Best memory cards tested and rated

SanDisk Ultra 30Mb/s CF

Price: £29

Buy it: www.sandisk.co.uk

The SanDisk Ultra offers reasonable performance and is cheaper than some cards that are only slightly faster. The highest capacity is only 16Gb, but this is plenty for lower-resolution cameras like the D300s, where it’s a great value choice.

Score: 3/5

Kingston Ultimate 600x CF

Price: £28

Buy it: www.kingston.com

The fastest card on test for write speed in a Nikon D800, the Kingston Ultimate 600x beats even the Lexar 1000x, although it’s a bit slower than the Lexar for downloading files to a computer via a USB 3.0 reader. It’s also outstanding value.

Score: 5/5

Lexar Professional 1000x CF

Price: £71

Buy it: www.lexar.com

The 1000x has good write speed, both in-camera and via a card reader. For USB 3.0 read speed, it’s the fastest card here. It’s also the most expensive per Gb and, considering that many other cards write data faster, it’s not the best value.

Score: 4/5

Integral Ultima Pro UHS-1 95Mb/s SDHC

Price: £29

Buy it: www.integralmemory.com

The 32Gb Integral card offers great performance. Bear in mind that the 95Mb/s rating is only for read speeds. The claimed maximum write speed is 45Mb/s, but overall, it’s excellent value.

Score: 4/5

SanDisk Extreme Pro UHS-1 45Mb/s SDHC

Price: £15

Buy it: www.sandisk.co.uk

This SanDisk has excellent write speeds both in-camera and when using a USB 3.0 card reader. However, read speed is less impressive, so it takes longer to download your photos to a computer.

Score: 4/5

Lexar Professional 600x UHS-1 SDHC 

Price: £24

Buy it: www.lexar.com

If you want the ultimate in speed from an SDHC card, look no further. It delivers the fastest in-camera and USB 3.0 write speeds in the group, and just beats the Integral Ultima Pro.

Score: 5/5

Averiguar la Salud del Disco Duro, con Crystal Disk Info [Windows]

Averiguar la Salud del Disco Duro, con Crystal Disk Info [Windows] : El actual “cuello de botella” en nuestras PCs; es decir, donde todo el rendimiento de nuestra PC llega a estancarse , es en el Disco Duro. Si bien los procesadores han evolucionado considerablemente en velocidad / rendimiento, el RAM no sólo es más económico, sino más veloz, y las tarjetas de video siguen innovando con cada generación, los discos duros han permanecido idénticos desde hace años, limitados por la física. Y es que un disco duro tradicional sólo tiene un máximo de velocidad con el que puede girar (medido en revoluciones por minuto, o RPM) que, a su vez, limita la velocidad de lectura y escritura. En pocas palabras, a pesar de que nuestras PCs pueden procesar información mucho más rápido que hace 5 años, los discos duros siguen leyendo (y escribiendo) esta información prácticamente a la misma velocidad. Esto ha cambiado con la llegada de los SSD, los Discos de Estado Sólo que no están limitados por la velo...

Learn Composition from the Photography of Henri Cartier-Bresson

“Do you see it?” This question is a photographic mantra. Myron Barnstone , my mentor, repeats this question every day with the hopes that we do “see it.” This obvious question reminds me that even though I have seen Cartier-Bresson’s prints and read his books, there are major parts of his work which remain hidden from public view. Beneath the surface of perfectly timed snap shots is a design sensibility that is rarely challenged by contemporary photographers. Henri Cartier-Bresson. © Martine Franck Words To Know 1:1.5 Ratio: The 35mm negative measures 36mm x 24mm. Mathematically it can be reduced to a 3:2 ratio. Reduced even further it will be referred to as the 1:1.5 Ratio or the 1.5 Rectangle. Eyes: The frame of an image is created by two vertical lines and two horizontal lines. The intersection of these lines is called an eye. The four corners of a negative can be called the “eyes.” This is extremely important because the diagonals connecting these lines will form the breakdown ...
