Sam, your card should be fine. That is strange that you are only getting 8Mb/s in the camera. I have a pny (I believe) 35Mb/s card from some retail chain store (best buy, walmart, I forget...) and it usually getting around 19.5Mb/s. (by the way, don't expect much more than that. If you do switch brands, you don't necessarily have to get anything that is extremely fast as the camera can't output that fast. I assume you have the 550d.
Yes I have a Canon 550D, with a 18-200mm lens.
Yeah seems like it might be a dud card.
It is only doing 6MB/s write in the reader in my iMac.
I have a warranty claim in the SanDisk and they are being pretty helpful.
But now I know how easy it is I am starting to watch the price of a 50D on ebay.
One thing i am interested about is does the EXIF or meta data come across with a RAW recording into the DNG files.
It would be nice to know focal lengths and stuff (ISO, EV etc) of the end images, which could help with turnover of footage, otherwise you are going to need some pretty accurate pen and paper records while you shoot.
