28Feb PRETEC 64GB SDXC card reader issues
The Pretec 64GB SDXC cards I ordered last week showed up today. Packaging looks pretty standard, though the card itself feels a little bit thicker then a standard SDHC card. I plan to put this through some speed tests and stack it up against the Sandisk Extreme 32GB 45m/s cards I have. The problem I’m having […]
21Feb Newegg 64GB SDXC card Class 16 $74.99
I was just glancing around the web on the hunt for 64GB SDXC cards and found this on Newegg. A 64GB Class 16 SDXC card for $74.99. I went ahead and ordered a few for myself before posting this. I don’t think their stock will last very long, so if you have a Canon t2i […]
20Oct SDHC to CF adapter Speed test.
The SDHC to CF card adapter showed up today. The housing is slightly larger then a standard Compact flash card but it still fits easily into a standard card reader. A few people pointed out that these adapters aren’t good for video, so i thought it would be handy to run a few speed tests with […]
17Oct SDHC to CF adapter, are they any good?
I was looking for a new SDHC card reader this morning after accidentally stepping on my spare and I came across this SDHC to CF card adapter. I have no idea how well something like this would work, but it seems like it could be handy to be able to adapt the same memory across several […]
24Aug SDHC memory card speed tests.
These are just a few of the random memory cards I have laying around the house. I thought since my collection stretches back to the Canon HF100 I might as well run a few of them through a speed test. I used H2testw 1.4 to run the tests. This is the same program I use to check […]
22Aug The SanDisk memory cards came in.
Those SanDisk prices were so good that I went ahead and ordered 2 32GB cards and 2 16GB cards. I’ve been testing out Qscale setting that are available with the magic lantern firmware updates to the Canon t2i. My Transcend Class 10 cards don’t seem to keep up with higher Qscale settings, at about -11 I start […]
21Aug Android devices as your next field monitor and camera controller?
A few months back I wrote a post about the possible use of android devices as a Camera monitor slash controller for your Canon DSLR. It only took about 3 months for the guys over at dslrcontroller to almost make it a reality. I say almost because the video record mode isn’t working quit yet in the […]
16Aug 2 SanDisk 32GB Extreme cards for $119.95
Sandisk Extreme memory cards are considered by many to be Top notch and normally you pay top notch pricing. But over the past few months, prices have seemed to drift downward. Right now B&H is offering a 2 pack of 32GB SanDisk memory cards for $119.95 which ends up being about $60 a peace. Still more […]
06Aug Hard drive failure.
Hard drive failure is a pain and although I back up drives regularly, sometimes I get lazy. Case in point, the hard drive above (Seagate momentus XT) was backed up 3 months ago. I normally try to run backups on my laptop drives at least once a month, but I was on the road the […]
26Jul Unlimited Cloud storage! Thanks Yousendit.
I’ve used yousendit to transfer large files for a long time. It’s handy and the desktop app does a great job of managing my uploads. I’ve also been considering some of the cloud storage options out there for awhile. I sometimes need to share large project files or need access to my arsenal of stills and video footage. […]
