Fine for photo's however.

It's about 3 years since I last bought a CF card, so am a bit out of the loop with regard to specs etc.

A 8 gb san disk at 30mb/sec (200x) is $NZ53. A 8 gb san disk at 60mb/sec (400x) is $NZ100 (it also has a HD video label on the packaging if that is any indication).

The 7D manual doesn't say much, apart from recommending getting the fastest speed possible.

HD video is 5mb/sec so technically both should be ok(?).

Or should I just buy one of each (one for photo's, one for video's).

Any advice would be appreciated. ]]> Gear talk mesodan http://www.hellophoto.co.nz/showthread.php?4020-CF-Cards-How-much-speed-do-you-need <![CDATA["Avoid the 'blown' highlights obsession"]]> http://www.hellophoto.co.nz/showthread.php?4018-quot-Avoid-the-blown-highlights-obsession-quot&goto=newpost Tue, 07 Sep 2010 23:02:29 GMT A blog post I found.. http://esfotoclix.com/blog1/?p=1242

I'm just wondering if anyone knows how to use the SB-900 to fire off other flashes via wireless (without using the CLS system, I'm needing to fire off other flashes without line of sight).

I've got the CTR-301P transmitter and two receivers. I'm wanting to continue having the SB-900 mounted to my camera, but be able to set off my other flash(es) via wireless. Any ideas? ]]> Lighting and flash photography Seinafolava http://www.hellophoto.co.nz/showthread.php?4013-How-to-use-the-SB-900-as-a-WIRELESS-TRANSMITTER Very cool point and shoot http://www.hellophoto.co.nz/showthread.php?4012-Very-cool-point-and-shoot&goto=newpost Tue, 07 Sep 2010 09:03:51 GMT This thing looks great as a second camera for fun stuff!

Currently I have filter stacker (Basically a metal screw in cap for top and bottom), but this often not so convenient.

I'm thinking of wallet type case or slot in bag for my needs. But availableones are bit big for my purpose. I would liekto hev one for series of 77mm and one for 52-62mm.

Unfortunately the photos probably have holiday shots written all over them but I didn't have much time for photography as I was working. Hope you enjoy them anyway.
