    Default A Step too far maybe???

    Ok so I have a pretty big trip planned for the new year, one which will involve, I imagine, taking a lot of photographs. Getting ready for this, I decided to get some additional SD memory for my digital camera, and after shopping around a bit, I ordered a pair of 32GB Class 6 SDHC cards.

    I just popped one into my camera, a Casio Exilim EX-FH20 with a 9.1mp sensor, and with all of the settings set on high, everything except RAW enabled, it came up with space for 5786 photographs.

    I think, no, I'm pretty sure I went a little bit too far lol, expecially as I already have 2 8GB cards and a 2GB one. Assuming the estimate is correct, that means I'm now in a position to take just under 15,000 photographs without a download..... lol



    Oh yeah, my "spare" camera, a Fuji S5600 has a 4GB Card and it runs at 5.1mp, so that's good for another 900 or so lol

    Breaking that down, I'm on this trip for 6 days, so a little over 2500 pics per day, assuming I sleep 8 hours, thats over 150 per hour, or a photograph roughly every 25 seconds I'm awake.... lol

    So get on it. Your camera may have a time lapse setting, so use that and keep up!

    Ooops, that's what I get for starting stuff and walking away in the middle then not refreshing before spouting off.

    Probably should have invested in a couple spare batteries.

    Actually, that gives me an idea...get a cheap little camera with time lapse, shove a huge card and battery into it, and just walk around all day with it running.
