Yeah, this hits hard if one is shooting videos in 4K (and why would one not use the highest resolution that’s supported?).

Photos, unless chosen to be shot in RAW and the highest resolution at all times, are comparatively not as big a deal on space used with the HEIC format (choose High Efficiency as the format in the camera settings).

Since most people tend to keep all or most of the photos they ever shot over the years on their phones, it just adds up.

It’s true. On the plus side, it’s only a couple hundred gig for multiple hour 4K recordings. The compression is pretty good.

Size/cost/quality wise, that’s so much better than old school VHS/camcorders it makes my head hurt.

Pretty awesome for sure. Still no free lunch though.
