I have a Leica M 262 in my hands for the next week

Data from turning on the 262 to shoot time in seconds. Commas separate multiple tests:

 

2GB SanDisk Extreme III 20MB/second write - 2.28 (Just for fun tested this old card. Was also the fastest card in my M-E)

 

8GB Panasonic 25MB/s write speed formatted with camera only - 5.27, 5.50

8GB Panasonic formatted with SDFormatter only - 2.34, 2.55, 2.55

8GB Panasonic formatted with SDFormatter then camera - 2.33, 2.56, 2.60

 

16GB Panasonic 25MB/s write speed - 5.2

16GB Panasonic formatted with SDFormatter only - 2.43, 2.46, 2.50

16GB Panasonic formatted with SDFormatter plus camera - 2.53, 2.60, 2.60, 2.83

 

16GB Samsung Pro "White" 60MB/s write speed (latest version) - 2.39

16GB Samsung Pro "White" 50MB/s write speed - 2.35, 2.62

16GB Samsung Pro "Black" 40MB/s write speed - 2.33

 

32GB SanDisk Extreme PRO Write Up To 95MB/s formatted with SDFormatter only - 3.11, 3.10

32GB SanDisk Extreme PRO Write Up To 95MB/s formatted with SDFormatter then camera - 3.04

 

It probably makes sense a single photo written to a 25MB/s or 60MB/s card is just as fast. The 262 RAW files are anywhere from 22 to 29MB in size. Why the SanDisk would be just a little slower is perplexing.

They were either formatted with SDFormatter on my Mac using the "Overwrite" option or in the camera. Too bad I missed your post in that thread. Would have been interesting to try formatting them as exFAT but I shipped the camera back today. Looks like you were using the card I speculated may be the best for this camera, the SanDisk 16GB Extreme Pro.
