[QUOTE="pforsell, post: 669022, member: 7240"] The number of files that will fit to the card is always an estimate, unless you are shooting uncompressed raw. Only those files are always the same size. If you shoot lossless compressed raw, or jpeg, the camera cannot know in advance what you will shoot in the future and how much those files will compress, hence the estimate is based on uncompressed and it is a very conservative number. A landscape shot with a lot of foliage and detail won't compress much, but a shot mostly containing clear blue sky and a small bird will compress a lot. If you set your camera to lossless compressed and shoot with the lens cap on with settings ISO 100, f/8 and 1/100, those black files will compress immensely and you can probably fit 5000 of those to your card. :) [/QUOTE]
