I know there has been a lot of discussion about memory cards with the 5DS/5DSR and that the top compact flash cards can take more photos continuously before slowing down.
However I have a slightly different question. About the only thing I dislike about the camera is the delay after taking an image before getting the image review on the screen. I suppose it's not a huge length of time really but it's clearly slower than the 5DIII and I am sure part of it is down to the huge files but suspect part of it is down to me using slower cards.
The fastest SD cards I have are Sandisk Extreme 90MB/s and my fastest compact flash is another sandisk rated at 60MB/s.
So I wonder if anyone here who has this camera and some fast cards could tell me if things improve in this regard with the newer fast 160MB/s compact flash cards? I believe the camera only has the slower SD card slot so that's likely a no go. But I need a new memory card and trying to work out whether to spend the extra on a faster compact flash - if it makes image review come up quicker (I realise it will if I shoot 50 frames in a row, I'm meaning more in the day to day, shooting one or maybe 3 or 4 shots at a time) then I'll go for the latest SanDisk CF which is 160MB/s.
I feel this is an absurdly specific question for me to ask so I'm sorry but I can't find the answer online and would prefer to know before spending the money as the fast CF cards are expensive - I guess the format has been given another lease of life by the 5DIV sticking with CF so maybe demand is high for fast cards for 4K etc.
