[QUOTE="aroy, post: 194260, member: 16090"] Page 334 gives the card capacity as well as the image sizes. NEF lossless 12 bit = 23.4MB, No images in 8GB = 190 NEF lossless 14 bit = 29.2 MB, No images in 8GB = 147 NEF Compressed12 bit = 20.7MB, No images in 8GB = 258 NEF lCompressed 14 bit = 25.4 MB, No images in 8GB = 215 Also you have to check whether both NEX7 and D600 are set at the same bit depth (12 or 14) before comparing capacities. Further the compression algorithms differ and one may be more efficient (in terms of size) than the other and this makes the same photo vary in size. In general I would go with 30MB file size while estimating the capacity, and cater for extra cards if required - as in case of long trips where I cannot offload the data to other devices.
