Affordable High Performance early Class 10 SDHC Card

by T. Cramer (December 15, 2010)

This is one of the first Class 10 SD cards that is actually affordable and doesn't cost much more than Class 6 cards. At regular price it can be a bit expensive, but catch a sale and it's a great deal.

Performance wise the card is great. I have tried it on 3 separate devices, all of which take HD video. The first was a Panasonic Lumix point and shoot camera. Set to take 720p 30fps video, the recording start and stop times were noticeably faster than my previous Class 6 card. When I performed a Delete all content, this card cleared a bit quicker than before. I also used the card in a Canon T1i and there was no lag for shooting both 720p and full HD video. With a previous Class 6 card it worked well, but occasionally there would be a hiccup in recording, especially full HD. The last was a HD pocket camcorder and again, no issues as recording was smooth and starting and stopping was instant.

Download performance is also improved with this card. I would say... Read more

Writing perfermance is not as fast as advertised but it's a keeper

I bought this card just to give PNY a try since Amazon lowered the price again. I also have the popular Transcend 16GB class 10 so I decided to do a quick test. I did read and write test with a full DVD ripped movie which is about 5.58GB and has combination of large and small files.
Test setup:
- Ripped full DVD 5.58GB
- Intel workstation, dual quadcore Cpus
- External USB card reader.
- Stop watch
- 64bit Windows 7 ultimate

My result

Writing test:
PNY............Transcend
14.2MB/s......17MB/s (Speed reported by windows)
7:00 mins.....5:45 mins (stopwatch)

Reading test:
PNY............Transcend
19MB/s........19.2MB/s (Speed reported by windows)
5:19 mins.....5:18:55 mins (stopwatch)

So far the Transcend beat the PNY in writing test.
I put both cards in my Canon 60D, both started slowing down after 20 frames, frame size is M-Raw. I also noticed the time to clear out the... Read more

No Speed demon, works like a Class 6 card

by Tampa Dave (March 23, 2011)

I purchased this product based on the review here. It is not the speed demon I thought it should be as a "class 10." Overall, I think this card is just as good as my Transcend 8GB class 6. I tested these 2 cards on my Canon T1i using continuous shooting in both RAW+jpeg, and Large Jpeg. I then timed how long it took these shots to write to the card before it "recovered" and readied for the next shots. These are the underwhelming results:

The 8GB size is recommended by Canon for my camera. Good enough for 254 of the largest RAW+Jpeg photos. Larger capacity should work fine also.

Transcend 8gb, Class 6:
RAW+Jpeg: 5-6 shots, 10-15 seconds recovery respectively
Large Jpeg: 33 shots, 10-11 seconds recovery

PNY 8gb, Class 10:
RAW+Jpeg: 5-6 shots, 14-20 seconds recovery respectively
Large Jpeg: 38-49 shots, 15-17 seconds recovery respectively

I am not in need of continuous shooting. After 4000 photos on my... Read more
