Re: Question for photographers

Thanks, Barb -- on further research I came to basically the same
conclusion. This camera is supposed to "recover" in about 0.9
seconds, and I think the fast card will make the difference.

The speed affects how quickly the camera records the image so that the next
picture can be taken. The slower the card the longer the time before you
can take another picture. This can be critical in some situations. I did
notice the difference when I bought a faster card. Of course the faster
card costs more. The frustrating part about digital can be that
delay--which is significant even with a fast card. Most of the time it may
not matter, but sometimes it does!

I just purchased a Casio Exilim Z500 camera. It uses SD memory and
doesn't come with a card, so I'm in the market for a 1 GB card. The
owner's manual recommends a maximum transfer speed of no less than 10
MB/sec. There are cards of varying types and prices, and I'm not sure
how important this transfer speed is. I found a good deal on a card
that is rated for 9-10 MB/sec (read and write). Can anyone explain to
me what the card speed affects and how important it is? (Normally I'd
trust the owner's manual, but my Acura manual says to use only Premium
gas, and I've always used the middle grade until about 6 months ago
when I switched to regular, and I notice no ill effect. So, so much
for the owner's manual.) Thanks for any help or suggestions.
