| | | 400D download speeds
Anyone experiencing painfully slow downloading from your CF card? I plug my cable the body and each RAW takes ages. I know they're big files etc but when putting the same memory card in my 30D the speed is far far faster. The firmware in the 400D is up to date. Maybe a fault in the body itself?

It always seems to take far longer to transfer images from camera to computer via a lead from the camera, why I dont know.
Try using an external USB 2 card reader, they are much faster.

the speeds are about the same when downloading from my 400D and 30D. Maybe there's a fault somewhere?

I agree with Fourwings, here. A USB 2 card reader will allow you to upload your images at a far faster rate. I've also read, on numerous occasions, that you should never upload directly from the camera, as it may cause damage to the electrics, although I've not been able to ascertain how that may happen. Maybe someone here can enlighten me?

I've always used a card reader, I've never connected my camera to the computer. Not for any other reason than it's quicker and for me easier. |

Like Graham I use a card reader to uypload images from camera to pc not only is it faster it also saves having to load up the camera program onto the pc taking up space on the pc then if you change camera you have to delete camera details of pc then install new camera details ,card reader is so much simpler take card from camera and place in card reader and away you go

Yeah I have to agree, cardreader is the way to go. I am lucky enough to have a set for each different card built into my tower!

I'm aware card readers are popular and probably the best thing to use, I just never seem to bother buying one. I always think, I'll just use the money for another CF card or something. Silly really, they're really cheap.

Chris | I've just bought a 52-1 multi reader for a fiver. I've never been able to work out what the 52 different types are supposed to be, but it works! Can't get too much cheaper! |

Hi People,
A quick diversify, loading music to my phone goes like this for half a Gig's worth,
Bluetooth 4hrs 15mins, direct cable to phone 1hr 15mins, card reader 15mins, I think that say's it all.
Max.
