Laica Posted November 8, 2009 Share #61 Posted November 8, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Just formatted my Sandisk 8Gb extreme III card. Anyone noticed the misspelling Formating instead of formatting ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wparsonsgisnet Posted November 13, 2009 Share #62 Posted November 13, 2009 Last nite I received my new 16GB Ultra II cards. They say 15MB-Class 4 on them. I compared their speed to my 8GB Transcend Class 6 cards: Ultra II -- 7-8 dng captures before buffer full, 18 or 29 seconds to recover fully (comp vs non-comp) Transc - 7-8 cng captures, 10 or 20 seconds to recover (light stops blinking) The camera is ready to capture another (only one) image in 2 - 3 seconds, but I shoot dance images in gropups not in ones. The packaging for the Ultra's are marked 100x I believe the slower Transcend was marked 150x. And, I don't understand how the class 4 card can be faster then the class 6. I thot the Class rating was also the write speed, class 6 being 6gm/sec, and so on. Anyway the Ultra II's are 2x as fast as the Transcend's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From your data the Transcend are faster, not the Ultras. I have been using Transcends (also marked 150x) in the M8 and was planning to continue in the M9. Now I am totally confused.

The Sandisk is twice as fast as the Transcend when the M9 is writing. My bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wparsonsgisnet Posted November 18, 2009 Share #65 Posted November 18, 2009 Is anyone using the 32gb ultra ii's? I see them for $80 at Adorama. BTW, the 2gb and the 16gb show the same writing speeds in my tests. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill, When I bought my 16GB Ultra II's from Amazon France, the 32GB cards were over 4 times the price of a 16GB one, so I decided not to bother. Once the price loading comes down to equate to the minor inconvenience factor of carrying two cards, I will go for a 32 GB one. At the rate memory price is dropping, that will be about three months. The 64MB card I bought for my Digilux Zoom, was around £150 in 1999! Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
250swb Posted November 18, 2009 Share #67 Posted November 18, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) An interesting thread. I have just tested a 16gb Extreme III and the writing time for 7 uncompressed .dng files is 19 seconds, a 4gb Extreme III took 28 seconds, and 4gb Panasonic 'Class 6' took 21 seconds, all timed from end of sequence to the light stopping blinking.

I was waiting for the price to drop, as well, and may wait a little longer, but I thot maybe someone has one and can advise. Geez, I'm only getting a few hundred images on the 16GB card. Joking aside, this would not normally be a problem, but the bride recently made a 1-hour dance. I didn't have the M9 at that time, so my M8 handled the task with an 8Gb card just fine. Try as I may, I can't seem to stop feeding files to my disk farm! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
