Re: file transfer question

Hi 

I shoot the 5Ds-R and the files re large so it takes its time. If you’re worried about wasting time, do something else while it’s downloading. You know, like eat lunch, take a  nap, develop film, ..

I also run High Sierra on an iMac and I’m older than dirt now, so don’t like wasting time. But with large files, I just wait.

Hello all.

I use the full line of Canon 5D cameras…original, 2, 3 and 4.

My most frequently used bodies are the 5DM3 which is 22.3 MP, the 5DM4 is 30.4 MP.

While it’s a nice difference in megapixels it isn’t ginormous, but downloading images from the 5DM4 to my computer (using firewire 800 on a Mac Pro running High Sierra with 32 gigs of RAM) takes ages. I’m using Lexar Pro compact flash cards (UDMA 7, 800x). My hard drive has over a terrabyte of available space on it.

Is this slow process of downloading normal when using these larger megapixel cameras?

Is there a link in my system that can be changed to speed file transfers up?

Thanks for any insight you can offer,

Lea
