mark_ng Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 <p>Hello peeps<br>I'm about to pick up an X1 and am considering a proper SD card to suit. Can users please let me know the size of DNG photos shot at full resolution?<br>Thanks in advance</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kens Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 <p>Keep in mind the X1, oddly enough, doesn't allow you to shoot DNG by itself. You can shoot JPG Fine, JPG SuperFine, DNG + JPG Fine, or DNG + JPG SuperFine. But not just DNG by itself.<br> With a 4GB HC card the following resolutions will give approximately...<br> JPG Fine: 1,320 images<br> JPG SuperFine: 663 images<br> DNG + JPG Fine: 188 images<br> DNG + JPG SuperFine: 165 images</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_ng Posted June 20, 2010 Author Share Posted June 20, 2010 <p>Thanks Ken. I didn't know that the files were ~20mb! That's pretty hefty. Funny enough that if DNG could be shot alone, there would only be more capacity for 3-4 extra shots, it sure saves the time to delete the JPGs. <br> Considering your information, it looks like 4GB would be the minimum, with possibility for an 8GB card</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kens Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 <p>The number of images are what the camera shows remaining for an empty 4GB card at those compression settings. I think they are minimum numbers, and I think the DNG+JPG estimates are really low. Generally the DNG size is about 12MB, the ExtraFine about 6MB, and the Fine about 3MB. If you take DNG+ExtraFine it should take up about 12+6=18MB give or take. DNG+Fine is about 12+3=15MB thereabouts.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
