I have just come across this on another forum. I have no need to try it myself, but for those of you experiencing speed problems it could be worth a go.

^^^ Has anybody tried this? I had a go yesterday but got stuck half way (I'm totally computer illiterate) so aborted
I find Jonathan's fix of importing into LR4 then switching to PV2010 is only a partial speed solution after all.
Then I had a nightware session last night. Uploading a stack of pics from my 5D2 was fine, if slow, then a similar set of about 400 images from a 5D3 would not unpload (mostly JPEGs, as I was shooting longish 6fps sequences). I got the message 'could not rename files' whatever that means and basically I had nothing but low-res thumbnails. Then I put the card back in the camera and it said 'no images'!!! Suspecting this was a lie, put the card in my 5D2 and there they all were (thank ****
The 5D3 then had a fit, camera locked up, busy light flashing like mad. Took battery out and tried again, all fine. I then took a few more pics and messed about uploading from both cameras, and then as if by magic at the fifth attempt with the 400-odd 5D3 files, they all uploaded
This looks more like a camera issue to me, but what do I know! Either way I'm not enjoying LR4 with a Canon 5D3 at all - and it should be a dream team
PS A mate is having no probs with LR4, though he does have a very high spec machine. The point seems though that some people are having problems and others aren't, regardless of machine spec.
