After using this for some time now, it does reduce the Busy screen drastically. Definitely wroth it for me.

Great question, I am ready to smash my rebel to bits with a hammer... out of nowhere "Busy" has turned my camera from a great piece of electronics to something less than useless.

I heard from others that Kamputer Bay cards might not work with some Nikon cameras but this is the first time that I have heard that it does not work with a Canon. It might be that you purchased a bad card. See if it registers with your computer when plugged in. You might have to send it back for a replacement. I also would try contacting the company to see if they have a solution. I have had mind for awhile now and have used it with both my 5d and 5d mark iii with no problems.

I am still waiting for this charger to arrive. But one issue... Just had my EOS 6D with one original Canon battery. I am using a battery grip (wich came with 2 Canon LP-6E replacement batteries. The original LP-6E battery in the original Canon charger did not complete its 1st charge and overnight. It was stuck on like 90%.. I placed it into the battery grip took some shots with the camera. Then placed it back into the original Canon charger. This time the charge completed and all is fine. So there may be some start up quirks with these batteries... I never experienced it before, with any kind of Canon batteries. FYI. I am still waiting for this charger to arrive. But one issue... Just had my EOS 6D with one original Canon battery.

R. Frey/others,Did you buy the 770?If yes, how did you like it?I have an unopened 1100 sitting here. I am concerned about getting everything from the 1100's menu vs. dialing scenes when shooting. The small price difference is not an issue. I need to decide ASAP. Problem . . few cameras in stores have a battery to enabling shooting and overall handling.Opinions on the Canon 770, 1100 or other models welcome.Sunbeltsue1

I have the same problem. I would say absolutely the auto is malfunctioning on my camera. The screen displays distance changing as if the camera can not calculate the distance correctly on auto. I get a 'busy' notification and the camera will do NOTHING. As well, yesterday during my daughters wedding, the sunlight was Perfect, however almost all of the photos are blurry or over exposed. My camera is just over a year old and beyond the warranty period. It is very upsetting to have this camera go belly up when it is certainly not a cheap camera or an old one. Canon should have a recall on this product because clearly there is a quality problem with it. :-( I have the same problem. I would say absolutely the auto is malfunctioning on my camera.

Yes this card is. I have the canon rebel xti and it uses a compact flash memory card. Canon's and Nikon's come with two types of memory cards which is compact flash and SD. Compact flash is bigger and the SD cards are smaller.

I had no problem aside from it taking quite a bit of time. You might want to call Canon and see if they can determine what the issue is.

I have never had a similar problem when shooting in normal mode, BUT i did notice when shooting in HDR mode it drained the battery quickly and processed pretty slowly. I suspect the same is true for Panorama mode. I suspect both of these modes use a lot of processing power. I ended up taking it off of HDR mode and didn't have any problems. I bought a second battery from a guy on craigslist and like having a back-up, but that is more for when we haven't charged it for a while. I'm not sure if I did a firmware update or not.

Thanks; I'd missed that comment in the dpreview review. Seems to contradict what I found at kenrockwell.com/tech/cf-sd.htm -- basically, that a faster card matters for downloading (e.g. camera to computer) but not in modern cameras unless you overflow their internal buffer memory. Ken's description sounds like picture-taking speed won't be inhibited with a slower card because of the camera's buffer, which is what I care about most. Slower playback and downloading is fine. In other words, write speed is more important to me than read speed and apparently the camera's buffer effectively compensates for slower cards when writing to them.

I've had mine for almost a year now. Unlike the previous posters, I haven't had any issues with focus. However, I have recently discovered 3 dead pixels in the CCD each separated pretty far from each other. I shrink most of my pictures for web use so it's not really an issue with me but it's not good when there's more than a couple of dead pixels in your CCD. Otherwise it's been pretty good; I do like it a lot.

I'm afraid that I agree with Ben. If we start cropping and manipulating, we'll find some loss of info owing to the more lossy compression. It probably isn't noticeable under many conditions, Mario, but I don't get the point at all. Less loss gives the photographer more room to crop, do noise reduction, adjust colors, etc. I thought that Canon photos were a bit too smooth to begin with, losing some detail, and this only makes the problem worse. I don't mind not being able to shoot in raw, I guess but losing super fine is going in exactly the wrong direction. Unless Canon are trying to steer us to the G10. And that's an entirely different discussion. I'm afraid that I agree with Ben. If we start cropping and manipulating, we'll find some loss of info owing to the more lossy compression.

This could very well be a SD card issue.... I've seen this happen on one of my friend's SLRs when they tried using a older SD card (that is not class 6 or higher).... Even if urs is class 6, it might not be a bad idea to try using a different SD Card, as the one that u mite be using now might be defective..... Good luck.....

I had a Transcend 16 GB Class 10 Card in my T2i, and it would take photos, yet not record 1080 HD video, after a few short clips! Canon Tech Sprt told me, that although the card was rated at Class 10, it was dropping down below class 6 at certain times during its use! That the camera was only designed and tested and meant to be used with an ACTUAL CLASS 6 CARD! If you can believe that! I now have a 16 GB Class 10 Lexar Card in it, and it is working fine. (Class 6, is cited in the owners manual.)

Also, I just noticed this in the product manual:Page # 25, under "5. Shoot" section:- The indicator will blink red while the image is recorded to the memory card.- The image will appear on the screen for about two seconds.- You can take the second picture even while an image is displayed by pressing the shutter button again.I'm not sure if you have tried taking a second picture during this message being displayed on the screen. However, my class 6 SDHC card, as mentioned in my earlier post, somehow manages to reduce the amount of time this busy message is being displayed on the screen. Good luck!

I use it with my Canon T3i and haven't noticed any lag. Like Bryce said his screen goes black for a few seconds when switching modes, mine goes blue. I would suggest pressing the record button on your camera a few seconds before actually filming so everything syncs up properly. But to answer your question....no lag.

I took some shots last night with my Mobi card and they uploaded without problems to my iPad. I had previously uploaded other shots to my iPhone. Just now I put the card in my card reader and they have all transferred to Picasa without problems. It's been too cold to get out and do any shooting but I do have a regular, non-Eye-fi card. If I am going to be doing a lot of RAW+jpg shooting I plan to use that card. I always have my iPhone with me so if I need to do a quick FaceBook post I can use that. Impressed with the card so far!
