*ist-Ds Vs. K10D image quality?

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

Sandisk standard SD cards are 45x rating. Ultra II models (they're  
clearly labeled) are 60x and Extreme III models (again clearly  
labeled) are 133x.

For someone who who had an issue with camera speed at one time in the  
past, it seems a little incongruous that you didn't buy a card to  
exploit the speed of the K10D. With a Sandisk Ultra II card,  
capturing in RAW/DNG will write almost literally as fast as you can  
press the shutter release for individual exposures. An Extreme IIi is  
even faster.

Write performance tests of Transcend 45x, Sandisk Ultre II and  
Transcend 150x.

Extreme III is faster than Transcend 150x.
