I recently bought two new Lexar 1000x 150 mb/s - 95 mb/s(write) cards. I had(still have) two SD CF Extreme pro 95 mb/s. (45 mb/s) cards. I wanted to see if there was much difference between the two when shooting action.
I did a simple high speed FPS test between two CF cards on a 5d3 to see how many shots could be taken before the high speed continuous shooting slowed down....shooting large RAW, one CF card in the camera.
Result...There was no difference between the two cards for 6fps burst shooting... I fired continuously until each started to slow/stutter....it happened at about 30 total shots for each.
I will note that when downloading to the computer, the Lexar was much faster.
Just an observation....hopefully this helps someone with their buying decision when looking to upgrade cards.
