If I wanted a camera with a super high speed frame rate, I would get the camera, and then get the card that is supported at the camera's highest frame rate. Since the technology changes at a rapid pace, and I do not know what you are looking for, I will not make any specific recommendation. See my update posting about a prior problem I had. -- PeterN |

It depends. only if you're mayayana stuck using winxp and slow usb2 will it matter. for the rest of the world, the card speed is the limiting factor, not the computer. |

Uh huh! I must not be part of "the rest of the world". very true. The time it takes for a card to transfer the photos to the computer is of no concern to me at all. Cutting that time in half would not be of any advantage. My usual routine is to remove the card, insert it in the reader, and start the upload. While the photos are being uploaded, I remove the battery from the camera and put it in the charger. By the time I finish doing that, and return to the computer, all the images have been uploaded. you must not shoot very many images at a time. Because I upload using Import in Lightroom, the time consuming part is waiting for LR to generate the Smart Previews. I know I can set LR to generate Minimal previews, or one of the other faster options, but I don't mind the wait for Smart Previews. that has absolutely nothing to do with the speed of the card. It's not like I have something terribly urgent or important to do in those extra minutes. I just Alt-Tab to a different window and check my email or a newsgroup. i have an older 64 gig uhs card (the fastest available at the time) which takes around 15 minutes to copy when it's full (very easy to do with video). a 256 gig card of similar speed would be in the 1 hour range. newer and faster cards could reduce that to 20-30 minutes. |
