I think this was because each time I transferred the files the cards got punished twice: when plugging into the card reader and when plugging back into the camera. <br /><br />The first broken card I had replaced in the warranty, but then I didn't bother any more and just used another card. <br /><br />In the end, I switched to using the usb cable.Juha Haatajahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00361255734892508254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3500144491563926221.post-24424666060469106612011-07-19T01:37:42.805+03:002011-07-19T01:37:42.805+03:00Wow!

In ...Wow! What a landmark achievement. Congrats!<br /><br />In terms of the memory card issue, I know that when I got a new desktop computer about three years ago, it came with card-reading slots on deck. Though obviously I don't transfer pictures over at the rate that you do, I think this is the least obtrusive way to transfer files because all you do is plug the card into a slot. Perhaps if and when you upgrade your computer or laptop, you will have this feature.<br /><br />CheersAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16776591645240960462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3500144491563926221.post-65433756243180800952011-07-18T16:31:38.714+03:002011-07-18T16:31:38.714+03:00@Andreas: Good to know!

I have suspected that the speed ratings don't much matter in practice.<br /><br />I'm counting on the usb port on holding a few hundred connections at least - and if it breaks down, well, I can use the memory card reader. And I don't expect there will be critical software updates appearing for the LX3 any more...Juha Haatajahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00361255734892508254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3500144491563926221.post-35431159487397446982011-07-18T13:23:22.526+03:002011-07-18T13:23:22.526+03:00Cool!

With my current rate of taking pictures, I may get to 30000 in the same time :)<br /><br />As to SD cards, I've three, two cheap Kingston class 4 (8 GB and 4 GB), and an expensive class 10 from SanDisk. Well, guess what, no speed difference. Obviously the LX5 is processing bound. <br /><br />So, I think the sane thing to do is to buy cheap cards in a size that fits your picture taking habits (relevant only for RAW shooters, otherwise 2 GB should suffice for most), two of them, and to use them with a card reader. Cheap SD cards cost nothing compared to a camera, and I suppose the card slot of the camera is less susceptible to wear than the USB port. At least that's what I think :)Andreashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15992874945092411553noreply@blogger.com
