Recently purchased the above memory card. Up until now I posessed the following cards: 16gb Class 6 Transcend, 8gb Class 4 Kingston, 2gb Transcend 150x (no class listed). In a test of write speeds I consistently timed the following using Manual Mode, Continuous shooting of 15 frames, (the most frames possible before slowing down due to buffer), 1/640, f4.0, Manual focus, camera not moved and shooting with artificial lighting. The camera has the latest version,1.04, and fresh battery. Each card was tested 5 times and each test was performed with a freshly formatted card. Timing till buffer was empty is as follows:
- 2gb Transcend 150x took 35 seconds
- 8gb Class 4 Kingston took 40 seconds
- 8gb Class 6 Transcend card took 35 seconds
- 32gb Class 10 Mushkin took 65 seconds
I was expecting better results from the Mushkin due to the claimed class. Has anyone else experienced slow write times with Mushkin? What is the fastest card to pair with the K-20D? Are there any sites with test data?
Thanks for reading and replying.
