Olympus C7070 Zoom Memory Card Write Speeds



Back to the Olympus 7070 online resource Olympus 7070 users group



Summary

This is a survey of the Olympus C7070 write speeds to different memory cards. It appears that the 7070 writes to the memory card at a faster speed than its predecessor (the 5060), topping out at 1.7-1.8 MB/s, which is a welcome improvement, but is still far less than what modern memory cards are capable of (10 MB/s).
