Re: D80 and SD card

Maximum PC actually ran tests on this a few months ago. I wish I could find the article. My dim recollection was that dSLRs top out at write speeds less than 10x. The faster cards can download faster with an appropriate card reader but that's about it. I only occasionally shoot in 2-3 frame bursts. I have cards of all speeds and under those circumstances there is no difference whatever in cards whatever their rated speed.



Thanks for the info. I've seen cards all the way up to 150x. I did get a faster card for my D80 and now it will take up to 6 photos in a sequence before having to wait on the card and it is a bit quicker to dump, but not nearly as much as it would be if it was dumping as quickly as the card.
