Canon 6d burst
Jun 23, 2014 00:35:55 #
My canon 6d seems to take a long time to catch up when I use continuous shooting. I'm shooting raw. What is your experience?

What card are you using, specifically. The card's write speed can be a factor in this.

The SanDisk 16GB SDHC Memory Card Class 4 has a write speed of 15MB/s, according to the B&H web site (SanDisk doesn't even list the speed). If your raw files are not compressed, the files are probably around 40-50MB. If you take a burst of 10 shots, you will need about 30sec to empty the buffer.
I don't actually believe the write speed is even that high, since the SanDisk 16GB SDHC Memory Card Ultra Class 10 UHS-1 has a 10MB/s write speed, 30MB/s read speed, and it is a better card.

Shooting RAW only Canon shows the maximum burst as 17 shots for the 6D. If you are not getting that then it is probably your card.

The Lexar 32GB Professional 1066x or the SanDisk 32GB Extreme Pro (160MB/s) are both very good, with read and write speeds around 150MB/s.

George, what you need to do is look in your manual.
Whatever is recommended is what will get the job done.
If you use the recommended card speed, the bottle bottle neck is the camera and NOT the card. A faster card is largely just a waste of money at the camera. Maybe it will help with downloads to the computer, but not the camera.
The camera can only write so fast. to get a larger faster buffer, you need a larger faster camera, not card.
The spec given by Canon is what the camera is engineered to do and you aren't gonna sup it up with a card. Sorry
Again, check your manual and good luck. :wink:
