Yeah.

Yeah.

32MB of PURE AWESOMENESS.

Ok, so you may be wondering about this picture. It's not 32MB of write speed it's...well..32MB's of storage. Here's the deal= I started out with a 2GB card...works fine. Great, even. With RAW I get around 200 photos, with large J-peg I get around 500. With the 4 gb...well, it's 2x so you can do the math. I bought the extra card (the 4gb) because I wanted to make sure that I always had room to shoot just in case something happened like I lost a card (I'm usually good about the number of pics I take...If I'm outside I never fill the memory card).

This weekend posed a problem (last weekend that is..) I was going to spend the weekend doing this= spend time with Dad, and take pictures. I spent the later half of saturday scouting the ocean and beach for a good area to do sunset photography. I finally found a place around 7:30, and had to run home to eat dinner and get my camera ready (sunset was to be around 8:30). My dad said he would drive me over...but...when i got my camera ready I realized I didn't have my memory cards! I had left them somewhere else (friend's house) and didn't have time to get them. So I told my dad there was no need to rush out and catch the sunset, as he tried to find some solution to my problem.

Then it hit me. My dad, a few months back, had brought an old, old, old digital camera from work that was no longer in use. Inside was a state of the art 32mb compact flash card (from the 90's or something), so i hijacked the card and went outside to catch the last bit of sunset colors. With RAW I could only get 2 shots off, and with j-peg I could get around 12.

Well, this 32mb card has a little piece of real estate in my heart now...i'll probably keep it somehwere in my bag and KEEP IT THERE jusssstt in case.

p.s= the write speed on these things is slooowww.
