ski542002 Posted May 14, 2008 Share #1 Posted May 14, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello: For the LX2/DLux-3, is there a maximum capacity card this camera design will handle? I only shoot raw. Does the camera take advantage of any write-accelerated card features, or would a faster card be a waste of money for this camera? Thanks.

Advertisement Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 Hi ski542002, Take a look here LX2/DLux-3, SD Card questions(s). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
mattbradders Posted May 14, 2008 Share #2 Posted May 14, 2008 I can't really answer you specific questions but I'm using a Transcend 8gb SDHC card and am very pleased with it. I only shoot RAW and the card is fast enough for it not to be an issue for me. It can hold about 350 RAW files when used with my D-Lux 3.

ski542002 Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share #3 Posted May 14, 2008 Thanks for the quick reply. I checked their web site and the pricing for an 8gb card is not painful at all! Thanks again. CD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattbradders Posted May 14, 2008 Share #4 Posted May 14, 2008 I got mine from here: Newegg.com - Transcend 8GB Secure Digital High-Capacity (SD/SDHC) Flash Card Model TS8GSDHC6 - Flash Memory I've purchased CF and SD cards from them before, always competitive pricing and super fast delivery.

ski542002 Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share #5 Posted May 14, 2008 Hello: Coincidentally, I just was trolling the Transcend site. They seem to have a bundle, featuring their SDHC card and a Compact Card Reader S5. It looks to have the SD slot on one end, and a standard USB2 male-port on the other end. They claim, data transfer rates up to 480Mb/s with this bundle. I'm running a MacBookPro, 2gb ram and Leopard. Here's a link to the product, Welcome to Transcend Website - SDHC + Compact Card Reader S5 Any experience with this? Thanks. CD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattbradders Posted May 15, 2008 Share #6 Posted May 15, 2008 I don't have any experience with the card reader, my laptop has a built in SD card reader which works very well. Matt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemalk Posted May 15, 2008 Share #7 Posted May 15, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Mattbradders (or others on here shooting RAW) - are RAW write times any faster than the 4-6 seconds I'm seeing on my D-Lux 3 and Patriot class 6 SDHC 4gb card?

jank Posted May 15, 2008 Share #8 Posted May 15, 2008 Sandisk has a rebate on SDHC Card Extreme cards. e.g. 4G SDHC Extreme rebate for 3 pcs is $110, Buydig.com sells them for $. 47.99 It comes to about $13 ea incl. shipping. These also came with USB reader (each one). Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say it was about the same, 4-6 is a good estimate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
skrieger Posted May 15, 2008 Share #10 Posted May 15, 2008 This is the first time I'm using this forum. I'm looking to buy a Leica D-Lux 3 or V-Lux 1. I'm interested in using this to capture large photos and than on the computer cut out sections to use in creating art pieces. I have not used raw data and am still confused as to what this is. I would like to use the camara for close up shots and for taking quick shots. Can anyone recomend which camera would be my better choice. Thank you, SK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
