[QUOTE="Kodiak, post: 174003, member: 15426"] Hi there, This is the thing about consumer products: fetishism! Altogether, I use only "HIGH SPEED WRITE" 16, 32, and 64 GB SD cards. Why? [COLOR="#B22222"]The "write" speed.[/COLOR] The size of my files are good reasons enough: [INDENT][COLOR="#FFFFFF"]---[/COLOR]D3S = 12+ MP = 15 MB [COLOR="#FFFFFF"]---[/COLOR]D3X = 24+ MP = 30 MB D800E = 36+ MP = 50 MB[/INDENT] Which ever camera, [B][COLOR="#696969"]I need to shoot when I want to shoot![/COLOR][/B] If, during a shooting, If I happend to fill the buffer, I'll have to wait for the next shot that the buffer had time to transfer some picts to the card. I don't have to wait until it's empty but that some new room is made available. If a slow "write" card is in the camera… [INDENT]With the D3S, which is the on I use for high number sequences, it is important that I keep shooting when I want. With the D800E, I don't think of shooting so fast (it's not the right tool for this) but the files are more than three times the size of the D3S, and the buffer is not much bigger than the one in the D3X![/INDENT] The bottom line is writing speed. For every one? [B][COLOR="#696969"]No![/COLOR][/B] If you shoot at a low pixel count and are a casual shooter, "writing speed" is irrelevant and you may save a lot of money choosing lower "write" speed cards [COLOR="#B22222"]• The reliability[/COLOR] This is an important point for everybody. Lower or higher "write" speed does not say anything about the quality but the capacity. The reputation of a manufacturer is based on the quality, durability and reliability of the products made. These memory devices are everywhere and are getting cheaper. Many names are competing on the market for your money and as the saying goes, you have to earn it twice… If you do your homework, the hundreds you will save on fetishism, will get you your new lens sooner than you think.
