Lol, that's what I told you before(or was it other people?), u not gonna use D90 when u have D700, the D90 feels so suck after using D700  cry.gif

I second that though. To me snapping the moment is better than changing lens for better quality photos.
D300 works well as my "second body". I don't have to sweep lens, unless I have all the time, for example my college assignments like taking still object photos and etc. In fast moving event like Comic Fiesta, I don't sweep lens at all. 17-35 on my D3s and 70-200 on D300 full time. smile.gif

18-55 can focus quite close one right? But 35mm f2 and 17-35 f/2.8 is even closer if not mistaken smile.gif

I might grab one of these during the next PC Fair.
Glad to hear that!

I bought the Apacer AM500 after hearing a lot of good reviews about it being fast and all, but it only does about 25mbps on my Extreme CF sad.gif.

Not your card reader problem. Your computer hard disk and processor problem. They can't cope with the speed.

My AM400 can transfer at 50-60MB/s to Dell Workstation and Mac Pro.
To my asus laptop about 25-30MB/s. dry.gif

30MB/s is lame. I always complain when I backup pictures into my laptop vmad.gif

Computer hard disk and processor problem?

Does a processor really matter here? I use an old E8400, C2D 3GHz system. HDD is a Samsung spinpoint f3, definitely capable of doing more than 30MB/s easily.

Side note, went to check and found out AM400 can not read CF. SD cards copied to your PC at 50-60MB/s? omg.
Maybe, see how it goes. Getting annoyed already with the slow speed.

Something is really wrong with your info source. Check again. dry.gif

With that computer spec you mentioned above, my laptop also about the same spec. That's why I get same speed also. My desktops is 8 cores(twin processors) and 12 cores(twin westmere processors) respectively, plus using raid 0 config and SSD. That's why I can achieve that speed.

i am using the same card reader. But not sure why everytime my CF card will get ejected automatically before transfer complete using Lightroom.  vmad.gif
Now connect D700 straight to the computer when transferring photo

I never transfer with Lightroom. Always get bug one. Copy or cut the photos directly from the memory card to you computer, then only load from Lightroom. It's the same. smile.gif

Don't have to be SSD also. RAID 0 also can achieve quite a good speed already to be honest. And many people still look down on the power of USB2.0. Trust me, not even many people believe that USB2.0 can work faster than your built in SATA2 at certain conditions doh.gif

I am not quite a spammer but I never hesitate on shooting. Why save your shutter? Not like you take a few more photos will reach 100k so soon. And don't ever worry about reaching 100k and your camera will spoil. I used my ex D40 for 1 year+ and resulted in 20k+- shutter only (without saving shutter count). Heck, when I sold it it's still clicking perfectly.

OT: @edwardgsk you mentioned RAID 0, i've read about RAID in some websites but still can't get a hang of how to make my harddisks into RAID 0 or any RAID number.

Can u pm me a guide of how to change it? And is it possible to change to Raid 0 without format? thanks
*
Can't be helped. Many new DSLR user very concern about shutter count one. They think 100k or 150k shutter count very easy to reach like that.
Think it as salary money. Even if earn RM3k per month, don't want makan or minum also think easy wanna save up till RM100k or RM150k meh doh.gif

You don't need RAID to be able to write at 60MB/s.

Of course no need. But due to operating system and apps running at a same time, copying to internal HDD at 60MB/s is damn hard to achieve for normal HDD in market. But so far those people I know who using Extreme card or Extreme Pro card never complain their computer cannot copy at their card's respective speed lo.
