mhoutman Posted September 3, 2006 Share #1 Posted September 3, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) what is the safe way to buy: These Sandisk Ultra II or Extreme III, considering that prices will only get lower (apart from the Extreme IV) TIA Michiel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 Hi mhoutman, Take a look here M8: SD card type (speed). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
pascal_meheut Posted September 3, 2006 Share #2 Posted September 3, 2006 Wait till it is out but in the meantime, avoid the Ultra II: in the DMR, it is slower than 150x card like the Transcend 2Gb for instance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Hare Posted September 3, 2006 Share #3 Posted September 3, 2006 Given that the Leica is hardly the sort of machine that is going to be used for sports/action or rapid multi frame shooting then does it really matter? I think the basic 'cooking' variety of card will be fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pascal_meheut Posted September 3, 2006 Share #4 Posted September 3, 2006 Once again, one cannot predict how the M8 will be. However, it matters on the DMR: because one does not want to wait 2 min before zooming when reviewing, because sometimes the 8 or so raw pictures are not that much and the faster the buffer is flushed to the card, the faster one can take another shot.

Trevor Hare Posted September 3, 2006 Share #5 Posted September 3, 2006 Anyway, I am sure potential buyers are not going to begrudge the few extra dollars for a faster card (whether it is necessary or not) and will probably buy an Extreme III/IV or equivalent without a second thought.

TimF Posted September 3, 2006 Share #6 Posted September 3, 2006 Anyway, I am sure potential buyers are not going to begrudge the few extra dollars for a faster card (whether it is necessary or not) and will probably buy an Extreme III/IV or equivalent without a second thought. Frankly, if someone lays out £3000 on a camera and then quibbles about a measly few quid for a card, I'll just have a good laugh. With luck, maybe Galbraith will add the M8 to his database. No guarantee of course, the DMR isn't featured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sreidvt Posted September 3, 2006 Share #7 Posted September 3, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) I use the Sandisk Ultra II SD cards for all kinds of cameras. So far, they've been fast and reliable. Knock wood. Cheers, Sean http://www.reidreviews.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
