One of the reviews mentions that the HD2 (I think) takes about 10 seconds after finishing recording one clip before one can shoot the next clip on a HD2, probably at maximum resolution.

The reviewer said that it was difficult to take footage of a batters at a baseball match unless one left the camera rolling (?) all the times because the delay greater than the delay between batters.

How long is the inter-clip delay on your Xacti, what is the model and what is the speed (class or x times) of your SDHC card?

that the Xacti only requires a class 2 card. But perhaps if one were to use a class 6 card the interclip delay might be reduced?

Scandisk class 2 are about 50% cleaper than the A data class 6. Both come with a reader.

Just tried shooting the PC clock with my SD1, stopping and starting immediately. There's 3-4seconds lost between takes.

And what speed is your SDHC card?

I bought the Class 6 sdhc card rather than the class 2 do be on the safe side.

Class II...

I probably should not have bothered with the class six then. I will report back with the interclip delay when it is delivered.

I have a 8G Class II SDHC and a 2G 150x SD. 2G 150x SD has a faster response. I have HD2.

My class 6 (I think that may be the 150 times) takes about 4 seconds between clips. It is more the time that it takes to react to being told to stop recording than the time between clips which is pretty much instantaneous.
