The are file errors one too many times and the card/adaptor locks up. Not something you would want if your time or images are important to you ; ) – probably are.

When I was shooting with an EyeFi card in the SD slot it felt slow as molasses so I removed the card. 

I’d love to know if it was just me.

Does the smaller file size of the Jpeg’s allow the SD card to keep pace with the RAW’s going to the CF card?
