Those are Windows utilities, Shel, and say nothing about in-camera write speed.

On Mac OS X, you can check IO throughput from card to computer by running the Activity Monitor application and looking at disk activity. Fill a card to test and then do a copy with the Finder from card to hard drive. Activity Monitor will tell you precisely the read and write rates, with about a 1 second sample time. I usually want to test with a card that's at least half full so as to give sufficient sample time.

I have both a cheapie Kingston 1GB SD card and a 133x Kingston 1GB card -- the 133x is very obviously faster by a really significant amount in the DS2. Do you have a suggested method of comparison that I can try
out?
