Hi all,

One of the things I find incredibly frustrating about the SX 70 HS is that it essentially goes into lockdown when you have filled the buffer with shots. Specifically, you can't even zoom whilst it's writing to the card.

I am using a Sandisk Ultra 32Gb card so it's no slouch and I do not think there is much to be gained from a faster card (although open to that if opinions differ).

Has anyone found a workaround / setting that helps?

Mark.

..The SX70 camera has incredible amount of "buffer" when compared to my other superzoom cameras..

..and "yes" having a faster memory card can certainly help with the cameras performances..

..the memory card I'm using for my SX70 camera is the SanDisk Extreme Pro, be sure to get the one for the "4K".. (see the below picture)

..happy shooting..

..Cheers..
