Hello folks,
I was looking for information on approximate file sizes from the K-1 II, because I'm upgrading from the K-50 and wondering what SD card sizes will have comparable image capacities. I've looked around on the internet and this forum and haven't found much info, so I was curious if anyone knows where I might find this or would be willing to do a quick check on their average file sizes.
EDIT: Adam's comment below links to the K-1 review which gives a full explanation of file sizes on the K-1. Also, the reviews here of several other cameras include this information. I have added columns to my spreadsheet containing what I could find in the reviews.
I started a spreadsheet, with the goal to compile basic numbers on file sizes from every Pentax DSLR. This certainly won't provide the full picture on file sizes in different situations (lighting and ISO changes) but should serve to give a rough idea when considering if you want to use a different size SD card when switching from one model to another (my original goal).
Pentax DSLR file sizes - Google Sheets
If you have data you'd like to contribute, please reply here with the following info (it will be added to the second tab of the spreadsheet):
* Camera model
* File type (DNG, PEF, 3* JPG, 2* JPG, 1* JPG)
* Quantity of files
* Total size of all files (please include units - bytes, KB, MB, GB - and a couple digits of accuracy)
If anyone has suggestions for improving this spreadsheet, please let me know. I don't want to to make it unnecessarily detailed, but if there's something that you think would make it more informative or easier to read, I'd like to consider it. I'm not too familiar with most Pentax camera models and their various file settings, so I may need to add more columns for other file types/settings.
