yeah, the price is around there as well from challenger. was contemplating to get that as well, at least time lapse can get more raw files saved into it. maybe this IT show will check around. what brand were you using? thanks.

thought we have been talking about Transcend all this while?
hahaha... anyway, I'm using Transcend 32Gb Class 10 in slot 1, Sandisk 16Gb class 6 in slot 2 of my D7000.
Slot 1 --> Raw files
Slot 2 --> jpeg & videos (rarely shoot videos)
With this combo, I can clock about 1k pictures before they get filled.

oohh..ya hor.....hhmm..2 slots r really helpful....don't make me regret not getting the D7000 over the D5100 ley....:cry:
I need some help on hot shoe flash but can't find any information over the internet, so I hope anyone here please help me.
For example night portrait shooting, I went to a dark place which need 1/10, f1.8 and ISO3600 only can get correct exposure(based on light meter on D5100).
But I don't want such high ISO and slow shutter speed, so I placed my external flash on hot shoe. So now here is my question,
I don't see any improvement on light meter, I still need the same value as above to get correct exposure. What should I do? Normally I just ignore the light meter even though it shown under expose. I set ISO to 800, shutter speed 1/60 and aperture f1.8, then I just shoot the photo (TTL). Is that correct way? I expect if external flash installed, it should show me some hand held capability setting but it's just the same.

your flip screen is a plus point! I have on occasion wished that I have the flip screen!
hmm...in my point of view, data transfer rate is "almost equivalent" to which class of card you use.
If you are doing video shoots or RAW files, I'd say use Class 6 and above.
If you are going to do continuous shoot, a faster card will get you more pictures compared to a slower card.
Remember:
Camera capture --> camera buffer --> memory card
If the buffer does not clear fast enough to memory card, your camera stops recording.

Ya bro transcend cheap n reliable I'm getting one more 16 GB class 10
....so u r having 2 bodies now?no bro. i'm mainly shooting in RAW now. n i guess u r right cos mostly i shoot at night nowadays.....
hhmm...maybe i'll observe it again cos usually i used 10s timer plus the long exposure then i leave it until it finished but never really observe the time when it closes the shutter n write on the card....
From my understanding, if you turn on the long exposure noise reduction feature then it will take double time. For example if long exposure NR feature on then you expose for 30 seconds, it will take 60 seconds to complete it.
I don't think it's due to memory card because no matter long exposure or short expose, photo memory size almost the same only. So speed of memory writing only affected if file size too big or burst too many photo in short time. By the way long exposure sure take a bit longer to process.
