Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Kingston 8 GB Class 6 SDHC Flash Memory Card SD6/8GB
Customer Review: Very slow for a class 6 card
Summary: 2 Stars
The reason I purchased the 8 GB version of this Kingston class 6 card is because my existing 4 GB Sandisk Extreme III series 4 GB card used to get quickly full with RAW images (from my Canon Xsi DSLR).
The good:
1) It works.
The bad:
1) It is very slow (compared to what I've been used to - the sandisk card mentioned above). Here is a test I carried out: I placed the camera in burst mode and quickly took 6 burst RAW images. After the sixth image was taken, I started the stopwatch to see how long the camera took to write all the images to the card. This "write-time" is important since I cannot burst 6 more images till all the six previous images have been written to the card.
Here are the timings for the two cards:
1) Sandisk Extreme III class 6 4GB -- 2.4 seconds
2) This card (Kingston 8 GB class 6) -- 12.8 seconds
Whoa!! that is hell of a difference. I wish I had known this card is so slow, i would have paid a few bucks more and gone with the sandisk 8gb card.
I would have given this card 1 star, but since it works, I'm giving it two stars. The reason I believe that this card does not deserve three stars or higher is because the whole idea of people buying a class 6 card is performance, and this card does a very poor job there.
Hope this review helps!!
