Your camera is not the typical kit used by most professional photographers, though. Uncompressed RAW files from a Nikon 810, for instance, are 72MB so your 16G card could hold just over 200 shots a piece.
Of course, whether having an entire photoshoot on a single piece of (relatively fragile) storage is a good idea is another question entirely.
- StavrosK 12y agoSure, it's not full-frame, but it's no slouch. It's 20 MPel, whereas the 5D is 23. I doubt the file size is three times higher for three more MPel.
- Retric 12y agoHands-On Review: Nikon D810 "During these low-light tests I also had the chance to work with both the conventional RAW file size, which yielded approximately 77MB files" http://www.bhphotovideo.com/explora/photography/hands-review/hands-review-nikon-d810 http://www.bhphotovideo.com/explora/photography/hands-review... Which seems odd as 36.3MP * 14bits / pixel ~= 63.5 MB though it does say it can save both raw a JPEG at the same time which may make up the difference. That or it's saving 17 bits / pixel. 77MB * 5pictures a second = 23GB / min.
- StavrosK 12y agoGoddamnit, you're cherry-picking the worst case, and that's still "only" 77 GB. Nowhere near 512.
- Retric 12y agoI suspect battery life will probably be more an issue than filling one of these up. But, IMO your looking at it the wrong way as your not their target market. This is for HD video not camera's. Still, the goal is not to fill the tings to capacity it's a cost / benefit trade-off is 500$ (800$ - 300$ for a 256 GB SD card) worth being able to take more than 256GB worth of pictures. And in that case it might be worth it simply to reduce the risk of missing a great shot. Even if they rarely want to go though 3,000 pictures looking for the best ones. There is utility in basically never running out of space. Plus a few applications where you might actually fill a 256GB card.
- theworst 12y agoYou seem personally offended that someone said they can see a potential use for a card of this size.
- StavrosK 12y agoI am personally offended that I express disbelief that 1000 photos are 512 GB and people are arguing that the card is useful.
- sib 12y agoAccording to Nikon's user manual for the D810, a 14-bit RAW file from the camera takes approximately 73MB. It's a 36MP sensor. So, it's more than 3x as big a file and would only fit about 14 images per GB of storage...
