Me putting both Oly XD and one CF in my e510
 

okie man!

Thanks Spidey! You have been very helpful! good luck for your exams!
 

ha ha ha,you're welcome,thanks a lot
 

That is the beauty of the E510.....

I have a 4GB CF and a 2GB XD....giving a total of 6GB in camera. When others are changing out their 4GB CF, I just switch to my XD. I can shoot 50% longer.
 

yah I agree! that's what I was hoping for and its as I hoped for! :P

Only thing is can the battery last so long.

On day shots on default settings, I have taken about 1400 shots over 3 days before the battery died on me. I think that covers more shots than the 6G of memory unless you are shooting in low quality jpegs.
 

xD should be a last resort thing. I have a 2gb m type, and it's very slow. Decent for popping off snipe shots the way I do, but forget about proper burst mode.
 

the xD M card is slow ah?

i haven't tried burst shooting yet. hmm

1400 shots is excellent battery life. Is that using 2pcs BLM-1 with the grip? :think:

Depends on what part of the world you're from as you don't have your location information filled in!

Anyway, whatever you do DON'T buy memory cards on eBay...95% of the Sandisk ExtremeIII cards sold on eBay are COUNTERFEIT...I just had to tell another person today on DPReview that they had bought a counterfeit card:

I am in Singapore only ;)
Enquired at CP/Mustafa quote me $125.00 for 4GD Extreme III
Also CP quote S$68.00 for RM1.
Looks like most of the photography shop will try to squeeze $$$ if not sure abt the price before hand.
Two weeks ago AP ripped me $40.00 more FL36 and EX-180 Lowepro bag :(

FYI, I bought Oly xD M-type 2GB from Best Denki Parkway, 3 weeks ago, at $78.
It is for "standby" capacity in case my CF 2GB (primary storage) gets full.
Don't know the CF ExIII w/card reader price.
 

Yes, in all my E-system DSLRs since the E-500, I have always kept a 1GB xD card in it for times of emergency when the main CF card is full. :)

Yes. Serious!!! May be I look tourist for them :)
Am not good at bargaining..... So just left the shop.
BTW, how much you paid for 4GB Extreme III?
For RM1, CS resource at 4/3's quote SG40.00. Dont know where can get RM1 at this price?
 

probably,i think i got mine about the same price as they quote you,and that sales guy throw in a Extreme III card reader worth about 50,still ask if i dun want the card reader,can slash of 20 bucks off the card,i took the card reader anyway,lol,no idea where to get RM1 at that price either,trying to look for one,lol
