My Kingston 16GB car showed up Friday night from Adorama. That free shipping only took 2 days to get here so that’s a nice savings! My Rebel XTI recognized the card no problem and it shows I can take over 4,000 full res JPG shots. For RAW+L I get nearly 900 and for just RAW I get over 1,500. So no matter how you look at it I can get a ton of pictures on this new card. I’m anxious to try it out since I’m sure it’s a huge improvement over what I’ve been using. I know I’m late in upgrading, but better late than never. Plus the price and free shipping was definitely worth the wait.

I just got this in an email and thought I would pass it on:

It’s a pretty big selection of lenses too including the 10-20mm, 70-200mm, 50-500mm, 120-400mm, 18-250mm, 100mm macro and plenty of others. The only one missing is the 150-500mm.

That 10-20mm is calling my name that’s for sure.

Seems like now is a good time to invest in some bigger CompactFlash cards. Buy.com has a 16GB Kingston CF card for $39.95 with Free Shipping. It’s a 133x card so it not the latest and greatest, but I bought my CF cards over two years ago when I bought the camera so I know they’re faster than the ones I’m currently using. The card is basically half price and the free shipping will save at least another $5-10, so that’s a pretty good deal I’d say.

I was originally going to get two 8GB card, but a single 16GB card is nearly $20 less.
