Fujifilm FinePix X100 SD Card Speeds
There is going to be a lot of talk about the "speed" of the X100 while writing to the SD card. The camera allows you to keep shooting while it writes to the card - but the menu functions and any adjustments are frozen until the image is done writing to the SD card. So with that in mind photographers may want to take a look at what speed their SD card is rated at. I just did a quick test with my camera while recording RAW+JPEG Fine and the speed was at least 25% faster with the Class 6 over Class 2. I found this chart online so I assume it's close to accurate and of course a decent overview. I had to break out my loupe to see the class markings on some of the cards!

I bought SanDisk Extreme Pro 16GB 45MB/s (don't know what Class that is; I found number 1 on it :D). Does anybody used that fast cards on X100?

ReplyDeletewell.. one RAW in 2.7sec
I recommend a UHS-I card; I found class 10 cards too slow when using RAW with the X100.

ReplyDeleteThat was a blog post about my discussion on Flickr; LOL the X100 world is very small.

ReplyDeletehehehe yes indeed :)
I start to really like the X100 community (the real one, not the so many haters that thinks the camera will make photos for them )
Soon there is a 95mb/s UHS-I from Delkin coming out. Will be interesting to see if X100 works with it, and what the time goes down to.
