X Pro 2 Buffer Issues

[Malus120]

Hi,

 

Bought an X-Pro 2 on launch day and for the most part am satisfied. 

 

I've had some issues with the buffer however. 

 

Most reviews I've read state that they are able to get around 27 uncompressed raw frames +JPEGs or 33 compressed raw+JPEG frames into the buffer.

 

I have two UHS II cards, a previous generation 16GB Toshiba EXCERIA PRO (rated for 240MB/s write) which I've had since release, and a Transcend Ultimate 32GB UHS II (rated for 180MB/s write). 

 

With the Toshiba I can get around 29 shots of compressed raw, while the Transcend is only giving me around 25. With the transcend I actually seem to get more shots with uncompressed raw.

 

One thing I learned while playing around right after I got the camera is that the amount of shots you can fit in the buffer with compressed raw appears to be limited by processing speed, as options such as face/eye tracking slow it down a lot (originally I thought my camera was defective as I was only getting 20-22 shots in the buffer).

 

The numbers above however seem to be as good as I can get it however. Has anyone else had this experience, and are there any other options to be turned off or settings to be changed for maximum buffer writes?

It's around there, what you've shot.

 

Review test buffer shots are sometimes done on simplified settings and shutter speed cranked up, aperture wide open and focus fixed (or switched off). LCD review is switched off and other unnecessary processes turned off.

 

In the real world, if you manage 20+ shot bursts, it's good. Typically I get around 23 -25 buy I usually shoot bursts of 3 - 6 at any one go.
