Good Review by Daniel who is a mod on this forum

Shutter closing too soon and leaving a black band at the bottom happens with a lot of remote triggers such as the Yongnuo RF-602. You have to use about 1/100th sec. to avoid it. It's possible that is 2nd Curtain Sync anyway

Windows file copy is pretty dumb It doesn't verify the copy, but to be honest copy errors are very rare. I'm not sure about the latest Windows, but earlier versions just made up how long was left for the copy to finish It used to show something like 2 mins left the 30 seconds left then 5 mins left etc.

The last decent Filemanager program was in Windows NT 4.0. Still works in W7.

Teracopy doesn't work with Winfile so I use Explorer

I always use Teracopy for file copying mostly because it will do a full verify after the copy. I use the free version and still prefer v2.3 although I haven't properly tried the final of v3.

It can be set up to give an option of Windows or Teracopy on drag drop operations which is how I use it. I usually get 50-100 MB/sec on USB3, Verify usually takes about half the copy time.

I've just copied over 200 DVD-RAM archive disks back onto hard drives without a single error.

These conversion sites don't list shutter speeds such as 1/15th second etc.

I've just done this quickly on a spreadsheet. Needs checking
