How many keepers do you get, on average?

I've gone over 1000 shutter actuations! 1014 is the current count. So far 40 keepers from today. Following on from this, what do people think of as a "keeper"? Of my 5500-odd K10D shutter actuations, I have about 35 in a "best of" gallery, where I wouldn't be actually ashamed of the experts here having a look through them, although doubtless they'd be able to find lots of faults. Then there's lots more that I certainly wouldn't want to actually delete, ranging from goodish snaps upwards. And lots more than that, that I'll probably get around to deleting eventually - I find every time I look through, I bin more that I didn't delete last time. So what do people think of as "keepers", and what sort of hit rate do you get?

It must be late or I've had a hard day, but I'm not quite sure what you mean? Sorry if I'm being dim tonight, but can you explain that?

I think he means that he shoots fewer (RAW) pictures because of space constraints. He meant to say: "I'd keep...", rather than "I'll keep...".

Thank you, George, that makes better sense. Just goes to show what a difference a couple of letters can make, especially when coupled with a very long day....

Ah well , back to my sense of stupor now.

Best regards, John
