I have two 2GB CF cards and that is plenty. I offload them to an ARCHOS AV420 (with a build in CF slot if i really need to but normally I don't (I don't shoot in RAW normally).
why wouldn't you shoot in RAW



I just have a 1gb and 2gb card, haven't ran out of room yet. Recently picked up the 2gb.

Unless you are a professional photographer, i would say 99% of most shots are fine with "full" size jpgs run through photoshop (if you even need that level). I don't know too many people churning out to poster sized prints.

you can always reduce quality, it's hard to add.


The control you have with raw is worth it's pricetag. I don't see why anyone wouldn't shoot in raw if they have the ability.

The only 3 things you need

you may or may not find this handy (plugin for windows to preview RAW files):
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

You can use the included bundled software for editing. Personally, I use Bibble Pro and Adobe Photoshop CS2.


The main advantage with Bibble is speed, but's a lot of money

I was tempted to buy one today. I was thinking about used, but for the ~$80-100 I'd save, since I'm planning on having it forever I'd rather just buy new . I want a 580EX really badly aswell, I hate cameras

a Very old one...those were taken today, along with about 100 others, just messing around with it. Basically just point and shoot with minimal focusing even.

I could use a new copy though.
