Woke up this morning planning to go break in the new camera and it was RAINING!!!!! ARRGGG. Things are clearing up a bit now so maybe I will get to go out a bit later. Grabbed a bag and such for it today. Not sure what kind of battery life this thing has so fi anyone knows plz inform me!! Clovis: You have a DRebel? I was trying to set the beast up to capture RAWs but seems the option isnt on the menu, any ideas? |
I have an older D30...which has more manual controls than a Dreb but less Megapixels... (only 4)
I know they use the same batteries...and if you want me to bring some I'm down. Also...i can show you how to set it to RAW ;)
How big is your flash card though? RAW takes up massive space :eek: |

| 1gb =]. I dont go skimpy when it comes to space. Especially since im a fairly novice photographer. I want to be able to try a lot of stuff and figure out what works and what doesnt without having to sit down in the middle of the show and delete pics. On Large-Low Compression i can take about 286 pics. That should be enough hehe. Thats why Im tempted to try out RAW for the sheer photo quality that I can knock down to jpg's with PhotoshopCS (only version with RAW support if i remeber correctly). |

| Yeah everyone was telling me "Just save up a bit more and get a 10d or 20D." Frankly though, im happy with the camera considering where I am right now. Someday i will have an Olympus E1 or a 20D =]. About the batteries though, if you were bringing them anyways thats cool, but I figure that when I run out of juice it means I havent done enough dancing yet =]. |

My cousins boyfriend is a student photographer and he bought one of those. Maybe I should steal it from him if they break up.
