displayed. Â I'd be curious to see what it is not only with the PRO series, but also if anyone has the ULTRA or ULTRA II series. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiILX1 Posted February 25, 2011 Share #8 Â Posted February 25, 2011 Bump- I think I'm not the only one who would like to know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
h00ligan Posted February 26, 2011 Share #9 Â Posted February 26, 2011 I personally think that you hit a ceiling above class 6 - I ran the test, and I'd guess in your test there was some user variance. I did the test 3-5 times between a 4 and 6 and saw no difference, and there were different models of each. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
