    I have a couple of SD cards,
    1 "normal" (no high speed) Kingston 2GB
    1 Transcend 150x 2 GB
    1 Silicon Power 80x 2GB (don't ask me why I bought this, I didn't it came as a free gift with the camera I bought !!)

    The normal Kingston is faster than the 80X silicon power. Does this mean that this Silicon Power is a fake ? I have had a couple of fake Sandisks in the past (without knowing, but of course they were cheap on ebay ) which have stopped working.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital_card

    on this page it says speeds are in multiples of 150kB/s
    so 80x would mean 12 MB/s ?? the photos I take are about 3 MB each, so you would think the silicon power wouldn't have any problems taking a couples in burst mode ? But after 4-5 photos there is a big delay between each other photo.

    With my normal Kingston, the burst is continuous, I can take photos until the card is full !! Anyone know why ?
