You see, I have opted to buy an off-brand card because we don't seem to have 150x brand name cards here. The fastest SanDisk we have is 133x. And since Godfrey (just a reference, no offense, pun or anything but the reference intended) reported that K10D was very fast with the cards, I decided to try to buy the fastest I could. I may have made a wrong decision. I only do hope that this card cannot break the card port of the camera.
