Editorial Nature of the Site
StorageCalc is published as an editorial resource for photographers and videographers. All content — including articles, calculator output, FAQ entries, and retailer comparisons — reflects editorial research and opinion as of the date of publication. We strive for accuracy but cannot guarantee that all information is current, complete, or applicable to your specific situation.
Not Technical or Professional Advice
Nothing on this Site constitutes technical advice, professional photography guidance, or warranty service. The calculator on this Site is a directional educational tool. It does not test actual cards, does not measure your specific camera's output, and does not bind capacity claims of any kind.
Before purchasing memory cards for critical work, you should:
- Test the card in your specific camera with your typical shooting settings
- Read the full warranty documentation from the manufacturer
- Verify card speed class matches your camera's requirements
- Confirm the card is purchased from an authorized US retailer
Estimates Are Not Guarantees
The capacity figures produced by the calculator are estimates based on average file sizes and industry standards. Your actual capacity will depend on factors not fully captured by the calculator, including but not limited to:
- Scene content (uniform skies compress far more than detailed forests)
- ISO setting (higher ISO produces larger RAW files due to noise)
- Color depth and bit settings on your specific camera
- Camera firmware version and compression algorithm
- Specific RAW format used (uncompressed, lossless compressed, lossy compressed)
- Video codec settings (H.264, H.265, ProRes, RAW)
Real-world capacity may differ from calculator estimates by 10 to 30 percent or more.
No Financial or Purchase Advice
The Site does not provide financial, purchase, or business advice. Equipment decisions for professional work should be made based on actual testing in your specific workflow. The Site is one input among many, not a substitute for hands-on testing.
