| oh dear... I just did the math. I use the canon 10D so it records the pictures even if I delete them right away. I have it set to number sequentially. Right now it creates a directory 248Canon, and the hundred pictures that will be in it are 4801 to 4900. So each folder contains 100 pictures (taken not saved) However the canon file structure starts at 100, so 248-100 is the number of folders, 148 and each folder represents 100 so 14800... I took the first picture with this camera April 18th. I have only taken the first 15 pictures of folder 248 so subtract 85, 14715 pictures.... /24 is over 613 rolls... since the middle of April... That is pretty insane when I look at that... One the bright side I have gotten much better in that time, great camera to practise on. |

Be careful of the downside, too. I'm sure most people benefit from the speed of the learning curve, but for others, the fact that they can delete a shot imediately without having to pay the processing fee leads them into laziness: not thinking so much about the shot because they know that they can simply try alternatives later. |

Sorry if I was unclear. The 1GB compactflash chip holds 15 rolls at a time, or one afternoon worth. I just checked what folder number (each folder is 100 pictures taken not saved to the computer) and it seems I have 148 folders on my hard-drive. Which I fully admit is crazy, but the math does not seem to change no matter how many times I look at it.

I still agree that the economics of digital favor those who shoot a great number of pictures. I would hate to have paid for all the film and developing for all the digital pictures I have taken.

Hmm, have to look but the reason I got into photography was on a 10 day vacation took 94 rolls of film so 10 days = 2256 photos. (and that was a point and shoot camera)
I currently use a Canon 10D, with a 1GB Chip, In large jpg format that takes about 360 pictures. (ie 30 rolls at 24 pictures per roll). That is an afternoon or about 3 hours normally. (I take an laptop for downloading if I am going to be shooting for longer then that) I do wild-life shoots and take sequences of pictures trying to anticipate the animals actions. Different angles, different ISO speeds, different bracketting... My husband and I had figured I would pay for the cost of the Canon 10D (plus a few extras) in three years just based on film processing cost alone. But I have found I am taking and trying more things now that I have a digital. |

I have a friend who, every time he saves 50 images to his hard-drive puts a £1 in a jar towards a pro DSLR... He does it on shots saved as he just blasts away in the field... ONly things worth keeping get saved to his hard-drive...
I hope you people with 20,000+ shots have a good backup!!

I bought my previous camera, a Minolta DiMage 7, on April 24, 2002. Between that time and when I bought my 10D on July 7, 2003, (just over 14 months) I shot somewhere over 6,500 photographs.
Since I bought the Canon EOS-10D on July 7, I have shot 748 photographs.

12,500 with my D60 (since December last year) about 16,000 with my G2 (since the previous year) so a little over 28,000 exposures in 2 years, or 777 rolls of film - so I'm just about breaking even I think.
Backing up to DVDs but a lot of the shots were purely for the purpose of learning so not worth keeping. Shutter MTBF is about 30,000 (though I've seen claims up to 400,000) so my D60 has about another year of useful life before it'll need repairing/ replacing.

| I have been going digital for some years now. During my Olympus time I took about 50.000 pictures that I have saved (CD:s and DVD:s). And now for the last 5-6 weeks I have tested my New 10D and taken round 6000 shots (kept 2000). |

carsten your shots to keepers ratio is much higher than mine.. 3to1... I'm more like 10 or 12to1

Oh, my... All these numbers being thrown around. Let me ask you a different question?
How many of all these pictures were actually good ones, carefully thought out, with sound composition, well focused, deserving a ribbon? :-))))
I guess there would be another thread for answering this one, right?
As for me, I have about 2,400 photos with my Olympus 4000Z that I bought 3 month ago. And I think for every 70 taken I get one that is a worth submitting here. So that's about 10 good images per month. I am being brutally honest.
So how about you? |

Hmm, for me between 1/50 and 1/100 maybe, worthy of being here (although since I just joined have not posted yet) maybe even a high ratio since doing animals I have less control of the subject and lighting then I would like. (and that is not including shots for practising techique I took literially hundreds of pictures of bubble-bees as models to improve my technique.) The other interesting question is of those you like say a year ago, how many still meet your "good enough" standard. One of the advantages of having other critique and reviewing yourself is get a better eye for what works and what to take. The pictures I am putting on my wall as "bests" have more recent ones then older ones.
