Has Nikon stated it somewhere or not ? I need read speed for video workflow .. most cards are fast enough for the write part for me.

If you're using Active D-Lighting, ISO Auto Sensitivity Control, either form of noise reduction, ISO above 3200, or Image Authentication, you're going to reduce buffer depth. <P>See the chart in the manual on p. 402, and especially the notes on p. 403, for details.

I can only get 13-15 frames before it freeze. This is about the same as my D700. In crop mode on my D2X I can get between 24-26 frames before if stops, but I've never been happy with the loss in quality doing this. I shoot Raw and Small Jpeg. The reason I want a reasonable burst is that I use Proshow Gold for wedding proofs and add a little chapter called Movie Extras (confeti, b&g walking, dancing etc.) This goes down well but you need at least 24 frames to make it look reasonable. FYI each photo is on screen for only0.20 seconds with 0.00 transition time between each frame. Also, I have heard various stories about Transcend reliability. Do you have any info on that. I use a mix if Sandisk, Lexar and I-Pro 4gb cards and have had no reliability issues so far. The only thing I have ever had fail on me was a Microdrive - just after I'd finished downloading the pics. I know you haven't tested the 16gb card, but would you expect any difference in wright times? Regards How many frames do you manage get in a burst before the buffer fills up on the D300?

Not much point in using a program designed to benchmark hard drives on a computer to see what a card will do when shooting photos. That's one of the problems I have with a number of so-called "test" sites.
