Hi all,
I own 2 Delkin Memory cards, and am planning on getting a third.
I ran into issues with the 256gb card while photographing a great gray owl in that it would hit the buffer quickly; after just 20 shots on the burst, it would slow down. They took the cards back and sent me two idential ones, and they do seem a bit better.
However in talking to a camera shop owner, Mark Comon of Pauls, he wrote me saying Delkin thought the 256gb would be fine with the Z9, but that particular one wasn't able to keep up as good, so they came out with the 325gb one which is the latest one, and much faster. Just curious what folks think who shoot Delkin: if you've used these is there a noticable improvement in the slightly larger, newer card?
I'll be getting the third card for my Z8; right now I have a Sony CF Express card in it, and it does hit the buffer after 20 too and is even a little slower than the Delkin. I'm not expecting full uninterrupted shooting for 100 shots, but speed matters with birds, and I'd use the older Delkin cards as my second slot card on the Z9 and in the Z8 with the Sony as the 4th card in case of need.
Mark is great as he said before I bought the new card to write Delkin. I did, and they sent me the replacment cards (though I wish they would have sent me a 325), and I know he's not just trying to sell me a card. I could use it, so figure it may be the best option for bird photography.
Thanks,
Paul
