[Leica] SD Card Questions, M(240) Gearhead Edition

[John McMaster]

The main difference in speed is when turning the camera on, especially with EVF attached. I have been satisfied with the Lexar 600x (I have shied away from Sandisk since experiences with the M9) but have not tried every card available.....

I 'm sorry to post this again because I suspect it has been discussed but inasmuch as neither the LUG Search function nor my internal memory function are working very well I'll have to.

I see that Leica suggests Sandisk Ultra or Extreme Class 10 SD cards with speeds >30 MB/s.  http://content.abt.com/documents/54249/LEICAM_FAQ.pdf

There are some folks on another well known Leica forum who say the speed - both waking and shooting - is noticeably better with the latest and fastest cards, which have maximum speeds of 95 MB/s.  I have also seen posters in various forii say they get faster speeds with 16GB cards than they do with 32GB cards.

I'm just curious to know if any LUGers have discerned - when shooting with an M (240) or an M-P (240) - noticeably faster speeds or any other _noticeable_  advantage to using 60 MB/s versus 95 MB/s SD cards, and also any _noticeable_ speed difference when using 16GB, 32GB or larger cards.

Thanks,
