I decided to buy some more memory, and with the files sizes of the K20, I went with 8gb cards. I also went kinda cheap and bought some Patriot class 6 cards. I decided to run a speed test to see how they compared to the Ultra II and Extreme III cards that I have been buying. So, with the AF turned off, and the shutter speed set to 1/160 second, I fired continuous bursts until the buffer filled, and then timed how long it took for the write indicator to go out.
With the Patriot 8gb class 6 card, the buffer filled at 15 exposures, and took a full minute to write. With the Ultra II, the buffer also filled at 15 exposures, but took about 35 seconds to empty, and with the Exreme III, the buffer filled at 17 exposures, and took about 17 seconds to empty. Thats all for now.
