Memory card quality

I would like to ask the members of the Forum if there is any photo quality difference between different brands of memory cards? I am using Sandisc in both my 7530 Kodak and my Canon 20d. I just want to make sure that my photos are as good as possible, especially with my new 20d. Thanks

Bill,
You may like to have a look at this site where it compares a few cards - http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/multi_page.asp?cid=6007-7303
Like all things like this, you may get a good one or be unlucky to get a bad one which fails quickly.
I feel the speed is important and I would go for the fastest I can afford (certainly not below 20x) - Although some of the cameras are not that fast when writing to the card, I think that you will find that on the 20D, if you shoot in burst mode, the buffer will clear quicker. Another reason is that when downloading via a card reader, the faster cards are much quicker.
Personally, I go for Fuji, mainly because I had a Sandisk one which was very slow and that seems to stick in my mind. There were problems with Lexar CF cards a little while back but I think they are reliable now.

  • HELP: How do I print a photograph from my computer (not from a memory card) with photo quality ?

    How do I print a photograph from my computer (not from a memory card) with photo quality ? 
    Is there a software that enables me to let the printer know that what I am sending to print is a photograph and not, for example, a document?
    I sent a photograph to print from I-Photo and from Photoshop and the printer prints it like a document, that is to say, quickly and with very poor quality...for what is a PHOTOGRAPH.
    I bought my print yesterday in Spain and Monday I must turn in a printing job at work. Pleas help. (Today is already Saturday.)
    Thanks

    In OSX when you go to file and print you will usually get a window that pops up with print settings.
    In 10.6 it may only show you the printer to use, and the preset to use, but you can click the square to the right of that with a triangle in it to view more options.
    From here there is a drop down for paper type/quality, where you can select photo paper, and a higher quality, then go to print.
    The following link will actually show screenshots of these settings and how to navigate them:

  • Why is the memory capacity of a digital camera's memory card relevant?

    Hi All,
    I'm new to all this . I have a question "Why is the memory capcity of a digital camera's memory card relevant?"
    Thanks
    Maggie

    Why is the memory capcity of a digital camera's memory card relevant?
    It is not to Photoshop.
    But to the photographer it is extremely relevant.  It determines how many images (influenced by "quality") your camera can hold before running out of room to store pictures. A larger memory capacity for your camera will allow you to take and store more and/or higher quality images.
    ("Quality" in this case is determined by  image size- the number of pixels making up the image in your camera and image "compression" -  how much JPG formatting will effect your image.)
    (attempted analogy coming... watch out!)
    Think of the camera memory card as a linen closet to store down pillows. A small closet you can store 10 pillows on a shelf. Double the size of the closet and you can store 20 down pillows.
    You also have the choice to stuff the down pillows in small sacks, allowing you to store even more pillows in the closet. The problem is after cramming the down pillows into the small container, they come out battered and not as nice as they were before storage.
    Linen Closet = Memory Card
    Down Pillows = images
    Small sacks to stuff pillows into = JPG compression.
    (and to add this this questionable analogy... the better down pillows have more feathers, and take up more room in the linen closet)
    Feathers = pixels

  • Canon 5D Mark ii Memory Card/CF Problem - Overwriting pic

    Hello,
    I have had my Canon 5D Mark ii for a year and a half now and love it. However, from time to time I have issues with the memory card/ memory card reader and it is really acting up right now.  I have tried a couple of different memory cards, so I don't believe that the actual card is the issue.  What happens is that the first pic comes out fine and then the next picture overwrites the one I just took and has a pink striped part through part of the pic.  If I take a third pic it will overwrite it again and the whole pic will be very washed out and have that same pink strip through it.  The only thing that works is taking out the memory card and putting it back in. I'm missing lots of pics lately though!  See below for pic examples.  In the second pic you can see the pink strip at the top.  Any ideas as to what the problem could be? We are going to the beach in a few weeks and I really want my camera to work! Thanks!!! ~ Stacie

