I usually shoot RAW for the reason you give, and I can get almost 400 images on this card...not bad as its 10 rolls of film.. but if I am shooting bw only for less critical uses, I can use jpeg fine and select bw mode only...which will allow me to store (as I recall) about a thousand images on the same size card.. The bw jpeg fine mode gives me excellent quality files, and while not the best obtainable, certainly more than adequate... better than most scanning of negatives... except for drum scanning. I will send you soon a couple of files from this morning, to take a look at...
