Canon Ixus Memory Card
Writing speed of a Canon IXUS 90 IS camera.?

I need to know the writing speed of my camera (above).
I received it yesterday and need to get a larger memory card for it, the fastest possible.
What memory card speed should I get?
Also, will it have much of an impact on the camera speed?

Canon’s compact cameras have an excellent (and very fast) menu system and very fast overall performance. However, I recommend you use a high speed SD or SDHC card. About the best you can get is the very popular, Sandisk Extreme III (Class 6, 133x speed rating). This card is only a little dearer than another popular Sandisk card, the Ultra II (Class 4 66x speed rating, which should still be ok).

Every 2GB will allow approx. 440 Large/Superfine images or up to 16 minutes of high quality video.

A fast card is needed for optimum camera performance, but especially for recording videos.

Don’t forget to Format a brand new card (in the camera’s Menu) before you use it the first time…and also, everytime you need to delete ALL the files from it.

p.s. also, a fast card makes transferral of your files to your computer (via card reader) so much faster.

good luck…

Canon Ixus Memory Card

You are cleaning out Grandma’s attic when you stumble across a dusty box full of old 8mm film reels. You know without a doubt that these can be a treasure trove of family memories and perhaps even an introduction to relatives you did not even know you had. The trick is to figure out how to turn these technology dinosaurs into a viewable format for today.

The very best way is to employ a professional and take or send your films to a video editing firm. This is the only way to complete guarantee that the transfer will be made smoothly and professionally. However, some of us are “do it myself” type of personalities and want to take on this challenge. If this describes you, here are a few tips to get started.

First and foremost, you will need a solid 8mm camera with variable speed control and shutter settings. Your camcorder will also need shutter speed control and exposure options. The reason for the variable speed controls is because there is a big difference in speed between 8mm film at 18 frames per second and camcorders at 30 frames per second. Finally, you will have to choose between using the film transfer box or white card option for doing the actual transfer between old and new formats.

A White Card functions as a small screen for the film projector to transfer the image to, and then the camcorder pulls the image from the White Card and sends it to a DVD recorder. With a film transfer box, the 8mm film is projected onto a mirror that is deflected into the camcorder lens. The camcorder captures the image and transfers it to a DVD recorder.

It is possible to actually watch the transfer process at work by hooking up the video outputs to your television. The drawback to this is that you are viewing a live image and the quality of what you actually end up with may not be quite as clear as the initial view. The challenges of transferring old films to today’s technology can be tricky but there is also a great sense of accomplishment in doing the work yourself.
