Re: Lexar 2 GB 80X

[John Coyle]

I have a SanDisk Ultra II CF 512MB and a 256MB for my *ist-D. I just timed a 
set of raw shots at approximately 8.8-9.9 seconds with an electronic timer 
on the 512 card.
Interestingly, the image comes up on the LCD before the drive indicator 
comes on, so there's a second or so of processing before the write event (as 
you'd expect, of course).

I have a standard Sandisk 1Gb and a Lexar 40X WA 1Gb card and the write 
speed in the *istD is virtually identical at around 9 secs. I guess the 
camera is the limiting factor.

My Pentax 43WR is greatly improved with a Sandisk Ultra II SD card 
compared to a standard one. So it could be that it's just Lexar with their 
WA technology that's rubbish.

Anyone got a Sandisk Ultra II CF card for the *istD?

   Has anyone timed how fast the D will write a raw file to a normal speed
   SanDisk? Does someone want to time it to find out? I am wondering
   whether there is any point in buying the faster cards for the D.
