Anybody here using 128GB CF card with D3s?
I tried the Transcend brand 128GB and 64GB CF cards on my D3s and I am having delays on image playback. When I push the play button it takes 7 to 10 seconds for the image to show up on the LCD. In comparison, using a 16GB card the playback is instant.
I do not know if this delay occurs even with Sandisk and Lexar brand 128GB CF cards. Anyone have experience with these?
Just to clarify the 7 to 10 second delay I am experiencing, here are more details:
I set the camera to write JPEG+RAW to one card only.
The camera (D3/D3s) contains only one CF card. Second CF slot is empty.
I take one photo.
The LCD shows the preview instantly (so far so good).
I take a break for 30 seconds (or 3 minutes, the time makes no difference).
I now press the play button to view the 1 picture I just took.
The image does not show on the rear LCD until about 7 to 10 seconds (this is the problem).
This problem occurs whether the card is empty or almost full. The 7 to 10 second delay is not related to how full the card is.
I see this problem on Transcend 64GB and 128GB cards. It's not a manufacturing defect because I tested 2 of each and all 4 cards had the same behavior. Other than this playback delay problem, the cards worked perfectly. I do not have this problem on my 32GB and smaller cards. People on newegg.com have also reported this problem on their Nikon DSLRs but apparently not on Canon DSLRs, which suggests a compatiblity problem rather than a simple "larger cards have longer delays", but this is just word of mouth with no actual evidence.
I do not know if Sandisk and Lexar have the same problem on Nikon D3/D3s, and I have no way of testing. Anyone know if Amazon.com will allow you to return an opened CF card package?
