jason well pleased

Hi Jason, it could be a good price depending on the speed. Lots of CF cards out there but the speed is important. And that's where the retailers are getting away with murder.

Let the consumer beware.

The Pentax cameras take advantage of Write Acceleration technology, currently offered in Lexar cards. I have a 2 GB Lexar that is just smokin'!

But even without special technology, a faster care will be better for you.

To both. Totally agree with your thoughts. Fast is good.

So far though, in the 9000+ images i have taken with the ist D. I have never found myself in a position where a few extra seconds (?) have been critical. Maybe that time will come, who konws. Perhaps it depends on what you shoot.

Jason so far so good

Give Track and Field a try, cycling, etc in continuous mode. Miliseconds counts.

Some shots of what I mean can be found in the PanAm Album at www.jointcomms.com/thegallery

You didn't say, what speed are the cards you bought at that price?

Jointcomms

to be honest I do not know what the card speed is.

In return for sharing some of your images here are some of mine.

As an aside, I like the look of yor gallery software. Some seem overly fancy and busy. It must be my nature but I like the straightforward simplicity and layout.

Thanks
Jason

Thanks for your comments. My album is less cluttered because I host my own = no advertising. Which means people get down to see what they came for to start with.

Some nice shots Jason. I do a lot of auto photography (www.classic-rods.com) but never did any races. They can't be easy shots because the subject is so fast. I notice that you did try some panning which usually result in the best shots. Thanks for sharing.
