[T] Although interesting, (and I might try some similar tests) I was not suggesting that different sizes of SM were faster / slower but more that maybe that my DX10 was having difficulty managing above a certian size, possibly down to low cpu power or summat? Likewise both a mate and I can't access 2M cards on our PC SM readers but they read in the cameras (she exchanged her card with the same result?) > > > - Raymond Cheers Ray ..
