Kay 3,709 Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 I just want to know what a high speed SD card is the one i currently use is 2 gb & is enough for what i use so what would a high speed one do for myy camera will it improve image quality or is it just that i can take more photos on the camera without it filling so quickly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stealthy1 3,964 Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 You know when you use rapid shoot and it takes ages to down load the images to your camera, well they claim that the high speed cards do it faster, also supposed to down load faster to your computer.

Oh i understand now , so basically it will be of benefit if you shoot lots on continious mode Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keeps 403 Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Did you get a new camera Kay? The high speed SD cards "write" faster to the card so you can take a quicker succession of pics without waiting for the usual lag for the information to be written to the card - works particularly well for raw pics which are larger and so normally take a bit longer. I am not sure of the benefits of using one with a compact camera but it should work in the same way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

donky7 9 Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 yer, if you have a fast cam with a basic card you wont benefit........ my new cam does 6.5 frames per sec, so not to get stuck in traffic, i need a fast card. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
