Captain_Caveman 0 Posted February 25, 2011 When I bought my first digital camera (the IXUS I think) I had 128Mb card that would last me a few holidays with hundreds of snaps. Skip on ten or so years later and I'm having a problem fitting seven photos from my 5d2 onto a 700Mb CD for a friend of mine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seacuke 0 Posted February 25, 2011 Until ...today!... my current camera rig uses 128mb "smartmedia" cards. I can get 46 .jpgs on the card before it runs out, in theory anyways. The "smartmedia" (quotes definitely necessary in this case) cards are literally disintegrating and have a tendency to throw away a few shots per dive. It's good times! ps: it's an Olympus C4000 with a Light & Motion Tetra housing (+ wetmate adapter + wide angle lens + macromate diopter). I think I have around 6000 dollars in the system, bought in 2000 & 2001... It shoots very nice pictures when the media card doesn't delete them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

surfsupcorp 1 Posted February 27, 2011 I remember when I first made the switch to digital. I got a sony mavica that recorded images to floppy disc. It held about 25 photos. I'm glad those days are over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
