psurrette Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #1 · CF Card speed help! I just purchased one of the new SanDisk Extreme 60MB/s cards. I shoot with a Canon Mark IIn and I was expecting to be able to shoot more frames at 8fps with the faster card compared to the Extreme III which is only 30MB/s. I typically shoot RAW and can get a sequence of 21-23 frames before the buffer is full and need to let the card catch up. The new 60 MB/s card makes no difference. Buffer still fills after 22-24 shots. I did back to back testing tonight switching cards multiple times shooting at 1/500th and both cards seemed to the same. Looking for some technical advice here as I have a shoot next week that I need to shoot a sequence of about 4-5 seconds and need more than 24 shots. I do not want to go down to a jpeg file as the art director requested RAW files. I thought going to the faster card would help I was thinking of going to the new 90MB's card but if it will not help I do not want to spend the $$$$! Any advice would be appreciated.

Only in reading out to a computer... sorry.. Nov 03, 2009 at 07:23 AM

Allan Bruce Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #4 · CF Card speed help! However reading the cards on a PC with a decent reader should yield a speed factor of 2 so it's not all lost! Nov 03, 2009 at 07:48 AM
