Originally posted by Rico Kunzite so you are saying that UHS-II doesn't greatly improve the speed at which the files are written to the SD card? That some how it is something else that improved this for the D850 other than the improved storage bus? So why did Nikon move to the faster storage bus if it is not really needed? Of course you know that answer because you can not cram 50lbs of potato's into a 35lb sack. The only way to improve performance was to move to UHS-II. The XDQ slot is even faster.
Like I said Kunzite I have the K-1 so I know from experience the limitations of UHS-I. The biggest obstacle to using the K-1 is waiting on the SD bus to catch up. Waking from sleep you can here the system communicating: Press shutter release:Hello System time to wake up: System to storage unit time to wake up. Ok system storage unit is awake now. System okay Ready to go. It's glacial.
Have you read that claim
in my posts? No? They, I'm not saying that.
But you were saying that UHS-II means a better battery life, with a bogus theory about images being held in RAM. I'm sorry, but we can't go guessing here, we can't use intuition as
it doesn't work.
I have the K-1 (now upgraded to the K-1 II), too; you don't have to explain me its (lack of) speed. It's not capable of using the full (SDR-104) UHS-I speed, by the way.
Making up theories about how UHS-II would solve this or that is unneeded and even counter-productive; we don't have to look for any excuse other than increasing the write speed.
I'd be happy if the next model will have at least SDR-104 UHS-I, even if that means a further decline in battery life.
