Thanks for sharing your information...Hi Anonymous,<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your information, although it would be helpful to know more about your testing methodology as the numbers you provide out of context don't help much.<br /><br />I should also point out that the conclusion of my article remaiins intact. Yes, faster cards will make a difference on your computer if you have have a fast enough card reader and disk i/o. However, even the mighty Nikon D4 and 1D X are still much slower than the fastest readers so they still lack any significant benefit of the fastest cards. <br /><br />It's also a reality that even HD video (1080p) doesn't require a card faster than 30/mbps so the only place where you benefit from the faster cards is on your computer and only when you have a fast card reader on a fast connection going to a fast hard drive (SSD/Flash is best) with a fast disk controller. ronmartblog.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06815090271742112506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826231802859523569.post-68985936366968515652012-08-30T17:43:26.710-07:002012-08-30T17:43:26.710-07:00Lexar 16gb 1000x : 4 seconds
