Canon EOS 350D

Just got myself one of these.

Got to get a CF card for it. Will 2GB be enough?

Just need to start taking some pics now!

It depends what format you shoot in. I had a 1gb to start with and that was fine for normal pics in hi res hi detail.

Now I'm shooting mostly in RAW mode I've got a 2gb and a 1gb card. At Goodwood I filled the 2gb by mid afternoon, and shot enough to fill half the 1gb.

2gb will be fine for now I'd think.

2GB seems to be ok here - but not for long!

 

[rcp]

Yeah, I think I'll start with 2GB and see how I go.

Do you keep the camera in a case or just carry it around using the strap?

 

[Rich]

Like others, I started with 1GB and soon ended up getting another 2GB card.

Hey, I've got a high speed 1GB came cheap as part of a bundle, its enough for me for now, pluss canon gave me a free 256 with the body and ill be getting another free 256 soon

You'll soon want new bits for it, when you do I'd recommend checking here before making any purchases

Look for the discount codes, finding it may have have just saved me nearly £50 on my next lense..

If you're going to be taking lots of pictures have a look at this

http://www.smartdisk.com/eWeb/smartdiskus/www/staticpages/photobank.asp

on their site its £109, warehouse express sell them for £99, turn it on, stick your card in, press copy job done. Also works like a regular external hard drive, not a bad price for 40Gb i dont think, i find it well handy.

Thanks for the links guys.

Looking at the Sandisk cards - not sure whether it's worth the difference between Ultra II and Extreme III.

I have the extreme III in my Nikon D70s mainly because it was nice and fast for shooting in burst mode, and so far it hasnt missed a beat, very pleased with Sandisk.

6gb for me

a 2gb and a 4gb kingston elite pros, and i usually fill them every gig i do.

i always always shoot RAW.

i haven't noticed any difference with the faster cards on my 350d so i haven't bothered going for a 55million gigaflops per second one.

I noticed with a 120x card shooting RAw and continuos it gets choked after around 6 shoots without letting up.

Did any of you get a warranty card inside the box?

Even though I have the receipt for proof of purchase, there is nothing inside or on the box that says anything about it being covered under warranty, which is a bit worrying!