    Stacie,
    Almost always things like this are the fault of the CF card but not entirely.  The things you need to know and do are....
    Buy top quality cards like Snadisk or Lexar.  Get them from known good retailers. Usually 4GB, 8BG or 16GB is best.
    Only format the CF card with the camera, never with a computer.  Format the CF card before each important shoot.
    Have spares.
    Another important factor is to set the camera back to factory defaults whenever you see someting you don't know how it happened!
    You may want to reinstall your camera's firmware and this is a good time to make sure it is the latest from Canon.
    Go to the 5D Mk II web page.
    And card readers go bad.  Get a new one.  They are cheap.  Even the USB port in your computer can fail so try a different port or another computer.
    It is also possibilt that one or two of the very tiny pins in the CF card slot have been bent over.  Use a flash light to see it they are all upright.
    I use the entire line of 5D's and they are truly great cameras.  You will love it.

  • Is there any difference in importing movies to iMovie direct from memory card or first importing the movie to the hard drive?

    Is there any difference in method:
    1) importing movies directly from memory card (class 10) to iMovie
    2) copying the content of the memory card to my hard drive and from there I import it to iMovie
    I mean, is there any quality issues? The latter method is really much faster.

    AndersD_Vasa wrote:
    … I mean, is there any quality issues?
    No.
    The copy of the card is a 'bit-identical clone' - no difference to the 'original'.
    Plus a superb method to back-up originals....
    I copy all my original recordings first onto some hard-drive - SDcards are much to 'fragile' in my experience....

    Hello Nello,
    For Voip i´m using the native bundle phone, and it works well, if your account is SIP. Actually the only problem for me is the Codec priority order, it start in G.711, and if takes around 85K, that takes some sensibility on band avaibility on tour network , special if you have an ADSL with with an upload close to 128K as me.
    I have a note on this discution, but till now i dont have any clue to change this priotity!,

  • Where is the best place to buy memory card?

    Where is the best place to buy a memory card for my nokia n73?
    And what is the best brand to buy. Do 1gb memory cards work well for a nokia n72?
    Please reply,
    Thanks.

    Bought all my memory cards from mobymemory.com. Got a 1gb sandisk ultra II for £23. Next day delivery for orders before 3 too. Never had any problems and even ordered cards for friends phones. All very happy with price and quality.
    P.S. buy the name you know and one size bigger than you think you need. My 1gb has enough room for 300 mp3's or nearer 900 in nokia's format. If pictures are your thing should easy hold over 800 images on the highest setting.

  • Help! nokia 6300 memory card problem

    i bought sd 2gb memory card and it won't let me download more than 500 mb onto it! the memory status shows that there is plenty left but if i try to download any more - or even move an image from phone to memory card - it tells me that operation failed! i did format the card and it didn't help
    help!

    try to reinstall your current firmware (after backing up all your important data first) or see if there is an update for your 6300 via nokia software updater. but i think there is a problem with your memory card rather than your phone, as can happen with normal USB flash drives when copying files to them, they suddenly give up and start giving strange errors. so maybe try replacing your card with a better quality new one.
    hope this helps

  • How many hours of video do I get with 4GB or more on a memory card?

    I'm going on a vacation for four days and I'm assuming I'll be recording around an hour each day. How many GB's should I look for in a memory card? I thought there would be some easy to find standards on this, but I guess I have to consider fps and possibly other factors like the type of camcorder or memory card. More specifically, I'm interested in the Kodak - Pocket Video Camera which records in HD, if I purchased an 8 GB memory card and recorded at 30 fps, would this suffice?

