[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 9946, member: 1061"] Mr. Bautsch is right...[URL="http://www.readthefuckingmanual.com/"]RTFM[/URL]. A lot of consumers are sucked into the name game. We want everything to be bigger/faster/stronger, so when we see high speed memory cards (which are always more expensive), we snatch them up thinking it will improve load times. It doesn't. The card may be faster, but 9 times out of 10, the camera will limit your speed more than the card will. [URL="http://www.hoodmanusa.com/products.asp?dept=1007"]Here is a great example[/URL]. This company is [B]counting[/B] on consumers being misinformed. [COLOR=red][B]No camera on the planet has a write speed of 675x![/B][/COLOR] Yet we're "wowed" with statements like this: Don't fall for this garbage. Snake Oil salesmen still exist, and this is one of them. I hesitate to even post that link. Because even after all that has been said, some idiot will click it and buy one of those cards. Why? BECAUSE THEY DON'T READ. [/QUOTE]
