Patrick, No, I said that's what I got when I tried it with a 150x card I purchased at Fry's for under $35 after rebate.
Here's the latest just for you... I dug out the oldest SD card I could find, 1+ years old, cheap, & a 1 meg card borrowed from the Optio SV. Ran off 10 shots in a row, DNG's of 16,490 to 16,516 KB before the buffer filled. Ran off 8 shots in a row, PEF's of 8,210 to 8,281 KB before the buffer filled. Ran off 6 shots in a row, PEF's + JPG's before the buffer filled. PEF's were 8,094 to 8,236 KB. JPG's were 1,352 to 1,413 KB. Ran off 8 shots in a row, DNG's + JPG's before the buffer filled. DGN's were 16,710 to 16,570 KB. JPG's were 1,474 to 1,587 KB. My quick and dirty learnings? It does take a little bit more resources to write out DGN or PEF + JPG's. Don't worry about SD card speed. I can't prove any difference in results right now. Regards, Bob S.
