Nate, I grabbed one of these Wintec16gb cards for my T2i as they were very cheap and seem to have good feedback as far as reliability is concerned. That being said, I might feel slightly safer using my 8gb Sandisk Extreme but so far so good.

I use a sandisk extreme 45mb/s card with that camera. Can take 6 shots max in burst mode in case that matters before buffer is reached. I don't know of the new 95mb/s cards will offer an advantage with the possible extra 2 shots in burst mode. Might have use with video as well. Faster card might be able to clear the buffer faster but I don't know if the card is the bottleneck or the body.

Not that much more expensive than the 45mb/s card.

I just ordered two of the Sandisk Class 10 32 GB cards for $32.99/each shipped. They may not be "Extreme," but other off-brand, slower class 10 cards are fast enough for 1080p video, so I'll try these.

I recommend the eye-fi card. Fer reals.

Here's one of my latest, taken a week ago, in an area that is now under 5-6 feet of fresh snow:

Sony NEX-7 now shipping. Unfortunately, nobody seems to be selling it at the MSRP of $1199.

http://www.amazon.co...a/dp/B005IHAIEI

The price is $1199 at B&H, but it is listed as "Pre-order. Released in limited qty." ...and they don't have in stock anyway. The shots that thing takes are quite delicious.

Yikes, I checked the Amazon link again, and now they are only available from an outfit called Roberts LP for $1469! But right next to it, Ritz is selling the body+ 18-55 lens for $1349

nice image Peter.

x3, Peter. Great flowing water - how long was exposure? Did you shoot it raw, then convert to b&w, or was it just one of those grey days? Excellent work.

Shot RAW (that's the only way I ever do), adjusted in ACR, converted to B&W in CS5. It was nearing sunset, in a relatively thick forest of 50-100' pines, so light was soft, exposure was 3". I had noticed the waterfall on my hike up to a ridgetop at 9200' to do some rock climbing, and sure enough, when I was headed home, the light was right.

ouch! Yeah, sometimes you have to watch Amazon. They're good at keeping up on product availability, but when they default to someone like that...look out!

From now on, your Delta name is "Ansel"

Nikon 50mm f/1.8G on Canon 7D

^ I thought you were kidding when you posted about using a 50 1.8G on a Canon.

Manual focusing an AF lens on AF body is easier than I thought, expect for fast moving objects.

Not mine but too precious not to share.

Completely forgetting that Nikon's exposure meter is opposite from Canon's, spent the last two hours shooting at -1/3 exposure compensation when I meant to be shooting at +1/3.

Switching from Canon to Nikon is like driving on the wrong side of the road. Everytime you try to focus, zoom or even put on a lens....

I still remember when I was in my first photography class in high school, there was a girl with a Nikon, asked me about those special Canon functions.

She asked me about Av and Tv.

Arrived in one piece. By God, this is the best build quality lens I have ever seen, even higher than the Zeiss Distagon 35mm I used to have.
