EOS 350D First Pics!!!

[Polarbert]

Well here they are, I had to use microsoft resizer to be able to host them on photobucket as the files are pushing 4-5mb each! This camera makes crap look good! Im sure I could take a photo of anything with it and it would look amazing!

Does the 350 not come with some useful editing software? Including a powerful re-sizing capability?

Probably, haven't had a chance to look at it all properly yet.

Get a 500MB / 1GB CF card, set the camera to record RAW.

Download Rawshooter Essentials (FOC) from

www.pixmantec.com/products/rawshooter_essentials.asp

And enjoy the 350

Thanks for that Pete, I've ordered 2X 1gb cards which should suffice. Whats the advantage of RAW over JPEG?

[pete_w]

Lack of data loss. In-camera JPEG compression is not good. RAW format enables better post-processing from the outset and provides more efficient tools for image manipulation.

when tyring to get raw pics on the pc what is the quickest way. I got a D5 and find it soooooo slow when putting pics onto my pc. the pc is only 6 months old and cost £2000 so ots not that. could it be the program i use to transfer them, or is its just the camera slow ( camera is 3 months old)

cheers

There is a maximum amount of data you can move over a particular transport mechanism in a period of time. USB and USB2.0 have different transfer speeds - assuming you get the theoretical maximum transfer rate, a full 1GB card would take

USB1.1 - 12Mbps: 11mins 21 seconds
USB2.0 - 480Mbps: 17 seconds.

How long are you seeing it take to copy files?
