Delkin Combat Flash CF 16GB

[Bamamike]

Fedex delivered today my new Delkin CF-Card.

Speed: UDMA 6 (Read 91 MB/s, Write 82 MB/s) 625x
Waterproof
Lifetime Warranty
Rugged Case

Operating Temperature: -58F to 212F

Shock: 40g at 11ms (MIL-STD-810)

Vibration: 15Hz to 2000Hz (MIL-STD-810)

Humidity: 95% (MIL-STD-810)

Altitude: 80,000 feet

RS-ECC: Built in error detection and correction

I tested the card with my E-5 and compared it with a SanDisk Extreme IV

LSF + RAW: 9 Pictures @ 5/s, then slowed down
SanDisk: 8 Pictures, then really slowed down

RAW: 20 Pictures @ 5/s, then slowed down
SanDisk: 10 Pictures, then really slowed down

I didn't test the LSF since this files are smaller than RAW.

Verdict: I think my E-5 has now found the matching card

Nice review!

BTW: I just checked: A 4-gig Delkin Combat Flash CF = $79.99, and the 16-gig CF costs: $189.00. GoTo:

For the time being I think I'll stick with my Sandisk Extreme III, Kingston Elite Pro and Lexar Platinum (each = 4-gigs).
