Samb 0 #1 December 6, 2004 How many photos can you take with this cam in 30 secends? See a lot of users complains about the speed. I have spend about 4 hours on previous comments posted. It has been a great help so far. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimoke 0 #2 December 6, 2004 from my jumps about 12-13 . I just timed it at home and it shot 15 large jpeg mode. it shoots off about 8 images in the first 11 sec then it slows down to process. in a normal 14k tandem skydive I average about 22 freefall pics. I use a 512mb card, I am not sure if a bigger faster card would do it? hope this helps with your descision. you won't be disappointed with a digi rebel.......I'm not.

bskyz 0 #3 December 7, 2004 Just wanted to add another factor to consider -the speed of the CF card that you use. I was using a regular CF card (don't know what speed, it was generic), and when I switched to a high-speed card there was a noticeable difference in the write speed, and the speed of the shots taken.

DaGimp 0 #4 December 7, 2004 the size of the card and the write speed do make a diffrnect....once your card gets about a little over half full, it takes a little longer to write to it. the original scandisk CF cards are the cheep ones....slowest write speed, if you get the Scandisk Ultrra II they are the better ones, a little more pricy, but 9mb write speed. And you can get the 1GB ultra II chip for about $130....i got yesterday"Professor of Pimpology"~~~Bolas Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon2 2 #5 December 7, 2004 I'm at work now (yeah working real hard lol) but at home I got an mp3 file somewhere, comparing the 300D shutter speed with that of the D70. After hearing that, the choice is easy!! ciel bleu, Saskia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon2 2 #6 December 7, 2004 Good cards for the digi rebel (and D70 too): SanDisk Ultra, San disk Ultra II, San Disk Extreme, PQI, Lexar high speed. These are all approx. the same speed when used with the 300D. ciel bleu, Saskia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon2 2 #7 December 7, 2004 Can't locate it on the net, so for the moment the D70 vs 300D mp3 is here: http://www.12000ft.com/fun/nikond70vscanoneos300d.mp3 It's only 20 secs of each, but you can extrapolate... ciel bleu, Saskia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
turtlespeed 226 #8 December 7, 2004 It also depends on what settings you use in your camera. I use auto focus alot, and it tends to give me a just slightly slower frame rate. I'll be upgrading to a diferent lense soon and I think that will at least make up the difference.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
