i wanted to get the canon dual BP-511 charger, but i found out that it charges one battery at a time.

That seems useful. :rolleyes:

well i guess its more convenient than how you would normally charge 2 batteries

you gotta wait for the first one to finish charging, then remember that you are charging batteries and come back and check up on it, then swap it out and for the 2nd battery.

This is what I got (with the two charging plates):

I picked it up from a local camera shop. Turns out, I didn't need to buy it and they don't allow returns. :rant:

Lowepro Fastpack 250


That's it.......for now. :tomato:

I'm considering get the new 'Sunpak Carbon Fiber Tripod Pro 523P' before I leave to Cabo this weekend. At first I thought 'meh' but it has really good write ups. :dunno: For $200 it looks like a pretty good deal.

As far as lenses go, I have two in mind right now that I am considering for my next. Either:

1) Nikon 85mm f/1.4, or
2) Nikon 105mm f/2.8


I'm gonna use it mainly as a macro and portrait lens; probably more macro though. I'm afraid the 20mm difference may mean alot for macro...I was leaning towards the 105, but the f/1.4 is :drool:

Advice???

And I'm considering these because I think I am gonna want to stick to mainly primes. Not set on it, but highly considering it. Maybe just have one really good zoom, and the rest primes once I get my collection going.

To add.

An 8GB CF card.

I was surprised when only ~300 shots could be held on the 8 gig with 14bit RAW files. :what:

:what: on my 10mp 40D with a 4GB CF card i can hold about ~300 shots in 14bit raw.

an extra .2mp shouldn't make the files that much larger.

unless you are doing 14bit raw + large uncompressed jpeg, but even then.....

312 to be exact

I'm guessing SanDisk used alot of room for the formatting of the card? :dunno:

Either way it's fine.

Not only was it on sale, but it was one of the new 30mb/s cards. Not that I have any room to compare it to anything else, but I was happy that I knew I was getting a good deal on a good product.


Btw....the D300 is 2.2mp more, not just .2. Typo???


EDIT: No I'm am only shooting 14bit RAW...no jpeg's with it.

yea 2.2, but still that shouldn't double the file sizes. :scratch:

True....

Erm.

Tomorrow after my final, I'll format my card, and stick in the computer and find out what the true memory space is.

Yea my D300 tears up data, I wasn't used it it coming from a 40D. Needless to say I'm more careful on what I shoot because I want to save time PP and data!!

:woot:

Just picked up a Velbon El Carmagne 530 Carbon Fiber tripod from Best Buy for $200.

I like it. Partly because it can reach up fairly tall so I can stand up straight. :tomato:

No Bogen Manfrotto??

crazy. so if i were to switch to a D700/D3, id need to get at the minimum 8gb CF cards preferably 16gb CF cards :eek:

Nah.
For the price, I was like :eek:
Carbon fiber tripod for $200?? That's pretty good in my book. It's a nice sturdy tripod too. Not some things thrown together with the CF label on it.
3.9lbs FTW!!!!

The only thing that kind of 'eh' is that it doesn't have a quick release head. I will say though, that its not nearly as much of a PITA compared to some. It's hard to explain, but it really isn't that bad. We'll see.

I like it alot though. :D

Received my 100mm 2.8 macro today. :woot:

^Dude, nice collection!

WTF, i never said for that to post.

anyways, the point of me quoting that was, say if i were to sell my EF 70-200mm 1:4 L USM, would anyone here be interested in it?

:scratch: Is there now an auto-submit if you take to long to post?

Then I rescind my "nice collection" comment... :tongue:

:dunno:

"SCRIB: We're working on it. There will be a few kinks to iron out."

...or something to that effect...:P

If you manually create the [IMG] [/IMG] tags, it works gooder.

:eek:

nice printer, i got a Canon MP470 back in march, not quite a printer like that, but much better than the 10 year old BJC-3000 i was using.

you know you have a piece of ancient technology when it says this under the OS Compatibility
Windows 95/98, Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0 and Mac OS (8.1 or later)
:rofl:

But I put in perfectly gooder IMG tags. They're there, they're there. :whine:

I've read really good things about it. I'm excited to see what it can do! :ecstatic:

i guess that means no one here does, guess its time to post it on POTN and/or craigslist :(

Give it a few hours more, or just post a for sale here (after getting permission - it has been allowed in the past, since it's camera gear).

I sold mine on POTN after trying here first and it sold rather quickly.

:rofl:

since you dont have one anymore, want mine? :wish:

:rofl: No. I replaced it with the IS version and am very happy with that decision.

Welcome!

Does the BG-E2N even fit the 400D? Did you accidentally add a ")" in there?

Regardless, nice glass. Welcome. Now post pics.
