This information has been unbelievably difficult to find. Maybe my Google-Fu is weak today, I don't know. This information wasn't even found at Steve's Digicams, surprisingly.
At what speed can my camera write data to a memory card? Or in other words, what is the fastest card I need to buy before it out paces my camera? (In MB/s)
My camera is the Pentax K10, but that doesn't matter; I'm curious to know the numbers for all of the similarly-classed bodies. Some people claim the number can be derived by multiplying the size of a photo by the frames per second, but this is incorrect because the camera slows down after the buffer fills up. After it fills up(or ignoring the buffer altogether), what is the maximum rate a camera records to the card?
