CF memory card or SD
I would like to find out what memory cards other photographers carry on vacations. I would like to be able to use the video on my 5d II as well as photos shot in RAW. What type of card, what size card, how fast, and how many? On previous vacations I have shot about 800 high jpg. photos in two weeks.

CF memory shortage
I haven't had to buy memory in 2 years. Started looking yesterday and was shocked at lack of selection and high prices. What are people doing about this problem. I was going to shoot RAW in France for two weeks and figurred I would need at least 128Gig for my 5d II. Any thoughts?

U.S. Department of Justice Slaps Baltimore Police Over Right to Record Issue
But the question in South Texas is, is a police action or a home invasion? Any one can get a police uniform.

Solving high contrast problem
I will try fill flash. Pictures at a fair are almost always ok. But even with a 28mm lens, to get the whole exhibit stall in the picture, I didn't think I would to be able to get close enough for the flash to light up much. But I will try it and see what happens.

This contrast problem also exhists shooting outdoors here because the sun is extremely bright. But I can always use HDR in that case.

Also I can't use HDR because the people move between pictures

Solving high contrast problem
I will try exposing for the light areas and try to drag more detail out of the dark. My previous aatemts at this have not been too successful. Thanks for the feedback

Solving high contrast problem
I have been taking pictures at local fairs in South Texas but have encountered a problem. Most tents are bright white and inside the seller's stall is dark. Can't use multi -picture HDR because of movement of people. Either the tent is blown out in white or the tent has detail but the dark area is too dark and has no detail. Sliders in Photoshop make the pictures look balanced, but when you look carefully, major crisp ddetail is missing in either the tent or inside the stall. Do you have a recommendation to solve this problem?

suggestion for zoom 400mm
Based on your combined opinions, I researched the Canon 100-400 and the Sigma 120-400 (the 500 was just too heavy to travel with). The sources said that they are generally well matched. But the Signa is very sensitive to exact focus at 400 which may require a small manual adjust after the auto focus settles.

I guess I should rent the two and come to my own conclusion.
Thanks for the help
Jim

suggestion for zoom 400mm
I have good lenses 100mm and down. And I have been looking for a lens that zooms to 400mm. But everything I have looked at seems to have some major flaws. I may be asking the impossible, but can anyone recommend a 400mm zoom without major image problems??
