Overgaard Posted August 19, 2008 Share #1 Posted August 19, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) I can see a small difference in buffer-speed between 50X and 133X Kingston 2GB SD-cards in the DMR. Has anyone found the "limit of speed" the DMR can utilize? I know, for the Digilux 2, any card speed higher 50X is a waste of money. But haven't performed the test on the DMR. Hope someone has.

robsteve Posted August 24, 2008 Share #2 Posted August 24, 2008 I have found the Sadisk 2gb Extreme III to be the fastest in the DMR. Other similar or faster rated cards seemed to be slower than the Extreme III. Robert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
topoxforddoc Posted August 24, 2008 Share #3 Posted August 24, 2008 I use the Transcend 150x ultra cards - as recommended by Guy Mancuso a couple of years ago. Charlie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overgaard Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share #4 Posted August 25, 2008 Thanks. Just ordered a SanDisc Extrene III that I will get today SanDisk | Products | Photo & Video | Extreme III SD Cards as well as a Patriot Patriot Memory - Patriot Flash Memory Have a flood of Kingston 50x cards that work fine Kingston Technology Company - Flash Memory - Secure Digital - Elite Pro but seem a little slower (like 15% slower) than the 133X Kingston cards Kingston Technology Company - Flash Memory - Secure Digital - Ultimate Shall be intersting to test the differences.

roguewave Posted August 25, 2008 Share #5 Posted August 25, 2008 I left one of my Transcend 4G 150 cards in my shorts. After my wife discovered that it must have been in the washing machine & then spilled out in the dryer, I plugged it in the computer & down loaded the images. I still can't believe it.

Overgaard Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share #6 Posted August 25, 2008 Thanks for the info on Transcend 4GB card. Haven't been able to find 4GB cards for DMR so far. So I can go look for Transcend now. Did you use Ajax or Ariel for your SD-card? ;-) OKAY, so I just did the test today as to speed of SD cards in the DMR. 9 continuous DNG shots and how long it takes from first shot till all nine pictures are stored and the camera rests completely again: 38 seconds - 2GB Kingston 50X 38 seconds - 2GB Kingston 133X 36 seconds - 2GB SanDisk Extreme III (20 MB/S = ca. 133X) 44 seconds - 2GB Patriot 133X Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhsimmonds Posted August 26, 2008 Share #7 Posted August 26, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) I also use Transcend 4Gb cards with my DMR. A total of 201 Raw (DNG) images per card. No complaints for speed or reliability at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
