SDHC Test (Sandisk/IOdata/Toshiba/Panasonic/Transcend/ATP)

Testing Results:
Sandisk SDHC Class 2: 17.82 seconds
IO Data SDHC Class 2: 11.09 seconds
Toshiba SDHC Class 4: 15.01 seconds
Panasonic SDHC Class 2: 11.40 seconds
Transcend SDHC Class 6: 11.25 seconds
ATP ProMax SDHC Class 6: 8.50 seconds

Testing Method:
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.

Hi! DJBFilmz, Class 6 means the minimum data transfer rate is 6MB/Sec, but faster Class6 SDHC is usually faster than 6 MB/S. >>Or will it make your video look crappy if you buy a class 6 rather than a class 10? If you are recording FullHD video with less compression, which means really huge file size per second, if you use slow cards, your recorded video might drop frames, which might make your video look bad.

I'm not quite sure why you are comparing cards of different classes... that's like apples and oranges isn't it? It would be nice to see different branded cards of the same class in a comparison test. Then we will know if we are getting value for money.

In the absence of clear read/write speeds from manufacturers I think your simple but consistent test is excellent.

Thank you very much :)

So.. it means that this SDHC Test tries to say that SanDisk cards are better than the rest?

yeah, jackson45, but it's still much cheaper on eBay, just take a look on this one:
