Look like the 5D is the limiting factor - not fast enough to benefit
from the faster cards. And 6.5MB/s is actually quite slow, given that
there are DSLRs which have write speeds of 10MB/s.

don't forget the transfer times to a computer - the sandisk iv is
significantly faster than anything else.

Actually, Alf, it isn't just the 5D. Canons in general aren't set up to
take advantage of high speed cards. The Nikons, for example, pull about 2
mb/sec more out of the same cards.

Not a huge difference here on a Lexar Pro card reader the Extreme IV
was 16.2 mmb/sec the Extreme III 16.1 mb/sec. This vs 11.5 for a
SanDisk "standard" 10.9 for a SanDisk Extreme (no #) and 16.3 for a
Ridata 150 (all 2gb cards).

on a firewire 800 reader, it reaches 38 mb/sec (lower right corner of
the chart). that's quite a bit faster.

Yeah an little over twice the speed, with a Lacie reader a 2gb Extreme
III takes about 2min to empty, would 1 min be better, sure but I won't
loose sleep over it. Just pulled a mid-high range reader off the list.

Thank you Alf. That doesn't change what I said, now, does it?
You're becoming more of an Oly fanboy than any Canon aficionado you've ever
castigated.
