You're entitled to your opinion, but I don't think 18% RAW/12% JPEG improvement is "so little". Two digit percentage improvements I would deem to be significant even in a conservative evaluation. It demonstrates that the 150x card is probably close to the fastest card that will make a significant improvement in the K10D's performance, but I don't know of any faster ones to test against just yet. I would expect, given these numbers, that a 300x card would likely see the very small, single digit percentage improvement similar to the 60x vs 150x for the DS model. With 2G capacity 150x cards costing only around $43, and 45x cards costing $32, whether they're overkill or not is of little practical importance anyway. ;-) Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
