This has probably been discussed already - but how accurate is the K7 in terms
of prediciting the number of exposure that will fit on any given memory card?
I have a bunch of 2 gig cards, and when I insert one in the K7 and format it,
the camera tells me that it will hold 82 PEF files. In actuality, it holds more
like 150 -160 files. I'm used to this with the K10D but thought that was an
anomaly with the camera where compression was implemented in the PEF format at
the last minute, but the exposure counting routines were not updated. So what
gives with the K7?
Not that I am complaining - my Coolpix P6000 13.5 megapixel point and shoot
only manages to get about 45 raw files per gig of memory card. (The noise in
the images probably limits compression.) So the the K7 is doing great t0 get 80
images per gigabyte.
I will complain about how remote the card format function is in the K7 menu.
I swap cards between several different cameras, and want to format each before
use. I'd like to see the format command a few layers closer to the top of the
command tree in the K7 menu.
