Message: <blockquote data-quote="hark" data-source="post: 216520" data-attributes="member: 13196">Since my D600 will get shipped back to Nikon today, I'll be using my D90 to shoot my local high school's theater production--TONIGHT (or tomorrow night if something unexpected comes up today)! I've never used a card larger than 8GB in it because that's what recommended, but when I asked about card size a while ago, someone said the 8GB is recommended because that's as large as cards were made when the D90 was manufacturered. I have a few 16GB and 32GB cards all of which are class 10 cards. Since I won't have an option to really try filling a card ahead of time, I'm hoping to find a couple of answers. I'd like to shoot both JPEG FINE and RAW, and both files will go on the same card (definitely one reason why I prefer the D600's two card slots).<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">1. Most likely I'll be taking @300 photos total. What size card can hold that many combined JPEG FINE and RAW files? (I have a couple of extra cards packed in my bag just in case!) <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">2. What is the largest size card you've used safely (without any problems) in the D90?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">3. There is a number that shows up on the lower right side of the display on the camera's top. I imagine it lists the total amount of space remaining on the card. Is there some way to change that number to represent the approximate number of remaining shots the card will hold?</li> </ul>Thank you for any info!!! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
