  *The actual number of images per card will vary and depends on the camera model and complexity of the scene being
    photographed.
   Shooting in TIFF mode, the best quality mode in many high-end cameras, will reduce the number of images listed above
   significantly (approximately one-sixth).

*The actual durations of video/movie timing per card will vary and depends on the camera model and complexity of the scene being filmed.  The above chart is a estimate of MPEG1 & Motion-JPEG.
Filming in MPEG2 & MPEG4 mode in certain high-end cameras, will have a smaller file size, therefore having a longer period of recording per card.
