bickster Posted September 16, 2008 Moderator Share Posted September 16, 2008 cracking picture, how did you resist not going in for a closer look? Only just seen this comment, So I'll post a picture later of where we were going that'll show why we didn't bother stopping here. If you stopped at every medieval town around those parts you'd never get anywhere Also, nice shots of the le mans cars Cat looks like you had a good trip tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 looks like you had a good trip tony Yeah , impressed with my 450d ... trouble I had was mainly it was huge Roman monuments everywhere and very hard to capture them and make them look interesting ..even with my wide angle lens just couldn't really get the shot .. other problem was sunlight , so much shadow on a lot of the shots My local college is running an 8 week course in the evenings so i might enroll and see where I'm going wrong .. I'll upload a few just so you cna see what I mean and mayeb pass some tips (other than don't give up your day job :-) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momo Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Anybody using an EOS 450d who can recommend a memory card? I want to buy 8Gb but some say it slows the camera. Should I go for 4 GB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
privateer Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I don't see any direct correlation between the memory capacity of a card and effects on camera speed. What 8gb card is it and what exactly is said to slower? I'm guessing that what is being referred to is moving data to the card but that is not anything to do with the actual size of the card, it will be something else.

momo Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Yes, it was that, moving the data. I'm looking at SanDisk Extreme III cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I go for 4 GB? not sure why you would want an 8 gig card to be honest i have 4 gig sandisk Extreme III in mine holds about 400 photos even in large format more than big enough i should think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
privateer Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I have that very card and have to say I've never experienced any issues using it but I'm not using a 450D - I'm not using a Canon at all. It would surprise me if it were true, though, as I would expect the camera and card to perform perfectly well in just about all circumstances except if continuous shooting shots in extreme bursts. All cameras and cards will do that after a point if you hold the shutter button down for long enough, depending upon the camera's ability to clear its memory buffer and the ability of the card to accept the data. Have you had a look at DPReview? They normally have something about that kind of thing on their camera reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are shooting raw rather than JPEG larger cards are a necessity. One thing I've learned over the years - sometimes frustratingly - is you can't have too much memory or too many batteries. You can have too little or too few, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momo Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 It's my first real camera. Got it yesterday. DPReview? I have a lot to learn. The 8Gb card is only about a tenner more expensive than the 4Gb card, so if they perform the same I'll go for the bigger one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

privateer Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Just learned something myself there. I didn't realise it used an SD card rather than CF, so you can scratch what I said above about having one myself. I don't, I have an 8gb compact flash card.

I went for the 8Gb card. I have to mention that VT rules! You can get help with anything here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b23avfc Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I'm a bit late but for what it's worth I use 4gb Sandisk Extreme III (last two are the newer versions) and a few 2 and 1gb Sandisk Ultra II's from before. I wouldn't want to "put all my eggs in one basket" with the 8gb but then maybe as it's my living it is more of a concern for me. That said, the card should serve you very well. Never had an issue with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prebbz Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Im just getting into photograhy and thinking it is best if i purchase a cheap ish second hand jobby to get me started and help me learn the ropes. Can anyone give me some decent recommendations, probably going to spend up to a couple hundred quid as i will only have the camera a little while. If anyone has one they are looking to sell then id be interested cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
