 Rob Galbraith gives SanDisk card best ranking : SanDisk Extreme flash memory cards swept performance ratings in seven of the current top professional-level digital single lens reflex cameras from manufactures; Canon and Nikon, according to the latest Flash memory card test conducted by Rob Galbraith, renowned imaging consultant, digital photography trainer and photojournalist. The SanDisk Extreme CompactFlash and Secure Digital memory cards outperformed all competitors in the tests. Rob Galbraith, who offers the results on his photography website, tested multiple memory brands, models and capacities of flash memory cards with each digital SLR camera to determine the fastest write times.

He measured speeds involving both JPEG and RAW images and, in six digital camera models that use Compact Flash cards, the SanDisk Extreme Ducati CompactFlash Card took the top honors. Named after Ducati Corse, the Italian manufacturer of high-performance motorcycles, the SanDisk Ducati line was introduced last summer and is the fastest CompactFlash card that SanDisk produces.

“These results from a prestigious independent imaging lab not only validate SanDisk’s Extreme cards as the best performing memory cards, but also clearly demonstrate that there are measurable speed differences between brands,” said Susan Park, director of consumer product marketing for SanDisk’s performance cards. “Also, the tests show that the new DSLR cameras are achieving higher processing speeds, which means that consumers are more likely to capture a candid moment or a fast-moving subject if they use a card with optimal write performance.”
