Hi all - the retread returns...
I just made payment on a Canon EOS 40D digital camera. It will ship within 4 days. I am like a little kid who finally got his bike, diong the Snoopy dance all over my office. I haven't bought a camera body of any substance in almost 15 years, give or take. I'm all freaky about it.
Included with my deal is a 2GB CF card, likely something pretty cheap.
So - I have a question for those who use ANY brand of camera that takes CF cards: there are "fast" cards out there, and there are "Extreme" cards, and I saw an "Extreme IV" card once that apparently defies physics, or at least costs like it does. I will be doing weddings and portraiture. Do I need thermonuclear, high-powered, lightspeed CF cards that can write data so fast the theory of relativity is challenged and the workd ceases to rotate? I just dropped a thousand bucks on a camera body, so I'd better get used to the fact that it's going to be hungry for accessories (just wait until I start whining about flashes...), but my budget will be pretty finite going forward.
Thoughts?
Cheers all,
Rick
