I am tempted to get a couple, but will the K10D and K-x really benefit from having a class 10 card over say, a class 6?
Actually I didn't try.... Once I googled, I found even better deals in this country.
I just did a little benchmarking and found that my Sandisk Extreme III 8GB consistently reads at just under 18000KB/s, whereas my Transcend Class 6 16GB ranges from ~11000 to 14500KB/s. (Write speeds are ~ half read speeds.)
The Sandisk Extreme III is labeled class 6, but it's supposedly class 10. I'd really like a 16GB that writes as fast as my Extreme III, but $$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
Re the Kx, I think once you get past a certain threshold, the only benefit to greater write speed is that the camera can dump its buffer to the card more quickly. I've run into that issue a few times when I was doing continuous shooting. The Transcend is in my S90, and I use the Sandisks in my Kx, so I have no real-world comparison.
