*Lolapalooza* Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I got a 7d camera today (yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ) and I didnt realise they need a CF card not an SD card which I already have, sooooo what is a good size CF card for pictures and the odd video please?

CrazyCresties Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Lucky you A 7D is next on my wish list ;) I recently got an 8GB CF for my 350D and it fits about 900 images on it when shooting in RAW, approx 7MB per image - but your images will be larger on the 7D. Anyway, that gives you some indication of capacity I look forward to seeing your pics from it ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~*Shell*~ Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I have 2x16gb cards for my 5D mark II - i would just start with 1 though. I only have 2 because i shoot video for work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellatrix Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Congrats!!! I use 16GB Sandisk Extreme CF cards on the 5DMKII. I have two also. If your shooting video, you will need a fast card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anniek Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 If you have a look in the manual it has a table somewhere showing card size / number of pics/video length etc depending on shooting mode. oh and congrats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirislin Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 you might be better off just buying it from a camera shop, not sure how much they are in shops but I suspect DWI charges alot for postage even on small items, although I'm not sure. Check before you buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Lolapalooza* Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 I just orderedone from Ebay 16gb 60mb/s for $109 that seemed like about the average price. Then I will only need one....eeeeeeeehurry up Australia post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I have heard of some cards bought on ebay being counterfiet, be careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FHRP Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I'm using a 4GB card with my new camera as DWI sent the wrong 16GB card with the order The 4GB fills up pretty fast!! An email and two phone calls later they have finally given me an address to send the wrong one back to and have agreed to send the correct one immediately after I pointed out the delay already, hoping to have it by Christmas!!!

PossumCorner Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 For over-the-counter the best prices I've seen have been at JBHiFi stores. They don't always have the fastest SandiXtreme3 but any 4g card will be handy at times, and tide you over (cheaply) until the mail comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misha&milo Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I bought a 32gb CF card from scorpion computers in wellington rd Rowville for $155 about a month ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Lolapalooza* Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 Wow thats cheap! My ebay site looks pretty legit, they are in Australia and have already sold 48 and have 99.7% based on approx 4000 reviews of all their sales of stuff. Site guarantees authentic merchandise will let u know if seems odd when I get it. Hope it hurries up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
