Hi, can I ask you a question please?

I bought a small 2gb card for my 450D and after I take a shot - that word "Busy" is on the screen for about 5 second and it doesn't let me do anything. It's hell sometimes to wait this long and sometimes even longer. Could it be that it's just my card that is slow on reading the data?

@ParaglidingManiac what is the make and model of your card?

[ParaglidingManiac]

@drumat5280,

Xmore store. 2gb SD. Made in Japan.

[drumat5280]

@ParaglidingManiac I would guess that this is a slow card, buy a class 6 or higher, see my gear page for what I use.

Have you ever had any problems with the transcend cards, i mean they are crazy cheap, i have had my transcend 16gb for a few weeks and its very fast and very good, but has yours ever failed on you, or deleted stuff or just stopped working, because I'm planning to do some paid video work and I want to know if I can trust them. thank you :)

[drumat5280]

@Carrrott I used the hell out of mine and it has never failed me for over a year.

Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for - Canon's website is useless when it comes to manuals; and your step-by-step is perfect! Cheers!

Thanks again Dave...I just did the update on my 60D...I just followed the steps you did for your T2i...was about the same, now I am running 1.1.0 thanks so much for your help!

Drag it up where? When you say the root menu, you mean DONT put it in any folders right?
