I'm a total noob. What is this buffer size change?
If you change the photo quality to jpeg s from raw you get more buffer "space", therefore you can record a little bit longer.

sennn, what card did you bought? how many frames can you get in different resolutions?
Transcend 32 GB 1000x, at 1880x800 I can record until the card fills without skipping frames (or atleast assuming, never recorded that long yet, but buffer is max 3-4 stars even after 2500 frames) at 1880x1050 i can get around 200-220 with the jpeg quality buffer size change, about 160 with raw.

Finally got around and bought a 1000x card so here is a small test shooting some flood scenes in Budapest.



Everything was done in after effects + camera raw when importing the sequances, I still need to figure out a lot of things with this workflow but so far I'm happy with the results.

Why not Komputerbay CF? Check Amazon or Ebay. Many people here use them with great success. Just don't get the 128gb version...doesn't seem to perform so well.

was thinking about them but not quite sure about those, as a lot of people also have problems with them and I don't really want to send it back multiple times and pay the price of an another card in post services.

Hi guys!

I'm wanna a get a new card for recording RAW, as my current kingston 600x is far from even being a 600x, but i'm not sure which should I get, I'm not on the biggest budget so that's also a problem. Sadly I have no way of getting Lexars without paying 3-4x of the USA price so those are out of the question.

I have "gathered" 3 cards:
- Transcend 32 GB 1000x (as far as I read on the forums these perform great but also they are the most expensive)
- SanDisk Extreme Pro 16 GB (not sure about those, seen some people using it butcan they hold up 1880x1050 or x800 without dropping frames?)
- Silicon Power 16 GB 1000x (never heard from them before, and can't find any reviews for it, not sure if there is anyone on the forums who have used it before, but you never know)

Which one would you guys advice? I guess the transcend would be the best, but also the most expensive, so if the sandisk can hold up i would rather much choose that.

Thanks in advance

I would suggest looking at 32Gb cards, as most 16Gbs tends to be slower.
I'm also thinking about getting fast CF right now and best bets seem to be Transcend 1000x 32Gb or Komputerbay 1000x 64Gb (btw both are available on eBay)
Thanks, I guess it's time to start saving up then. :/

Hello guys!

I have a question about cards, currently I use a kingston ultimate 16 gb 600x, which gives me about 22mb/s write speed, therefore i can only record about 80-100 frames in 1880x710 which is to be honest not a lot, so I'm looking for a new card to buy.
Sadly I live in hungary so I have access to Lexar 1000x cards which would the perfect choise, and even the smaller ones cost 2-3x price of the USD price (the 16 gb 600x ones cost about 300$).
I'm currently looking at the sandisk 16 gb extreme pro 90mb/s which I have seen a lot of you are using and the silicon power 1000x 16 gb, which I have no benchmarks but in theory it's udma 7 with 150mb/s.
Which would be the better choise, or what could i get in the same price range?
Thanks