    Yimi wrote:
    @ Cdy291, that's helpful, but I can't find where you found that info on their site, so I can look up similar information like how many minutes I get to a GB, recording in VGA mode...
    @ Entropy, 2 hours on a 16GB card that costs from 80 to 100 dollars is just riduculous to me, I want a decent looking video, but I'm not filming a wedding or anything. Really, I just want as much video time for each MB as possible without quality suffering too, too bad. I'm curious about the standard recording quality that you mentioned, I figured HD is the new "standard" and most camcorders record in HD. The camcorder I'm interested in records in VGA as well which is supposably 480x640 pixel resolution, I'm wondering if this would be considered standard definition? If VGA isn't that bad in quality, I'm still trying to figure out if I can get away with buying an 8GB card and have more than 2 hours and 40 mintues in HD 30 fps.
    VGA is standard definition.  You'll get a lot more time out of it.
    Also, flash memory is currently $30-40 per 16GB card, not 80-100, depending on brand and speed rating.  (The Transcend Class 6 cards I use in my HF100 currently sell for $40, and I'm looking at a Kingston Class 4 card for $30.)
    Given the choice between a "cheap" HD camcorder and using it in SD mode (like some of the pocket units) and a "good" SD camcorder, I'd go with the good SD camcorder, like a Canon FS200 or one of Panasonic's flash memory camcorders.
    Canon makes excellent units but unfortunately their FS series only offers electronic image stabilization, not optical image stabilization.  For a standard def unit you may want to go with Panny.

  • 512mb memory card

    If I have a 512mb memory card and I want to know how many photographs can be loaded onto it do I change 512mb to 512000Kb and divide an average pic size - say of 600kb into the 512000kb? (= 853 pics does not sound right)
    This is to load a memory card for a Digital Photoframe for a Christmas present - I'm not sure how Gbs and Mbs breakdown relative to each other and also Kbs.
    All a bit elementary I know but the sums past me by a long time since.
    cheers
    Steve
    eMac   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Stephen:
    Here's what my Canon S400 camera can store on a 512 MB card:
    1024 x 768 - normal quality = 2717 ------- 48 KB
    1024 x 768 - fine quality = 1524 --------- 136KB
    1024 x 768 - superfine quality = 855 ------ 288 KB
    Moving up in size:
    1600 x 1200 - normal quality = 1735 --------144KB
    1600 x 1200 - fine quality = 879 -----------400KB
    1600 x 1200 - superfine quality = 491 ------766KB
    Moving further up in size:
    2272 x 1704 - normal quality = 879 --------344KB
    2272 x 1704 - fine quality = 442 -----------904KB
    2272 x 1704 - superfine quality = 247 ------1.6MB
    So depending on the size and compression of the files you're using you have room for quite a few.

    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application, iPhoto dB file backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Memory card...USB FlashDrive...DVDs..?

    I'm curious what would be the better storage for images, Memory Card, USB Stick or DVD disks ?
    Is it USB stick ?
    What do you think, people?

    snappir:
    For what purpose are you storing? Short or long term? If this if for archival purposes I'd use DVDs. Look for archival quality DVDs, burn at a slow speed and store in a safe place. A safe deposit box would be a good place if you already have one. It's temperature and usually humidity controlled. Or make a couple of copied of each and store one off site as a relatives house.
    Each year I burn the last's years photos to DVD and give copies to each of out kids. That gives me three copies plus mine.

  • LR 3.3 doesn't allow "Add" for images on memory card?

    Hi there,
    so far I've been using LR 3.2 and as part of my workflow I simply used "Add" for import to index the files on my memory card, inspected them and move unwanted files to trash, etc. before moving the remainder over to my NAS storage for further work. Now in LR 3.3 I can only select "Copy as DNG" and "Copy" as possible operations on my memory card, no "Move", no "Add".
    What's up with that? Any way to fix that or do I really need to downgrade to 3.2 to be able to work again?
    Any help would be really appreciated.

