It's terrible that Larry has forced you into this. We'll try to be merciful (maybe!).
In my K-5 I usually use SanDisk Extreme 8GB cards. They hold about 300 DNG files (a lot more than the camera says it will hold when you first turn it on). I don't like putting too many eggs in one basket, and since I'm not doing high-volume shoots (such as a big wedding) I rarely have to change cards. Recently I bought an Extreme Pro 90MB/s card, and compared write and read speeds with a 45MB/s card in the K-5. There was no difference, except that the faster card cost twice as much.

So I checked the archives and don't see any recent threads about SD cards, and I'm wondering what size and kinds of cards people are using, particularly people with K-5/K-30. -- Hugs and backrubs -- I break Rule 6 http://rule6.info/ <*> <*> <*> "Red meat isn't bad for you, fuzzy green meat is bad for you." -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
