SDHC cards (for camera)

Is 32gb the largest you can get at this moment in time, or am I looking in the wrong places?! thanks


Posted by smekzg on Dec-22-2009 18:26:

you have a Hasselblad or something?

why do you need so much space!?

and yeah, i'm pretty sure that 32 is the biggest now. Stu will know better..

32gb is the biggest for time and all eternity. SDHC maxes out at 32gb. SDXC is anything above 32gb.

I seriously have no idea what to do tbh. I have hd shooting video-wise which would be good and just would rather pay a tiny bit more for a load more space, a lways have plenty than not enough. Also since I plan to keep this camera for upto 10+ years if possible, then it makes sense to buy once


Thanks Ben, question sorted

Looks pretty good. Leica lenses are among the best for point-and-shoot cameras.

Aperture could be a little better, but it's certainly not bad.

Aye. I mean I don't need an SLR, i will never be that good but I like to take pics and esp when I'm abroad, recapture the moments, and often on my old camera they just never came out right, but this has good reviews and I took some advise from people before going for it. Should do what I need

Yeah, it's a bit of a pain in the arse travelling with a DSLR too. I'm heading off on holiday for a week or so this afternoon, and my camera backpack is loaded up with cam + 2 big lenses + 3 small lenses + flash + laptop

The Panasonic will take great pics, I'm sure

speaking of SLRs

Stu, can you recommend me a cheap entry level DSLR?

i was looking at these two: Alpha 300 and E520 but i dunno..

should i go with one of them or is there a better option(in the similar price range)?

Out of those 2, I'd probably recommend the Sony, purely as the sensor quality is better. I don't know too much about Sony/Olympus gear though, since all my gear is Canon. Both of those cams have the advantage of having image stabilisation in the body itself, rather than in the lens, but I'd still recommend checking out some of the entry level Canon cams.

The Canon xSi/450D is still a pretty good (and cheap) buy for an entry level camera. You just have to work out what kind of lens you want to use with it. The kit lenses you get with the body are never really that good (mostly, anyway).

Edit: The Olympus cam there is also pretty fucking small. My gf has an E620 for a back-up body and I find it annoying to use, since I have big hands.

And?

ps: Bryan, you could easily go to the SD Association website and confirm exactly what I have said. I am not going to perpetuate bullshit like you are implying.

Do you honnestly believe that camera will last you 10+ year?? or maybe you put a zero too many in there

for what I need personally, yeah. I'm not a photowhore, I just like to take good memories with me. I've had 5 or 6 years out of this one before which wasn't that good so I don't see why I can't in the future. I don't "have" to have new technologies etc so by buying a reasonable one now, hopefully it'll do what I need for a long time

thanks for the tips!
i will probably go with a sony, i have bad experience with olympus(compacts but whatever).
Canon is a bit over the price range and the difference isnt that big, and i need good lens right away since i wont be able to invest in the system much for some time..

cheers
