HC SD cards in M8


Recommended Posts

Never mind, I see that they are not yet supported.

 

I have been using the Transcend 48x 4gb cards since I first got the M8 in November of 2006. I now have a second M8 and the cards work fine it it also. If capacity is your major issue (as opposed to read and write speed) the Transcend cards work well and are not expensive. I believe Guy also uses these cards as well.

You have to check this almost daily, but when I looked last week, nobody was yet offering 4GB or larger SDHC cards (the Transcend cards are just SD format, cheating somehow to get the extra 2GB),. This may be why Leica is not yet supporting a standard that hasn't quite firmed up yet and can't be tested. I don't know if camera write speed will be much increased with the new standard, but I expect that you will be able to upload files from an SDHC card (in an SDHC reader) 2-4X faster. That is the principal limitation of the Transcend 150X cards -- mine are slower to read than the SanDisk Extreme IIIs of the same size.
