|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Problem with CF cards Harvey Levine, Photographer Harrisburg | PA | | Posted: 5:08 PM on 07.07.09 ->> I have been using the San Disk Extreme IV cards as well as the Ducati versions. I shoot a number of charity bike ride events and when I do so, I often shoot long bursts. When I use the San Disk 4 gig cards, often it takes forever for the buffer to reset and for the images to write to the card. When I put in my Lexar 2 gig card this doesn't happen and the buffer resets immediately. These cards are supposed to be the same speed. Any ides on what's going on here?  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

There were a lot of deliberately mislabled CF cards on the market at one time, and here is a link to some information about this: http://tinyurl.com/pphfh http://martybugs.net/articles/fakesandisk.cgi . . . and a brief reference to this at the bottom of the page on this link: http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/multi_page.asp?cid=6007  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I bought my cards from a very reputable store in Philly where I know the owner.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Some cameras simply perform better with Lexar vs. Sandisk and vice-versa... http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/multi_page.asp?cid=6007  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I would suggest contacting Sandisk and asking them, they are pretty good with returns (I had a couple of Extreme's go bad 2 years after I bought 'em and they took 'em back no questions asked)  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

However, I will call Sandisk.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh? (0) | Off Topic (0) | Inappropriate (0) |   Definitions Add your comments...
