OverClock Intelligence Agency As you can see, the camera is capable of shooting photos very fast. Each photo snapped was roughly 3MB in size and as fast as they were being shot, that is a lot of data to transfer. The OCZ Gold Series 8GB SDHC Memory Card performed exactly as anticipated during benchmark and real-world testing. I have been using the Gold card exclusively in my Nikon D80 which I use mostly to photograph review products and have probably snapped close to 700 photos without incident. If you are looking for a fast Class 6, 150x SDHC card and don't need a super speedy 200x card for continuous shot performance, the OCZ Gold Series 8GB SDHC Memory Card is certainly worth a look."

Overclockers Online "With the OCZ Gold Series, we're off to a good start with the memory card peaking out at 11.4MB/s write and 20.2MB/s read. From the benchmarks we've seen, the OCZ Gold Series has consistent read and write performance. The OCZ Gold Series SDHC card exceeded the claimed expectations of a Class 6 memory card. I've used the Gold Series card with my SD880IS and it never failed to capture an action shot. Something I think justifies buying a new memory card for my camera. If you want a product that will last a lifetime with affordable performance, the OCZ Gold Series SDHC is worth your time and consideration."

PhotoPlus: Gear Update “With larger RAW files, faster burst modes and imminent High-Definition video recording to cope with, standard SD memory cards won’t cut it. These cards offer 150X, class 6 write speeds, which in real-world terms means you’ll rarely have to wait for the little red light on your camera to stop flashing.”

AllRound-PC (Germany) “The OCZ Gold Series was tested error-free and reached high data transfer rates, thus meeting the requirements of the classification.
8 GB and 16 GB models are the most interesting, price-wise. Somewhat surprisingly, the actual available storage capacity differs from manufacturer to manufacturer. Where some manufacturers have only about 7600 MB available, OCZ offers a total of 7800 MB of memory with its 8GB offering."

Foto DNG (Spain) "The OCZ cards come with protective tab writing, so we can avoid more of a problem or fright when we handle multiple cards and we can mix cards with our work. A very good alternative, rapid and reliable, a real bargain, whether we are using lots of photos, high speed shooting (like with Casio cameras that allow us to 40fotos per second) or if we are to make HD video, which is becoming more common with new models digital cameras."

PhotoAnswers "This 16GB SDHC memory card from OCZ Technology has been designed to keep you doing what you enjoy most – taking photographs. If you’re using a 12Mp camera, expect to be able to shoot around 2700 JPEG images. Part of OCZ’s Gold Series range, this card features speeds up to 150X and a write performance that fits into the speed class 6 category. There are three other card capacities to choose from if the 16GB doesn’t suit – choose from 4GB, 8GB or 32GB sizes. Performing faultlessly with our test compact, the Ricoh CX1, this 16GB SDHC card offers the perfect capacity for today’s memory-hungry compacts and D-SLRs. At around £30 it’s comparable price wise with many other 16GB SDHC cards on the market."

Photography Voice “I’ve been using the 16GB model for several months and love it. It’s my 'go to' card when I’m shooting, especially for long periods (in fact, I find myself disappointed if I’ve not cleared it off or forgotten it). In the time I’ve used it, I’ve had no failures with it at all. It’s kept up with the speed of my Samsung GX-10 for normal shooting and bursts without issue or complaint. In my benchmark tests, my 16GB model averaged 8.386 MB/second writing and ranged from 7.042 to 9.326. The OCZ Gold Series SDHC card has been a true and solid performer in the field and in my computer. For its speed and reliability, photographyvoice.com gives this card a rating of HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.”
