Hey Krela, I've not taken delivery yet of our Canon 550. That was what you got in the end wasn't it? What is the memory card it uses please?

For those unsure on class of card of x rating this should help:

It's this one NC, the one you posted is the older version which is slower and more expensive!

personally I would get this one:

http://www.play.com/Electronics/Ele...s=s{sdhc}+c{321}+ae32{Lexar}+&urlrefer=search

Class 10 grade but constant speed of 20mb/s and only £55.99, I know Krela its lexar but its still 32gb and faster at constant rate than the sandisk extreme

Dam that is a good price, Thought I did well getting the 8 gig version a while ago. I may well invest in one of them. Cheers.

Urbex isn't the only photography I do and burst speed is useful to me, particularly when I'm using my mates 7D.

How many pics do you guys take in a day??? I just checked my two class ten cards,,,,, in my 550d the 2GB card is indicating that it'll give me 276 pics at 18m,, and the 8GB card is indicating 1134 pics at 18m

I like to have something in hand but am not obsessed enough to spend loads of dosh on a huge capacity card

So why the drive towards the biggies,,, am I missing something??

My D7000 has twin 8gb's at the moment and I want to use slot 2 as backup. An 8gb will hold 276 shots for me but to add video as well would really lessen the photos I could take. 2 x 16gb allow me to do exactly what I want video and photo with plenty of room and instead of paying £130+ I have paid £32 for the exact same cards I was looking at in Curry's

Jools if you used RAW thw you would not be able to take that many.

I use the 550D, and use big cards: mainly for piece of mind, but also because video noms the memory (and battery). HD vid on the 550D can consume 330MB per minute!

Mate, I think you and I must be ******* when it comes to image data size

 

[jools]

On RAW I'll get an indicated 272 pics on the 8GB card,,,,,,,,,, One raw file generally takes me more than one evening to sort out,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, so between SWMBO's demands and 272 RAW files I guess my next year of evenings could be sorted out



A general question,,,,,,,,,,, do you download all of your pics and then wipe the card memory or do you leave the pics on the card????

My friend's father never deletes pics from his cards,,,, he just buys a new card,,,,,,,,,, no,,, we don't understand him either!!!!

 

[Seahorse]

If you just leave pics on the card, where would you put your processed RAW files? Really no reason not to invest in a decent RAID drive so as to avoid losing precious memories.

Cheap as anything these days. £150 or less buys an awful lot of peace of mind.
