Sandisk Memory Cards

[Kayaker72]

Dr. Croubie....I like your results and I think they highlight one of the things I've learned doing the testing. I think the burst number of shots shown in the viewfinder only reflects the images that can be written to the buffer but does not account for images being cleared from the buffer during shooting. In otherwords, the number of shots you can take until the buffer is full is the buffer size/image size + write rate * time/image size, or, for the 7D, the 15 Images the viewfinder says plus the extra 7-8 images that can be written in 3 seconds of shooting (with a fast enough card) equals the 22-24 burst images we've seen in our test results.

Speaking of the test results, I wanted to summarize those that were conducted using the same methodology and I assume John/Neuro will repost his table....



Rick and Rich, please let me know if you would like me to modify in any way....

Thanks,
Brant
