TECH SUPPORT Speeding Cards Q. Since the price of memory cards can go up dramatically with speed ratings—e.g., 16X, 32X, 64X—it seems you should buy only the fastest that your camera can use. How do you determine this, for, say, my Canon EOS 40D? A. Your 40D will be able to use any CF card you buy, but you won’t get any performance benefit from a faster card when you’re shooting. Top memory card speeds are always faster than most camera bodies can write. Instead, you get the benefit of that card’s speed when downloading your images to your computer when you use a separate card reader. Keep in mind, though, that faster cards are also often better made, use better grades of memory in them, and come with codes to download recovery software in case you encounter any problems. We suggest that you try something equivalent to SanDisk’s Ultra or Extreme cards or Lexar’s Platinum or Professional cards. Do you have Tech Support Question?

TECH SUPPORT Full Deck Q. Should I fill up a memory card (CF or SD) with images before I delete the images or reformat the card? I'm thinking of the VCR and audiocassette days, when if you recorded over and over on one portion of a tape, it would wear out that portion before the rest of the tape. A. Memory cards don't copy over the same space over and over as a tape would. A more pressing issue: If you fill up the card with images, you run the risk that, if the card becomes corrupted, you will lose that many more images. Also, if you're out shooting with a nearly full card, you'll find yourself scrambling to erase images to make room for others. Given that the price of memory cards has dropped enormously in recent years, and that you can reformat them many thousands of times without a problem, we say buy a bunch of them, offload your cards at the end of the day, and reformat them.

TECH SUPPORT Micro Matters Q. Is Four Thirds on its way out? Olympus seems to be all about Micro Four Thirds. How does Micro really compare to Four Thirds? A. The Micro Four Thirds sensor is the same physical size as the sensor used in the the Olympus E-5, the sole Four Thirds DSLR now on the market. But Micro Four Thirds cameras have no reflex mirror or pentafinder, and shorter back focus, so they can be smaller and lighter. In our lab tests, several Micro Four Thirds cameras produced higher image quality than the E-5, although the E-5 has a great advantage in ruggedness. Olympus has stated publicly it plans a successor to the E-5, but we’re not holding our breath. Do you have Tech Support Question?
