Quick question

Hi I have never posted here before.

THinking of buying a Canon EOS 400d with sandisk card.

Just wanted to know, with 30Mb pics in raw mode, after I have taken
the picture, what sort of delay is there while it writes to the card?

Many thanks.

RAW files produced by the 400D should be more in the arena of 8 Megs. If
you are shooting a burst, write delay may come into play, but you need
to state what type of Sandisk card.

If you're not shooting bursts, write time is usually not a factor, at
least for me.

The delay is negligible (a couple of seconds at most) but you can still
shoot while the card is being written to.

What on earth is the advantage of having a 30mb file...or 8mbs for that
matter....what will it be used for and what is the gain?

At first glance it would seem that the raw file should be 30MB, after
all there are 10 MP and three colors per pixel. But in the raw data
there are only a total of 10 MP with 5MP of green 2.5 MP of red and
2.5 MP of blue. Add to this that there is some losses compression and
the raw file will normally be a bit under 10 MP.

The delay is pretty small, under normal shooting you will not fill up
the buffer and so never notice the time it takes to write to the card.
