SDHC performance test using Nikon D80

The data below was derived by timing how long it took the Nikon D80 to write out 6 RAW images using "continuous shooting" mode.

Timing commenced when the camera's card status light illuminated, and stopped when the light went out. All cards were formatted in the camera prior to testing.

Testing Environment:
Nikon D80

Testing Results:

Panasonic SDHC Class 2: 12 seconds
Toshiba SDHC Class 4: 15 seconds
Transcend SDHC Class 6: 12 seconds
ATP ProMax SDHC Class 6: 8 seconds

To CoconutJoe1 :

I guess you got a fake Panasonic SDHC card.

Hello! I have a little problem, in my d80 i select the continous shooting mode, but the speed (supposed to be 3 shots per second) its not even close, i mean that it doesnt matter what shutter speed i select (125 to 4000) it takes the exact amount of time taking it! Im not sure if its the SDHC card, I have the Panasonic SDHC Class 4 4gb card! Can u please tell me what might be the problem? by the way, the time it processes this images is like instantly! so im not sure what is wrong...

Well, it has something to do with the Panasonic card you have. I guess it's a fake Panasonic card from China.

I guess your Panasonic card is a fake one.

Worrying about shutter life is stupid. Seeing that the D80 shutter lasts about 50000 cycles I don't think a few shots will matter.

Get out and shoot and forget about the shutter. When it dies, it dies and then you can just buy a new body.

@CoconutJoe1 actually this might be 2 years to late but ya need to turn off your auto focus or keep it on an object where your autfocus does not readjust
