and

well the first one, I guess I can't answer, since I don't know what you look like.

 

Ahhhhh... I get it.

Jebus, 16GB is a shit ton of pictures.

Next time, bring more memory cards?

I couldn't imagine processing 16GB of RAW images...

 

thanks, I would have never thought of that.
oh I would never try, if I dint have this new computar. :yay:

 

he wasn't making any reference to your photos, btw

 

i shot RAW+JPG yesterday on the 1DIIn. raw to CF, jpg to SD

to the 7D, good luck bursting with that
an fyi, the buffer only allows for 4 images IIRC on the 7D, it should be 19 on the mkIIn

 

I know, I was just playing around.

 

i dont know if i like CS4, some of my keyboard shortcuts i use all the time got changed

 

yes, I knew that.

 

You gotta watch Rubin's sarcasm...it goes undetected..

 

 

There it is again.

thats just RAW, im talking about RAW+JPG

 

a pro level body with 2 card slots is able to write both formats faster than a prosumer level body with 1 slot? that's your point?

 

 

the buffer is still 19 images using only a CF card...

 

my point is that there are still some good things about the 1DmkII series' over the 7D.

 

ooo take a look at this comparison of viewfinders.

 

trying to make yourself feel better? lol get a grip (and I don't mean battery grip) the 1D is awesome series, no need to try justify its worth.

 

you know while using the XTi, i never realized the viewfinder was that small until after i upgraded to the 40D and went back and used an XTi. i swear i couldnt see!

 

maybe

 

trying to change the subject to viewfinders?

 

 

no, its good. right thread

 

i wish i could see what the 1Ds viewfinder looks like.

 

played with a SD780 - its pretty nice - nice quality pics, doesnt have that overblown look of nightclub shots with a P&S. also very small, and it has 720p too. I heard its going for a around $200-220 or so, not bad at all.

 

any sample pics?

im thinking if i want to get a compact P&S to complement my dSLRs i would get a S90. Although i would like to get the underwater D10

 

for you, .

 

 

I don't have any from when I was playing with it, if that's what you meant. I'll try getting some from the guy who had it.

 

ohh thats ok. i thought you had them.

 

Yup - extended version.

I shot nearly 20GB at the wedding yesterday. These 7D files are Huge-mongous. 1/2 of them were with the 40D though...nearly 1000pics. I'll be culling a lot alotalot, though.

Why? Why do you shoot RAW +jpeg? I mean, I realize that if it's offered, there must be a reason why people want it, but unless you're direct printing & then fully processing later (which I also don't get) I don't understand the need for both file types. I'm not knocking it, I've just never known anyone to use that, so I'm wondering what your reason is?

Glad to hear you've been out shooting.

Yeah, it was annoying, but really easy to re-customize.

 

doin' work! what is the filesize per pic like 17-18mb pretty much?

 

21-25!!

 

oh wow...

 

time to stock up on some TB drives! what's your long-term plan to handle the added space and backup requirements?

 

I've got 2 750GB externals for backup now - each of which has 500GB+ remaining, so I'm ok for now. I'll have to move files off the laptop more frequently, but that's a good thing. I want to add memory to my laptop, just for smoother file handling. I just plan to buy more externals as needed. Thankfully, memory is getting cheaper all the time.

What your files sizes like with the 5D? You shoot more than anyone I know...what's your HD space like?

 

cool. not too crazy for me, since most of what Ive shot has been JPG (3-5MB). So I have a TB drive at work where I keep my whole library (and sync it once a while by bringing it home to copy stuff over), and I have a couple of TB drives at home with more redundant storage. I do the same I buy more when I need it. But now I'm doing more RAW guess I'll be buying more drives - so amazing to have such cheap drives nowdays.

5D RAW files are between 10-13MB. I'm guessing its because of the 14-bits that yours are considerably higher than 18MB?

 

ohh i only tried the RAW+JPG because i wanted to try out using both memory card slots at once.
