EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: MRAW to LR4

« on: May 25, 2012, 10:11:03 PM »

Just to let you know I had the same problem with S, M and full Raw even with LR4 RC2 and someone suggested I use a card reader instead of downloading direct from the camera and that did the trick. For whatever reason I still cannot download direct from the camera to LR4 RC2.
Good luck

I have been using a SanDisk card reader to transfer files and have not encountered a problem after I downloaded LR4 RC2 . I have yet to try transferring from the camera.

I got the LR4 RC, used it for a day, and uninstalled it due to glitches and stability issues. Instead I found a link on the John Nack blog for DNG 7.1 RC which gives you the perfect pre-LR4 workflow for your 5D3 files. Stay with LR4.0 for the time being.

LR4 is a shameless resource hog, you'll notice a big slowdown after LR 3.6. So the workaround is to convert to DNG in DNG 7.1, be SURE to check the "fast-load" option and then have a smoother ride in LR4. There is no difference whether you have shot RAW mRAW or sRAW. Just do the DNG thing, make it a permanent part of your workflow and you'll be a happy camper.

Is the DNG 7.1 a seperate program or do I have to get CS6 to make it work?

Thank you just downloaded the link. So i understand that this is just a trial update so when they do make an update for this will my LR4 be automatically be updated?

5D MK III Sample Images / My first try with the 5DMKIII

« on: May 24, 2012, 11:03:16 PM »

I am loving this camera I came from a T1I. And I just started photography in the last 3 mos. I must say I have a lot to learn. This was shot in downtown SF. Any comments or criticisms are appreciated. i shot this w/ the kit lens. And do you guys have any recommendations on how to learn more about this camera besides the manual maybe like a DVD tutorial.

EOS Bodies - For Stills / MRAW to LR4

« on: May 24, 2012, 07:56:12 PM »

Is it not possible to import images taken with the 5d3 shot in MRAW to lightroom 4? I tried it and it said that the ff. images are shot in a camera with a RAW format that is not supported by LR4. i checked for any updates with my LR4 and it seems that my version of LR4 is updated. Is there a fix for this or something I can do to import this? Or am I doing something wrong?

I think I have the old one it is only USB 2.0. Would this still be fast enough or should I get the USB 3.0?

The benefit from a super fast card comes when your buffer is full due to fast FPS shooting, or faster downloading to your computer, assuming you have a super fast card reader to match. 
 
Unless you are doing that, a inexpensive Sandisk 60 mb/sec CF card is overkill, but a good middle of the road choice.  In another year or even this next Christmas, prices for those super high speed cards will drop as a newer and faster one arrives on the market.

I have a Sandisk ImageMate All in one card reader is this fast enough to be compatible or use the full potential of a Sandisk 32gb 90mbps CF card?

Software & Accessories / SD card for 5d mk iii

« on: May 19, 2012, 06:13:30 PM »

Im planning to get a Sandisk 32gb 90mbps CF card. I wanna pair it up with a 32gb SD card. I dont know which one to get the 45 or 95 mbps. I read here somewhere that the SD slot of the 5d MK iii is slower than the CF and if i use a 95mbps card I will only be able to use it at 45mbps. Is this true? Which one did you guys choose to use for your camera?

I called J&R they quoted me 4199 but August also gave me a discount on LR4. He's gonna call me back as soon as they have it in stock to finalize the sale.

EOS Bodies - For Stills / 5D3 order from adorama

« on: May 12, 2012, 09:40:49 PM »

I ordered from adorama last wed. and didn't think that they would have it in stock so fast. So I guess they tried to take the money out last fri. in my account and since I used some of it my order is now being held for payment issues according to their 24hr. tracking. I see that they still have it in stock right now should I just order again via their website before it runs out or do they reserved a unit for me already? I cant get a hold of them over the phone since they're closed on the weekends.
