<p>SD card or usb device - either 128GB or 256GB. However, you have to pick very carefully if you care about performance (specifically write speed). Unfortunately 'USB3' (for example) does not promise good performance. So do your research. If 128GB is not large enough you can by ssd 'backup' drives as suggested above. ssd can be more reliable over the long run IFF you buy the right models but USB are more common and have a lot of benefits. Personally my favorite is micro-ssd cards but don't know what sort of ports your laptop has.</p> <p>btw how much space do you actually require ?</p>

<p>details != sharpness. As a simple example I was looking at a photograph digitially printed and wanted to read the license plate. I could not (with a loupe) because it was lacking details; even though it appeared very sharp. I could with the original negative. This is something that occurred around 2000 when digital printers were starting to be used at ritz stores. As I said the actual photographs looked very sharp; they just lacked details that were carried by the negative.<br> <br />The same is true with the above comment. 1080p is certainly higher resolution than 480i but visbily less than 4k; which is a bit less than 8k. The issue is that what we perceived as sharp does not take a lot of pixels; but if we want the details then generally speaking more is better. This comment doesnt' really address what is a photograph or how many pixels are required for a 'good' photograph; certainly not all photographs require the details to be pleasing but details are useful if they are to represent historical recording of events.</p>

<p>Did you determine the differences bvetween the original file and the corrupted copy ? I.e, is ir random bits; single blocks (or collection of blocks); specific bits (high/low); ....<br> -<br> The issue could be the card reader; the card; the hard disk; memory; .... <br> -<br> Enough data is not provided in this thread to determine the source of the error. While you cannot always determine the source; there are certains that can be done to narrow in on the cause.</p>

<p>That is good news. Let us know how it turns out.</p>

<p>The original EM-5 early batches had shutter issues. I had mine replaced for free when it failed but your camera is well out of warranty so not sure if they will help you. If you search around you canfind the range of serial number of impacted camera.</p>

<p>deleted. I found the answer to my question.</p>

<p>I priced one of these a while ago; building it yourself (if that is your sort of thing) will save you a bit; esp with your chosen config (dell tends to up the price a lot as you increase ram, ssd and such). I think I price a build it yourself option around $150 less for a base configuration.<br> -<br> Btw I believe it comes in a full tower case; so if you prefer something a bit smaller then that might be an issue. If you upgrade the graphic card in the system (esp high end gpu) you will need to also get a new PSU (by default the PSU in the system is bare min and dependent on model gpu can chew up a lot of power). A lot of people like the 8700 so it is not a bad system and they like it more now that dell upgraded the firmware to support newer gpu (you might need to upgrade your firmware depending on which gpu you buy and which firmware is installed).</p>

<p>I think I paid $400 for a new one near the end of the production run.</p>

<p>You might try asking photo.net if they will add support for https (which would solve the issue if it is a proxy). Conversely you might try chrome or firefox.</p>

<p>Try this site:<br> http://www.zuiko.com/<br> -<br> Drop em an email and he will respond with reasonable advice. It may very well be the battery or contact; no clue. I had an om 2sp that worked fine for 20 years until I sold it but these camera electronics won't last forever.</p>

<p>I'm not sure of your budget nor how much display cost in your area; but there are quite a few high quality 27inch monitors that can be purchased for $600 dollars. They might require calibration after purchase (pre callibrated screens seem to cost a bit more) or might be 'close enough' for your needs. Some models include aoc q2770, vp2770 and benq BL2710pt. If you support dual dvi there are some korean models that can be purchased for for $350-$450. These models tend to have lower quality stand; require dual dvi (no hdmi or display port) and have very limited on-monitor controls (brightness and such); but they have full rgb and are a bit less expensive.</p>
