Mind you, they have to keep the price down somehow. [Tongue very firmly in cheek]


I was looking at the storage devices section in a local hypermarket and amongst the mass of SD cards there wasn't a single CF card on sale.
Not that I would have ever bought one from there especially as I didn't need one....but it was perhaps a sign of the times.

Better sell my D3 quick. LOL

I don't think the stock items in the local hypermarket are necessarily a good guide of high performance good quality camera card interfaces? Esp D3. ;-)

Not wishing to cast nasturtiums on the D3 but I think much of the credit for Eric's wonderful images have to be attributed to the user.

YOU in a Bolshi mood...you should have had my day yesterday.

8 hours photographing bedrooms at a Best Western hotel!

Bl**dy guests checking out late...delaying them being set up.
Bl**dy guests checking in early...changing room shoot schedule.

Rambling old hotel, miles of corridors over 4 storeys ......I was up and down like a whore's drawers.

I was having nightmares all last night. Every time I woke up I had to straighten the duvet, pillows and curtains.


:needsahug:

Sorry.  I did a job last year in a multi-storey motel here in Adelaide.  Your tale reminded me of me, going up and down from room to room - and bursting in on a supposedly unoccupied room; to find it very much occupied.

They were a bit grumpy that I had let myself in with the pass card - but it was well after check out time.   :devil:

The hotel tale reminds me of when I was on holiday overhearing a couple ... She: The sun`s shining , shopping is cheap and you want to stay inside ?! ...He: for thirty euro`s a day You bet , I want my money`s worth !!

I have BAD experiences with SD cards , several times has such one gone dead on me , one moment it works a moment later its dead, in 2008 I got a Sandisk Xtreme III 4Gb CF card for my SlrN , the camera has a power-up time of 8 sec. but with that Sandisk X III it was 12 sec. I thought that the SlrN could not handle such a big card , as in those days 4Gb was Huge , wheras a Lexar 1Gb worked flawlessly , over the years power-up became all the way up to 35 sec. crashing at power-up and during mid-shoot , shutting off was n`t enough , the Batt. had to be pulled out , I kept on thinkin`"the card `s too big" , as both the Lexars and Ultra 2 Gb ( Sandisk ) kept on workin` Flawlessly , Then I got a Lexar 8 Gb( Eight ) CF card , and Everything was WELL and still is , it then dawned on me that the Sand.X III 4Gb is faulty , but it kept plodding on , unlike those #"ยค%& SD flops , so therefor my Aversion ,
 I`m simply allergic to SD:rudi:

..yet with Nikon`s conservative`s strategy, taking years to come out with a new camera  , I will have No choice but to succumb to SD once again , that Df is a Charm !! ..
