MB/s for 25fps at 640x480?

Jun 23, 2005 2:49PM PDT

Does anyone know how many MB/s it takes up to record 25fps at 640x480? I'm thinking about buying a digital camera that can record at that but I'm not sure how much it will be able to hold depending on the MB/s rate. It records in AVI format with WAV sound.

Is in the specs sheet of the camera. dpreview.com and even Cnet.com may have this if you missed it.

All camera makers use some sort of compression on video clips. They also use different formats.

You have to depend upon the manufacturers specification for accurate results.

Knowing what camera you are contemplating would be helpful.
