Title: New fast SanDisk CF card good enough for RAW?
Post by: Mih007- on November 08, 2013, 01:44:19 PM
Hi
Yesterday in the store, I've been told about a brand new Sandisk CF Card.

Card is very fast and it seems to be very cheap (126$ for 32GB).
So my question is would that be enough for RAW Video?

Also I found even faster sandisk cards on the web.

Did some of you handle this cards? Are they better, or the same compared to lexar (1000x) ?
Please help me cause I am about to buy some of these.

What camera are you planning on using these with? That's a bit of critical information that you're really missing in your post.

I would stick with 1000X personally, these are 800X.

Go for at least a 1000X cf card.

I have sandisk extreme pro 600x UDMA7 90MB/s (32GB), using it with 5d3 and it handles raw at 1920x1080p 25fps continously (about 88MB/s) and about 20 sec of 30fps. The card you've shown is 800x so it should be faster than that.

Sandisks 600x UDMA7 is only slightly slower than my KB 1000x 64GB (KB gives more frames at 30fps).

Yes sorry about that. Totally forgot about my camera. I have 5D mk3.
Ok so I won't be take that risk and I stay with at least 1000x.
But what about that next  SanDisk card I've post? Card very fast and it's more available for me (I'm from Poland). Would this one be good?
