It says "up to" 30MB/s 200x - 16-21MB/s is not even close to "up to." The SanDisk Extreme Pro 8GB claims "Up to 95MB/s read and 90MB/s write speeds" One reviewer on amazon has added pictures of benchmarks: write 86.35MB/s read 94.17MB/s which is quite impressive and more closer to the claims. I...

I know that Class 10 means 10MB/sec guaranteed, but why would Sandisk advertise 30MB/s if it didn't do 30MB/s? I will have to contact Sandisk and hear what they have to say. I think your conclusion is correct, any USB2 card reader is limited to below the 30MB/s ceiling. It looks like I might...

It was "Sold by: Amazon's Jersey Merchant, Indigostarfish.com" Mine didn't come in an original cardboard packaging just a clear plastic SD protection card case in a padded envelope. Indigostarfish.com does not appear on the list of authorized SanDisk resellers, but that may not mean much. The...

I got the SanDisk Extreme 30MB/sec Secure Digital Card (SDHC) CLASS 10 - 8GB which is supposed to give me 30MB/sec but according to h2testw_1.4 it's ~16MB/sec and CrystalDiskMark3_0_1b read 20MB/sec (I repeated the tests at least three times on both apps.) The card was bought from...

I can't access the classifieds: "Olphus, you do not have permission to access this page." "Is this the model that Mifsuds have for £569?" Yes, thanks best deal also...I'll go for that one:)

Ah, that's the OS version I'm looking for the non-OS one. The only one I can find right now is http://www.onestop-digital.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=33753 but it's from HK and I'm not so sure how the warranty issue would work out. Amazon used to sell it about half a year...

I can't find a trustwothy place to buy the Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 II EX HSM Lens. Amazon uk isn't selling it and the 3rd party vendors are all German, it has to be UK stock for warranty purposes. Any suggestions cause I can't find any:)

Why have prices gone up so dramatically on HDDs?? I bought a Samsung F3 HD103SJ £40 last year and now it sells for £179 in many places??

Thanks, I checked it out but I'm not sure how that works. Does he have an online store? Is it UK stock and would Canon take it in for repairs if it malfunctioned?

I want to buy the Canon 580EX II from amazon.uk which goes for £360 and noticed that two other stores (fulfilled by amazon) are selling them for £320. I usually buy from amazon exclusively to avoid any hassle but £40 is a substantial saving, at least to me. My concern is with the warranty...

I guess I'll go with the eneloops and try the uniross at a later date. I've also heard of all the rebranding but it's still hard to tell in the end. Another question though, I have a 30 minute Duracell charger, would it affect the batteries negativelly? Any suggestions on good chargers? Is this...

I'm thinking of buying the Yongnuo YN-560 and need rechargeable batteries. The eneloops are very common but how about the uniross (HYBRIO) , which one is more suitable for flash in terms of recycling time, heat, holding a charge etc.? Is a higher mAh better? Is 2100mAh better or worse than...
