D200 CF memory... help!!

[rjflo23]

Hi, i just bought myself new gear D200... im using 2gb cf. However, the memory that i got is only 100++, my setting is

File - RAW
image quality - L
colour - vivid+

Anyone can advise, is this normal for D200... whereas i will get 200++ if i slot it in my D70s

try reformat ...could it be that D70 L size Width x Length is smaller than D200's
D70 haf lower megapixel

Dude.

D200 is 10.2 Mp
D70 is 6.1Mp

of coz there is a difference in numbers. A 2 Gb card will show about 120 shots on the D200 but in actual practise, you can get up to about 200+ shots.

I would think so.... Already reformat it but still the same

[fndjufri]

It's simply because the D200's filesize are bigger than the D70's due to the higher megapixel count.
Anyway, the numbers are just estimates.

check manual page 196 for details.

D200 Fine Quality Jpeg abt 4mp each
Raw about 15mb

D70 Fine Quality Jpeg abt 2mp Each
Raw about 8mb? cannot rem

1GB = 1000MB

so do your maths

This is a funny one...

but i believe TS is sincerely panicking...

dont worry dude, 100+ in raw is perfectly normal.

1GB card only will take 60 raw. If you think this is crazy, wait till u insert into a S5pro, D2Xs, 5D or 1Ds

Even better than "does 50mm work well on a D80".

too long with D70s la thats why.....

The amount of shots you can get on the card is just an estimate. Compression algorithms yields varying ratios, thus its hard to estimate the remaining number of shots. Don't take the figures so seriously, its just an estimate. YMMV

If you're shooting RAW, there's an option where you can set if your RAW files are enabled with compression.

Sorry that I don't recall the details, cos for me it's set and forget...

Press "MENU". Goto "Shooting Menu" (icon is camera).
Scroll to "RAW Compression".
Select "NEF (RAW)" for uncompressed RAW file mode or "Comp. NEF(RAW)" for compressed RAW file mode
Press "ENTER" to confirm your selection

Does compressing RAW degrade the image quality?

On Rob Galbraith's web page, it was mentioned that compressed RAW does not degrade the picture (Or they termed it is visually loseless but numerically lossly)

definetely

[spazzer]

to ts juz relaz it is only a rough estimate u can store much much more pics than that and it is totally normal
