Crazy findings Samsung nx30 and SD cards

Hi !

I've been having problems shooting successive RAW photos with my NX30 recently when trying to shoot Brenizers. Here is the problem I encountered which I found really strange because shooting continuous or bursts inRAW does not show the same behaviour.

Now, here is the crazy thing ! I have an "old" Sony Class 4 16 Gb SD card in my Samsung WB150. As I wanted to know if using this card would slow down the NX30 even more, I tried to use it to shoot a Brenizer in RAW : 5 shots per row. And you know what ? The NX30 shoots regularly without any slowing down until the buffer is full (about 20 photos) !

I then tried with an 8 Gb Lexar class 6 SD card. Same thing, no slowing down or erratic shutter releases/lagging.

Tried with a Samsung 32 Gb Class 10 UHS1 : after 5 photos, NX30 starts to release shutter erratically with lagging.

At least I know that when I'll have to shoot Brenizers in RAW I'll just have to use the Sony card, but I find it really strange.

On the number of photos taken before it stops responding there is no difference (around 20 photos). In burst and continuous modes, no difference either.

So, do you think it is because of the cards capacity (the fast ones are 32 Gb and the slower ones are 8 and 16 Gb) or because they are UHS1 ? What is the compatibility of the Samsung NX30 with SD card versions ?

Cheers.
Jay
