Steve, sorry to be hypocritical... ...but we had a lenghty discussion on write speed in August. Message 14242032 Personally I believe the camera manufacturers are going to need to do more about processing time and SRAM buffers. Uncompressed TIFF's will always be problematic. I don't think we disagree that there still is progress that the camera and card manufacturers need to make. It is just that I think you are overstating the case and using a relatively extreme example. The second time you presented it wasn't any less extreme than the first. BTW, SanDisk got tagged for a speed comparison chart a while back, so I am not terribly optimistic that they will be drawing any attention to this matter, especially as it relates to a certain flash card competitor.

Steve, You have championed the speed movement. Message 14198466 I trust SanDisk is listening to your commentary. If you look at one of the recent press releases related to FlashVision you will see that write speed was commented on as it relates to the higher density NAND flash coming on line. I suspect your posts have not gone unseen. You may or may not believe me when I say I appreciate your dogged pursuit of the write speed issue. At one point I was very concerned about it myself. I believe it may be an issue down the road, but I am less concerned about it currently and believe that it probably doesn't factor much into consumer purchases at this point. Have you made any further progress in your discussion with SNDK? Keep us updated. Ausdauer@I'mmellowinginmyoldage.com
