I don't often shoot RAW with the 1D Mk 2 (same 8 MB pixel count as the 20D), of the very few I've shot they were between 8 to 8.5 MB each, so assuming 1 GB is 1,000 MB, then one "should" in theory get 117 to 125 images from a 1 GB card. However, I just reformat the Lexar 1GB card in the 1D Mk 2 camera and with ISO set at 200 (my typical setting), there are only 93 images shown as available. > Sigh.......

It's really quite logical. > Jim, I think Henning's got you on this one :-) Ken * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
