[QUOTE="Bitter Muppet, post: 52370, member: 9331"] Hello and Happy Easter! I'm hoping someone here can help or at least knows what's going on. I've had my D90 since January 2009 and the same two 8GB Sandisk cards since the beginning. When I have the Image Quality set to RAW and format the card, my display indicates I have 524 photos available. And unless I shoot a video or two, it typically holds true to the 524 before I run out. Ever shot I take reduces the number by one as you'd expect. Here's where it gets weird. I'm noticing that on both cards I have well over 700 photos. This is confirmed when I plug the card in via USB on my PC. Either through just opening it in a Windows folder or going through Nikon Transfer 2, I have way more photos that 524. Maybe I should just be happy that I'm getting 200+ photos beyond what I should get but I'm thinking that somewhere down the line this is going to haunt me. I have observed that a photo that maybe mostly black can have a lower file size of around 8mb whereas a photo with lots of vibrant colors may be over 11 or 12mb. I just have no idea why I've always been in that 520 range and now I'm getting over 700. Any ideas on this? Should I even be worried? (going to post this in a few forums on the net, I'm really perplexed!) Thanks! [/QUOTE]
