RAW File Store Speed of Olympus 5060/8080/E1
Hello everyone.
I have an Olympus C-5060W and discovered that it takes approximately 5-6 seconds to store an uncompressed RAW or TIFF image. This is generally not a problem, but I occasionally take animal photographs which require a faster response time of just a brief moment between shots. Granted the C-5060W is not a state-of-the-art digital SLR, so I would like to know if the Olympus C-8080 or E1 have a better record in this respect. Thanks to all. |

Thanks to all. dpreview.com You'll find better media make a big difference in write speed. Also, RAW is faster than TIFF (total time). |

The Olympus 5050 is capable of writing to a fast CF card at 2.5 MByte/s, thereby storing a RAW image in 3 seconds. Then Olympus decided to reduce this speed in the 5060 and 8080. The 5060 tops out at 1MB/s, the 8080 only at 0.9MB/s. The person at Olympus who took this design decision should be shot. The E1 instead is capable of writing to the memory card at 3.5MByte/s. -- Alfred Molon ------------------------------ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Olympus_405080/ Olympus 5050 resource - http://www.molon.de/5050.html Olympus 5060 resource - http://www.molon.de/5060.html Olympus 8080 resource - http://www.molon.de/8080.html |
