p.3 #5 · p.3 #5 · 1Dx - compact flash cards, which one is enough? | |
Something I think worth pointing out about cold weather performance... and of course this will depend on how you're shooting in the cold... is if it's something like a football game (at least for me), I'm shooting pretty much constantly and the internals of the camera actually warm up a fair amount due to the significant CPU and data transfer activity. Therefore, while cold weather rating is nice, in some situations, it might not really make a difference if the camera's internals are operating at an above freezing temperature.
BTW, in the 1DX, I've been using older Transcend 16GB 600x UDMA6 and new Transcend 32GB UDMA7 cards. I do notice a slight difference between the two, in favour of the UDMA7s clearing the buffer faster and extending the buffer depth.
Like Lars, I'm a Transcend fan because they've been solid for me over the past 10 years and offer a very competitive value/performance ratio. Yes, perhaps the Lexars and Sandisk are at times slightly faster, but at least for me, it hasn't been enough of an incentive to spend up to double, or so, for equivalent capacity.
While some will argue, if you're going to spend $7K on a camera, what's another $70 per card? Fair enough, but I have yet to experience a reason not to get the Transcend cards...
