New Toy, Canon 7D

Thursday, February 18th, 2010 | Author: admin

I just bought a Canon 7D to complement my 5D…. I’ll keep you guys posted on its performance.

So far things I like:

It can control my Canon Flashes off camera
It has a “level” so it can help you keep things straight
The viewfinder has an electronic grid “focus screen”, you can turn it on/off
Feels solid like my 5D MKII

Fastest Compact Flash memory card reader… its your camera!

Monday, December 28th, 2009 | Author: admin

So I’ve had three USB 2.0 card readers that I use to transfer my photos to my computer. They are all USB2.0 readers. I have two of these:

23-in-1-usb-20-card-reader

And one of these:

Compact Flash Reader

They should be able to transfer my 25MB RAW images at card speed which is 30MB/s which would be great… the problem is that they are transferring at a rate of ~3MB/s which is like watching paint dry…

I was just about to order a $80 firewire reader when I tried plugin in my camera and trying its speed, well the camera did 30MB/s !!! so my cards are fine its these cheap readers that are at fault.

How do you guys transfer files back to your computers?
