Re: Mark IV hands-on only thread


Yeah, good question about SD card options. I\'m waiting for Rob Galbraith to update his memory card database.

The thing about SD cards in the Mark III and II/IIN was that some actually wrote faster than the fastest CF cards, so there was a reason to use them instead of CF. Now that the IV supports UDMA mode 6, the better options seem to be CF cards. Another issue with SD/SDHC is card to computer transfer speeds. For UDMA cards there are firewire or card bus memory card readers that allow very fast transfer speeds, which is even more relevant considering the IV\'s large file sizes. SDHC card readers all seem to be USB and slow in comparison. Perhaps this will change with USB 3 compatible readers...

For now I use a couple Transcend SDHC class 6 8GB cards as \'last resort\' or for automatic spill over in case I\'m unable to change out CF cards. But I am curious whether anyone has tried SDHC Class 10 cards and noticed much of a difference, or if they\'re even compatible?