    First of all: Thanks for all your suggestions how I might change my workflow to make it more secure and work with LR even in the future. It's really appreciated. However, and I know I'm repeating myself here, I deliberately bought LR specifically because one of 3 or 4 options that supported my established and perfectly working workflow; if I didn't care I would be using Aperture now since it is not only cheaper but has some quite clever features even LR doesn't have. BTW: If I didn't care about the UI I would be using Bibble which also supports my workflow but is inferior in usage and processing quality IMHO. LR 3.2 has broken my workflow in a very subtle but nasty way and there's just no way I will change my workflow just to keep continue using LR. I want to be absolutely independent of any vendor -- working with catalogs/libraries/databases is okay as long as it's only for temporary memorization of changes.
    degger, I can understand your desire to do a review of the images before having to copy them anywhere, be it a temporary or final location. It could certainly save some time if there are a lot of images that simply don't need to ever make it off the card. Where I get a little confused is that you don't seem to be wanting to do it to save time. You cite bandwidth and storage concerns, and working off a laptop.
    I'm not sure how extra steps and copies would save me any time. Really, it doesn't get any faster than this:
    1) Index/Render preview of all images on card
    2) Inspect those images and remove coasters (note that inspection might require zooming, comparing images for the best shots, applying some temporary modifications like rotation/crop/exposure correction to check whether the RAW base is good enough for later use)
    3) Move the remainder of the images (RAW+JPEG) to their final destination and clear the card
    4) "Add" the images from their final location into LR again and apply the real modifications, exporting the results back to the final location
    Simple, minimizes burden on "final destination", minimizes local disc space use and is safe enough for my use.
    As I said before: memory cards can and will(!) break at any point of their use, during shooting, during the creation of on-site backups, when pulling them on their laptop, etc. pp. The extra risk of my workflow is so close to zero that I really don't care whether a card fails or not. I'd rather use many smaller cards than one big one so I don't lose all of my photos at once and I empty them as often as I can rather than having them sit around forever. Also if you ever hit the delete button on your camera that at least as unsafe as deleting them locally.
    What I do care about is that "final destination" is safe and I mean that in every possible sense of the word.
    I didn't see you mention the quantities of images or data you're coming home with, so I'll take what I think is a pretty safe over-the-top estimate of two full 64gb cards per shoot. You say it's a major concern for you, working on a laptop, that you don't have enough local storage to act as a buffer for the images before you delete unwanted images. I guess I'm confused as to how you wouldn't have 128gb of space to act as temporary storage, even on a laptop. I know you say explicitly in one post that you don't, I just don't see how. A $100 drive upgrade doesn't strike me as a major roadblock in a complex storage strategy for someone with networked RAIDs and offsite backup. I could understand if this were a backlog issue, and you weren't sorting through images right away and there wouldn't be enough room for multiple shoots to sit in temporary storage. But that's clearly not the case since your workflow currently deals with the images before they're even off the cards. Spending a bit of money to get a larger drive might not be ideal, and it would require a bit of a change to your workflow but it seems like an awfully easy solution to this problem.
    Right now I have 340,7 MB space on my harddrive free. That'll be like 10 GB once I cleared all that garbage I had to create to deal with this very LR issue. Every changed the harddrive on MacBook Pro? I don't think so; it's a royal PITA and requires a lot more effort than just walking into a store and buying a new harddrive.
    I'm using brand 8GB cards BTW, many of them. I don't trust bigger cards because if they break I'll lose many more pictures. I usually carry more than 1 camera with me and I normally don't fill up the cards completely because it still is a hobby not a profession and I don't intend to turn it into one either.
    I also don't follow the use of the trash as a safety net. I know it's not part of your workflow, just something that saves your hide from time to time, but it is very much working against the current. Just like I said previously, if you leave your cards untouched during this whole injest/sort/archive process, no matter what you do or happens to your local copies you will have the original copies on the card until you stick it back in the camera and hit format. Deleting a file (moving it to the trash) during the review/import process is introducing needless complexity, whereas just leaving the card alone offers some innate data security.
