Memory Card Roundup
Posted: Mon Jul 24, 2006 10:42 amIt's interesting to have another set of results, but be aware that the numbers in that article won't necessarily apply to your camera.
Because of the intricacies of things like card latency vs. camera latency and buffering, different camera models will achieve different speeds, on a per-card basis. That is, card A might be faster in camera 1 than in camera 2, whereas card B might be faster in camera 2.
A very useful performance database is at Rob Galbraith's site. Of course, not every card available has been tested so it sometimes doesn't answer all the questions, but it's fairly comprehensive.
That TrustedReview article certainly adds a few data points, but be careful when extrapolating the card performance to camera models other than the EOS 1Ds Mk.II!
