Note the smiley, Joe. Others have commented on your negativity - I've stayed away from that. I was just poking a little fun at the reputation you've garnered here over the past few months as someone who's frequently finding fault. We can all learn to laugh at ourselves a bit ... Why do I give i

Well, we've got to remember that it's Joe making the call ;-)) Shel - Shel, why do you feel the need to blurt out a statement like that? And why do you give in to the feeling? I expected, perhaps naively, that a card that is 150% faster in its nominal rating (150x vs 60x) should give some

If you did it right (yes, it is a pretty simple test) and these are the numbers, it shows that you're getting something for your money over the Transcend 150x cards. I suspected that the Transcend cards might be rated a bit optimistically. Of course, I'd like to get my hands on an Extreme II

Well, we've got to remember that it's Joe making the call ;-)) Today I had a chance to play with the K10D and used both an 80X card and a 133X card. Even without measured tests and movies, it was clear that the 10D was faster with the faster card. Whether one needs the speed is another matter (I

I decided to add the performance testing I did with the K10D to the page I did on the *ist DS bodies last July. Updated and QuickTime movies of the capture included ... you can see how the cameras' buffer size and write speed to the cards affects the distribution of sequence captures explic
