Hi all. As MikeO notes below (thanks MikeO!), there are already a number of media performance
comparisions available online, some of which were based on performance in a 5050
But after perusing those sites and threads, I did not end up with any info that would help select
between the various 512MB and 1GB cards.
Also, as uw snappers, we are constrained by battery life - and there do not seem to be any benchmarks
of power consumption (just mfr specs)
Various media rank differently in different camera's, as noted by James in another WP thread (thanks
James!). This is most appearant in the RobGalbraith site, which benchmarked media across DSLRs
... so it seems imperative to benchmark the media in a 5050.
The available online comparisions (see MikeO's link below) benchmark the media in 5050's, concentrating
on small cards. But these days, 512MB cards can be had for under $100, and 1GB for just under $200
if one makes use of current $50 and $75/80 rebates.
so....
I'm taking requests and looking for advice on running comparision tests of media performance
in a 5050 and under linux as pen drives.
tests will include half a dozen 512MB and 1GB CF cards, a few smaller CFs, a few SMs and an xD.
I'm looking for requests and advice on test protocols.
Cheers,
Mike
