canon 20D question

[D70FAN]

If I can I shoot at 100, its the smoothest best image quality. If I need "speed" I usually have to go all the way to 1600.

Learn to use the dark side (of the force? uh, no.). The -EV setting can be your friend when you need an extra stop, or two, but don't want to up the ISO. Under exposure can be easier to correct than noise. Give it a try.

thank you very much for all ur posts. when i bump my ISO to 3200, then the mega bytes go up to 3.9. i was shooting at ISO 100. could that be it? does everybody shoot at ISO 400? or 400ish?

400 is my most used setting, but only when i HAVE TO use it. i try to get away with as low an ISO setting as possible whenever i can.

i recently bought a 20D with a 50mm f/1.4 lens. i love it.
the weird thing is with a gig card, the camera tells me i can take 279 picutres but when i max out my CF card, i have more than 400 pictures with the biggest picture quality setting without going RAW format. how is this so? (each of my pictures are only 2.3 megs... is that right?)

That's odd - is there something wrong with the memory interface?
