big mansion. wonder who the owner ><

hey guys..
i'm goin for scuba diving at perhentian mid of next month. currently, i only hv 8GB card. do you think it's sufficient?
or shld i buy another 8GB or 16GB during the pc fair in another 2 weeks time?
btw. I'm goin for 2 weeks china trip in june. pls advice on this. thanks.

non nikon user, and just lurking ....

but since 2 upcoming trip, just get another 8gb la

Go travelling, always bring along extra/spare/backup accessories, especially memory cards and batteries.
Just later don't be lazy to clean up the memory cards then ok, haha.

for 2 weeks trip in china. do u think 2 x 8GB card is enough?

imo if u really shoot really a lot and then when back only handpick out nice one, and shoot all in RAW, then your 2 weeks trip is all holiday trip, 2x 16gb maybe also not enough :S


best is take a small laptop with you, everyday transfer the photo in there.....but if you don't have, then bo huat liao

if u ask me i think that u should consider battery life as well.. get a spare batt if u dun have it. 16gb aint enuf.. bring a netbook or smth.. or at least a external hdd save it all inside when u get the chance by using hotel pc

we dont know how much u shoot... for me, 2 weeks in perth, 7.65GB. 10mp JPEG fine, 1856 pics

juz buy as much as u can. better if u can bring laptop or an external harddrive & card reader. later in china go find cybercafe to transfer ur pics when full

i can shoot 400 pics in 2 hours..err i really need 16gb x10 if can

You changed your shutter mech how many times jor...

was upset this morning coz last min cancel outing. then go out with my GF and shoot this.

anyone can help me out? what does r13 means?

that is buffer...mean when it reach 0,u have to stop awhile...

try remove and reinstall the lens about 10 times to provide a better electrical contact.

noobie1: stop shooting?
hackerzx: before this i got f--, then i remove and reinstall the lens and it solved the problem. but now got r13.

now i am blur..where is ur r13 show?? in viewfinder or what??
and what is ur problem now?? cant shoot or what??

r13 is the amount of buffer. Meaning your buffer can fit for 13 images.

Spam a bit,

thanks all for the comment on the amount of card to bring for my trip.
not possible to bring along a notebook as this is a 2 week backpacking trip and will be staying mostly in hostel or backpacker inn.
Guess the best bet is to bring at least 2 x 8GB card.

Added on March 29, 2010, 8:30 amif i not mistaken, it appear after u press the shutter release 1/2 way. then u will see the r13 being shown.

if that what he meant, then like i said in earlier post..it is ur camera buffer...mean he can only burst for 13 pic then need to stop awhile for waiting the image being written into the card...

juz curious.. is everyone else showing r13 too? or there is way to disable it?