    Really what happens when moving a file to the trashcan is a rewrite of the FAT table to have the files point to the new position inside a special directory name .Trash or something. I agree each write is dangerous to the safety of the card but it's not like we're talking about intensive writes or non-atomic operations here; the data itself remains untouched but it's directory entry is moved out of the way. As far as I recall I never had to recover any images from the trash but it makes me feel a little safer should I ever select the wrong image before hitting "Delete Photos...". And no, it doesn't introduce any complexity at all. Extra complexity is when LR has to import and render full size previews of images that are known to be rubbish and expect extra slowdown when keeping LR open for a long amount of time and doing many operations; my approach starts always with a fresh catalog and I can easily process my images in small batches to keep memory requirements down.
    Before using LR I had to use a different programm just to preview the JPEG images and delete the RAW+JPEG pairs manually which was more of a PITA so I was glad to figure out that LR 2 had the capability to actually deals with the photos on card.
    I actually don't see a problem with how your managing your file structure. It's nearly identical to how I do mine, but unlike you I have never run into an issue where I need to split up an event/session into multiple folders. Even with multi-camera shoots, a single event directory should be able to (for a Nikon camera, at least) hold at least [N * 9999] photos, where N is the number of bodies. How many cards you use during an event shouldn't factor into folder structure at all, unless you do it on purpose. Making another assumption here, but 10,000 photos in a single even is pretty unusual. If I have my camera configured correctly, even if I used 100 512mb cards for an event, as long as I stay below 10,000 shots per camera body, they can all go into the same folder without any naming conflicts.
    Great, I don't see any problem either. Also all my cameras have different naming schemes so the names don't clash.
    I would think moving the files to the NAS is equally as free, with comparable speeds over gigE. The offsite backup is the only part of this equation that could really become more costly as data levels increase. But, even el cheapo cloud backup services and bottom tier home broadband plans offer unlimited data storage and bandwidth; there's no unit variable cost even if you were to backup an entire shoot and decide a week later to trash every single shot. I know there are situations where those kinds of variable costs do come into play, but even with relatively expensive Amazon S3, the cost of transferring and storing 25% bad shots from even a large shoot isn't what I would consider cost prohibitive for a photographer doing that much shooting with an already expensive storage solution.
    Okay, let me explain. My "bad" shot ratio is more like 80% rather than 25% due to the (sometimes) excessive amount of bursts to catch certain happenings or expressions. "Bad" shots consists of duplicates, shaken shots, undesired motion blur, bad expression/closed eyes, bad framing, bad exposure other bad settings or just my own trigger slowness, etc. pp. .   I have several levels of backup, ranging from online on-site unversioned to online on-site versioned to a second RAID over online off-site versioned to an encrypted hosted storage facility to off-line versioned and encrypted to external harddrives I keep at several locations. The versioned backups, especially of-site are a real problem here, the versioning is happening on a hourly basis so any change within on hour will be recorded and kept for at least half a year including long-deleted files. I do have limited upstream bandwitdh and I pay for both local and offsite storage capacity and for excess upstream traffic to my server.
    Again. Photography is a hobby and I already invest quite a lot in it but there have to be boundaries.
    For the import process it seems like you're using now, and looking to continue to use in the future, I'm wondering what you wouldn't be able to do just in the Finder. You've said the actual Lr database isn't of much value to you, so at the import stage why not just run through the images in Finder, delete whatever you want to right them, and then move on to any Lr specific or NAS activities from there. You'll still have the same use of the Trash, and it's easy enough to use quickview, large icon previews, and a shortcut key to assing a Finder label to bad images. Then just sort by labels and hit delete. I'm not honestly suggesting that as a good option, but it certainly is an option and seems to fill most of your requirements, especially since it doesn't care where the files are.
    That's exactly what I've been doing all along. Two problems: Preview capabilities are really limited and I have to delete the RAW+JPEG pairs manually.
    Then LR came along and now Adobe took the newly won comfort away.
    I find it hard to believe that your simply not having a few extra gigs of HD space on your laptop or using a different backup service would create such a distinct workflow that the (fairly extensible) Lr import/management system becomes useless. But hey, maybe it does.
    Indeed it does.

