Yes, Sky compresses very easily and results in much smaller JPEG's or compressed RAW files. Shooting the local airshow a couple years ago with a 6MP D50 I got over 600 max quality JPEG's on a 1GB card, this year I got 2800+ 12MP max quality JPEG's onto 3 4GB cards with the D300 (on one bloody battery too).
