Hi Yucel-
We were using Raw + Fine jpg.
We’re sure that other UHS-1 cards may have similar results. We were using non UHS -1 cards for speed comparison as opposed to another UHS-1 which was not available at the time. Point being, use the fastest card you can if it makes sense to your shooting and wallet.
cheers!

Not sure what image format you were using, sounds like some form of JPG, in full res RAW, the D7000 memory buffer fills up after 10 shots, the Delkins will clear this buffer faster than Class 10 cards like the Sandisk Ultras.

Tests were run.

There is no difference in effective speed between Sandisk Extreme Pro UHS-1 cards and the Delkin product. Delkin implied the difference was due to D7000 camera bus speed limitations.

While the memory buffers fill up and empty at same rates with both these cards, these cards empty the buffers faster than Ultras. The Sandisk Extreme Pros are a fraction of the Delkin price for NO preformance increase on D7000 bodies.

The faster the better! Waiting for my FCs to download to my computer is always a drag! Does Secure Digital make super fast Compact Flas Cards? That’s what my Nikons use.
