Writing to Card is a lot speedier with v2.0 Q2

Just installed the new Q2 firmware. Writing to the SD card is significantly improved. The buffer hasn't improved, of course, so I still get only 9 fast DNG+JPEG photos before the camera stops shooting, but instead of ~20 sec to finish writing, now it's <10 seconds. The card is a Sandisk Extreme Pro 300 mb/sec 64 GB. 

I had never saved my settings as a User Profile, so I lost them. (Hint, when the camera asks if you would like to save your user settings before doing the firmware upgrade, it's NOT going to tell you that you don't have any.  ) Now I get to spend the next 30 minutes trying to recreate my settings. Sigh.

I didn't have any profiles set up. I said "yes" to saving user settings during upgrade, then afterwards did an "Import Profiles", and they all came back. Default profile is a profile.

If you haven't erased your card yet, put it into the camera and do that. I think you'll be pleased with the results.

I did try to import profiles and nothing happened. Tried it several times.
