Well, just upload to your laptop, android phone, etc, anything that is wireless, that can use or has a larger capacity card. Your smartphone with a 32GB micro SD card should hold more than enough pics, even in RAW, for a day or two's worth of shooting. If you fill it up, tho, just put in a fresh card...
Step up to UDMA 6 cards. Transfers data at 90mb/sec, much faster than class 10 which only transfers data at 10mb/sec. If you go by the "x" number, look for 600x (90mb/sec), 400x (60mb/sec). There is a UDMA 7 that transfers at 100+mb/sec but I've only seen it on 128GB cards.

I have been reading about Variable Neutral Density filters and have wonder it anyone has tried them. Seems like a good ideal but is it too good to be true. Only having one glass in front instead of stacking several. I have read that Variable ND filters are basically two polarizers crossing each other so they act as NDs but really arent.
Would like to hear from others that may have used them or not.
Thanks for your imput.
Have a polaroid vnd filter. Works well. Use it for waterfalls, rills etc to get the haze effect on the water using long exposure times. Nice thing is, you can set your shot up,
then crank down the filter as dark as you'd like for whatever effect you're looking for. Do your homework, check reviews. You do
not need to spend $400 on a vnd filter (and sing ray is the only one to rook ya like that). You could even use a welding mask dark glass piece to get the same effect.
So, lessons learned? Don't buy memory cards at walmart, kmart, best buy etc. Go on line, amazon, adorama, b & h, whatever, look for UDMA 6 cards, and you'll be fine...

I know when it is already downloaded how to find out what it is. my question is can i just download one card at a time and how do i know which card i am downloading?
Again: RTFM. This is great problem solver.

If I could take a Lei home from Maui and she said yes! Then when I showed her (second mistake) the 4 that I wanted to take home she said "No Way!" I mean just because they were still on these beauties! Whats the problem? Then she said if I do then she gets to take home a Hula Skirt too. We left them there but I'm gonna miss them!
Well, I can see your wife got lei'd while in the Islands, but you didn't. (snicker. hehehe)

thanks for the advice but was wondering how to know which memory card i am downloading from since there is 2 in this camera. Should i just take one out while i download and then switch them? they can also be used for overflow so they will have different pics on them.
RTFM. Should answer this question. Also, RAW files will have a .cr? extension, and JPEG's will have a .jpg extension. RAW files will be large, while jpeg files will be 3-5mb in size (approx).

Question, I am always seeming to wait for the present groupe of cards I own to finish writing my images before the next one is taken. I'm using a Coolpix P7000 and although I am sure that they will catch up I would like to know what I should be looking for in a card to know before buying what the speed it is or how to know how fast a card can transfer image data.Also how I can know which card is the fastest. All my images are in jpeg and max resolution.
UDMA 7 right now is fastest: 100MB+/sec, usually found only on 128GB sized cards (right now)($1500 price tag too). UDMA 6 next at 90MB/sec on pro type 16, 32, 64GB cards. Class 10 cards spit bits at 45MB/sec, class 6 around 30MB/sec. Class 6 cards would probably work well enough for you, JPEG's don't take up alot of room.
I'm confused. What are you talking about????????? Never mind, kill this thread...

Can anyone tell me what would be a good way or a good subject to practice on your lighting technique when you do not have a person available to help?
If you want to understand light, you need to see what light does. Every day step outside your door, take a pic to the north, south, east and west. Do it for a year and see the changes that occur with each photo; see how the light affects the shots you've made. How light hits your subject, the different angles light makes by the N-E-S-W orientation, these will give you an insight that will prove invaluable. Not my idea, btw. Bryan Peterson's recommendation.
UDMA 7 is your fastest transfer rate, at 100MB/sec and is usually found in your 128GB+ pro-rated cards. Class 10 comes in around 30-45MB/sec. UDMA 6 runs out at 90MB/sec, on 16, 32, 64GB sized cards, and again, on pro type cards. Class 6 squirts bits at a 15-20MB speed, can be found on most sizes. Obviously, the speed you need is determined by the burst rate or continuous frames per second your camera can handle. Also, RAW and JPEG factor into the equation.

Has anyone found an online site that offers quality matboards, foam mounting, framing and so on at a good value? I have a great printer (Canon Pro9000 Mark II) which prints killer prints, but then have the hassle, time and expense of getting them framed.
I would like to find a site that offers these items at a good price. Alternatively, I could probably set up a little workshop and make this stuff as I am pretty handy. Has anyone bought a mat cutter and had any luck doing it themselves?
Thanks folks!

If I were buying, I'd look for the biggest sensor that I could afford.
Good luck!
Actually, if you think it thru, there is more space between larger pixels. The benefit from larger pixels is the fact that they ARE larger, therefore have more info per pixel.

There aren't fewer of them. 10 mp with a APS-C sized sensor has the same number of pixels as 10 mp with a micro 4/3 sensor as 10 mp 1/2.5 sensor. The pixels are just smaller. That's WHY they're called 10 mp!