  • Problem with 5300 and 2 GB memory card

    Hi,
    I just bought 5300 phone and 2 gb micro sd card, sandisk.
    And I am now storing music files to the card via usb connection and phone is shown to pc as a disk.
    It transfers 990 MB of music and after that is says card is full.
    From gallery it shows memory card as 2 gb card, and full status is 990 MB, free fine also. I tried transfer also with music manager same result. Like the 1 gb is the limit somehow.
    Is it ?

It took for a while till I discovered that the problem somehow relates to the memory card. When it was removed the phone worked fine (no flashing, no switch off). I reformatted the memory card and everything worked fine till the next switch off. Then it started again. I updated the software (V 04.70), but it didn't help. I'm not 100% sure but it seems to me that the problem relates to the music player which tries to update the music library after the switch off and somehow it freezes the phone.
    Any idea how to solve this?
    In short because I don't have a 5300 - No ...
    However - something to try is to see if your card works without problems on a PC (via USB card reader) or laptop (some have memory card slots built in)
    Lastly on Nokia's 5300 webpage it states that they only recommend using authorised cards ... it might be worth seeing if you experience the same issue with Nokia's own 2Gb microSD card ?

  • How can I get Verizon to return my memory card- There screw up

    After screaming about 1x a week with this new pre-paid SAMSUNG phone, I finally was able to get the store to take the phone and replace it.  Sadly, I was so frustrated with Verizon for my phone never working, and  getting the run around, that I was glad to get the "we will get you a new one".
    Wasn't happy that they can't just give me a new one off the wall. (that would be 50 bucks please. (phone was 30 days old).
    SO, The guy behind the counter advised me, I would get a new one.  Took battery, I asked if  things were backed up, and he said "yes", the backup synch was set up. "like OK".
    So, removed battery and the lid, and the case I bought for it, took my old phone and said wait for new one. (came in today).
    I didn't even think of getting my 8GB memory card from the old phone at the time I left the store.
    This was 3 days ago (26th of Dec). Today, my new phone came in, it was not synching, not doing the backup right, and then I realized my memory card was not there.
    Nicely called the help desk thinking I was calling the store where i returned the phone.  NOPE, got tech support in a different state after 14 minutes of listening to switch witch and running around with button pushing. Just to be told "contact the store diectly".
    Headed to store, advised of what happened, and the cheerful guy with hte IPAD, typing your name, pretty much said " to bad".  It's goneft
    No help. Just me trying to stay calm, after the head-aches with this phone.  And now I am out an 8GB memory card, that Verizon, in their haste, never took time to remove (but did the battery), and I forgot to remove it myself.
    Now, I want Verizon to replace the memory card.  Their phone was bad, every week complained about this phone, and in 30 days, I now had to get it replaced.
    I take error in not remembering to get it. BUT, figured the techs behind the scenes would have thought of this.
    Anyone know of whom I can contact to ask VZN for a new card?  I lost some vital pics and info from my realtor, and have to bite that, but this wouldn't have  happened, if I could have gotten some satisfactory service, and I still ended up 3 days without a phone.

    I admit, I did screw up for not checking. I was just soo steamed with the customer support and going back and forth with phone and offices in Charleston, SC and here in VA, I was just getting frustrated with this phone that i had for 1 week, and couple with the craziness of the hustle trafflc of customers during the holidays.
    Just a lot of crazy here, but my new phone is in, I had to get the service center to  reset things, as the backup synch wasn't right, and I will get a new card.
    I just wanted a new phone that worked, and oversaw the issues.  This isn't the first time I had to return a phone, but last time, it was a slower pace, and no issues, and I  reminded myself to get the card out.
    Got 99% of my contacts. Just wishing there was somehow to track the phone, and have hope, but it was nothing that was life critical.. And cost of new cars is cheap.
    Chalk up to "pay attention"....  but oh, the frustration of 6 visits to the stores in 32 days I had that phone.  Ahh!
    Happy New Year, and thanks for the replies....
