bryan_simpson Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 Hello, I was wondering what's the average size of a raw file on the D70? I am planning on getting a 512MB card, but first wanted to know how many raw files it would hold.thanks. Bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efusco Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 In Raw+jpeg you get about 75 images on there. The RAW are compressed. Note that the image counter shows about half the actual number it will hold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grant_. Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 why are the d70 raw files smaller than the d100s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis_vener_photography Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 The NEF files (uncompressed) should be just about 9MB in size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_Tardio Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 The D70 does not record uncompressed NEF files, only compressed NEF ones. Average size is 5.5-6 MB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grant_. Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 doesnt that take longer to store...? i know on the d100 compressed raw takes forever...really a waste of a file type i think...is the d70s firmware and hardware that much faster than the d100s?

greglyon Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Yep, that much faster that they don't even offer uncompressed NEF. Ken rockwell says less than .5 seconds to compress!!!. It's about 35 seconds each on my D100. That means that you get nearly twice the shots on the same card with a D70 compared to a D100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
._._z Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Yowza. Count on the D100 getting refreshed or replaced soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregg_johnson Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 I can confirm Greg's statement. I have the D70 and when I shoot in RAW format, I don't know about the stats, but I don't notice any slow down, lag or wait time. It's just like shooting with a film SLR IMO.

gregg_johnson Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 ...Also, I get approximately 44 files on a 512MB card in RAW format. 144 on the same, when shooting in JPEG FINE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_guttenplan Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 On the D70, a compressed RAW file is roughly about 5 or 6 meg, yet in all the specs I have read on the D70 they claim a capacity of ONLY 21 or so RAW files on a 256 card, is that a misprint in the specs or is there a reason for the inability to fit any more on the card, it would seem a figure of 40 or so would be more realistic, wouldn't it!
