![]() I would like to try a macro light one day. I have an umbrella and a softbox now, so there's not much use for one on the stuff I shoot at the moment. But at that price, Might be worth a shot. |

The SSHD does allow me to bring my laptop totally up and into a program in 20-sec. from dead off. That's very nice, particularly if you do presentations in board rooms and ever have to reboot in a meeting with a hard stop in 15-minutes. I wish that it were easier to get a SSHD on a desktop. Generally you have to order it as a separate, additional HD, not as the primary, like you can do on a laptop. The don't hold as much data, but that doesn't bother me because I have terabytes of external memory attached anyway. Dave

You're right Dave. The graphics card is also important. But, I guarantee you that you'll see a more significant performance boost with an SSD over a newer graphics card (as long as it's less than 5 years old).

Heeding DxO's advice, I only process three 25MB at a time, to avoid making the program shuffle info back and forth to the HD. Perhaps if I tried to process 4 or 6 at a time on the SSHD would be faster. As it is, I'm very happy with the 4 to 10 sec. that it's taking now. The Average is around 6-sec. Still, I might be able to take advantage of my SSHD by processing more at once. I may experiment with that. Dave

![]() ![]() Seriously, though, where do you see that? (I'm not doubting you, I'm just trying to improve my BS metering.)

Hey Chewy, I have two UDMA 600x 16GB CF cards. I know the 30D won't take advantage of the speed, but do you know if it will at least write to those cards? If not, I may need to pick up a cheapo 133x 4GB card if I even want to test the 30D from CL.

No rush, Chewy. This camera has been on CL for a week now. I don't think it's going anywhere.

Actually, I know for a fact the 8gb version of the card I linked works fine on my 20D, since I used it in that camera before. I haven't tried the 16gb one on the 20D though.

And 400x is still UDMA, right? Canon's site just says 2GB or larger.

This is a CW ring light rather than a ring flash? In other words it'll be lots easier to focus your images, but you'll have to rely on high shutter speed rather than short flash illumination to freeze your images. Depending on how bright the light is this might work great or might require fairly high ISOs. Let us know how it works. |
