Lexar Professional 64GB 400X SDXC Card Speed in Fuji X-Pro1
B&H Photo sent me a Lexar Professional 64GB 400X SDXC card for evaluation.
I tested the 64GB card against Lexar Professional 32GB 133X SDHC card for speed in the Fuji X-Pro1.
The Fuji X-Pro1 was set for high frame rate mode, and popped off a full 23 frames in RAW + Fine mode, plus a latent 24th frame also, after I lifted my finger. Each image was about ~33 MB of data for the RAW + JPEG.
Times are how long the camera buffer took to clear (write all images to the card). The 400X card cut the buffer-clear time in half.
Lexar Pro 64GB 400X SDXC: 26 seconds
Lexar Pro 32GB 133X SDHC: 50 seconds
But Lexar also makes a 600X 64GB SDXC card, and so now I’m wondering if it is even faster than the 400X card. View the Lexar Professional SDXC cards.
I’ll be sticking to the 400X or 600X cards now that I’ve seen these results, and I’m curious to test in the Nikon D800E once mine arrives.
