Memory card speed.

Anybody having write speed issues with high capacity SD cards?

I'm finding that with my NX20 the bigger the card the slower the camera writes. I use 32 / 64Gb high speed cards and a series of 3 bracketed RAW shots (9 images) locks the camera for 40 seconds. Use a 4Gb card rated at the same speed and the processing time is 18 seconds.

The obvious solution is to use the smaller card but what is the problem? I also note the NX11's don't have the same problem and are noticeably faster..smaller image files?

Solution to buy an NX30?

Thoughts?

Re: Memory card speed.

What type of card are they?  are both the 4 GB and 64 GB cards the same write speed (class 10 doesn't mean much except for video, minimum sustained transfer rate).

Same brand, same speed.
