I recently wanted to upgrade my Nikon D200 and was hoping to purchase a D400. But seeing that the D400 won't be available anytime in the near future I decided to go with the D7000. I like the D7000 very much but the Buffer is small and when shooting in Raw on Continuous High I am done after 10-11 pictures. Then there is a 12 second wait time for the Buffer to download to the SD Card. I want to purchase another (1 or 2) SD Cards and would like to know if I could decrease the amount of time for the Buffer to download by buying a more expensive card. Specifically I am comparing the SanDisk Extreme Pro with a 95 MB/sec vs. a SanDisk Extreme with a 30MB/sec. I would appreciate any thoughts or recommendations that you might have including other Brand SD Cards.

Although my camera is nowhere near the range of the camera you are talking about, I upgraded from a class 2 card to a class 10 card and noticed a considerable difference. I found a pny 16gb class 10 card online for $18
I like it. The "girl" the creepy trees, the clouds, and the moon in the background. NEAT
Notice the blotchiness of background, upper right corner. This is usually indicative of low pixel count.[/quote]
Yes I see that. Thank You

I also see quite a bit of noise or pixel enlargement. Has this photo been heavily cropped?
What is the "noise" and "pixel enlargement" you refer to? I just want to understand what to look for.
When the children were young, we had 7, my policy was, "If a child touches it, buy the warranty" That plan cost many retailers a tidy sum.
In your case however I think not.
I may have been one of the read the manual guys. I'll be the first to admit that if I tried to remember back to the stone age when I had to read the first manual, most terms probably didn't make sence not to mention balancing F-Stop exposure etc...
I'm glad you found a book that works. Once you've mastered (well at least grasped) your camera, I would recommend Bryan Peterson's understanding Exposure. Lots of great shots help illustrate the differences. Or for a slightly portable book, Peterson's Understanding Photography.
Hope you're enjoying your camera![/quote]
I had an understanding of the basics, years ago I did some work with a Minolta SLR. The problem I had was translating film into digital. I am now learning that digital is really neat!
I have asked several questions in the past week and always got great answers.
The best advice I received however was from several folks, who told me to "read the manual" I was reading the manual and not really understanding much of it.
I found a book called "A short Course in Canon PowerShot S5 IS Photography" by Dennis P Curtin. This is the best money I ever spent.
I actually think I may even learn to understand what some of you are talking about.

I want one! And I obviously need to convert my Nikon D90.
Don't forget to ask for the film conversion for the bifurcated marselvane tabs located on the ambihelical hex nut. That reverse-threaded hex nut is always a real bear to get loose, since all attempts to loosen it merely tighten it down further on the sprocket shaft bearing.
Ahhhhh, The Doctor is in.

Welcome Dave. I know that I have learned a lot here in the short time I have been on this site

I would suggest to use the external flash wireless just get the adapter and mount the flash on top should work fine.
What kind of adapter would that be? My camera has a hotshoe on the top of the camera. The flash has no wires just a small terminal where it fits into the flash shoe.

Yes, it might fry the circuits in the camera.....better to stick with the flash that was made for your particular camera.
Thank You, back in the box it goes!
All good comments and I will attempt to put them to use
Thanks to all
I have a Canon PowerShot S5 IS camera and it has a flash shoe.
In digging through my old stuff I found an old Braun 320BVC battery operated flash unit.
Someone told me that the older flash unit could damage my digital camera. Will it?
I want to use the Braun to "bounce" the flash.
