Hmm these are Extreme III 2GB? I'm thinking of picking up a couple of those. Good to know that they work. I can't say I've heard any specifics of SD cards not working in certain cameras... though a friend of mine had major problems with Ridata CF cards in his K/M A2.. apparently a widespread issue. i think it worked, but was just mind-numbingly slow (made the *istD look fast :) I've had no issues with my older Ridata 1GB 66x card in the K10D. I'd also be interested in hearing any speed comparisons between cards... I just did some rough timing test on mine; took a whack of PEFs in manual, MF (about 21 I think), timed from the orange light going on to going off, then checked the total file size... It wrote 139MB in 22 sec, so roughly 6.3MB/sec. I am tossing up between Sandisk Extreme III or Ridata 150x (which are a bit cheaper). Looking at Rob Galbraith's tests, the Extreme III seems to be about the best, though as always speeds vary wildly between cameras. No K10D tests, of course... I'm guessing it'll be similar speeds to a D80 perhaps. - Peter Loveday -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
