You are not alone in thinking that. And in recent years hard drive suppliers have taken back control of the definition of GB, so now when you buy a GB hard drive, you get ,,, bytes instead of the ,,, bytes of old. They say it makes more sense to the consumer, but long time IT guys like me think they've simply been robbed of 36,,, bytes!
It starts off really really simple, but can all of a sudden seem complicated and people just switch off. But always up for a challenge, here goes:. We people mostly count with ten digits, 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and so this system of counting numbers is called base When we run out of digits more than 9 we add a new column, 10,11,12,13, Counting in 10s is probably explained by having 10 fingers also called digits.
Computers use electronic switches to count. Think about a light switch. This gives it a way of representing two digits, 0 and 1. And this is enough to count:. The gives each successive column a base value of 2,4,8,16,32,64,,,, and so on.
As the numbers get bigger we start to abbreviate them with k kilo , m mega , g giga , t tera. However, there is nothing forcing us, as challengers to specify things using k convention. If people felt it would be less confusing to explicitly set a new lower limit of , bytes, then perhaps nobody would get confused.
The confusion has stemmed simply from the limit being expressed as kb and the historic definition of what a kb is. Of course, a lower limit may not be welcome, and I think Geralds image serves perfectly to illustrate how every byte can be precious for images with fine details and elegant tonal graduations.
Not all imaging software is created equal. Two different applications could take the same full sized file and produce an x rendering into a file size of say kb. One of them could be a high quality rendering with few artefacts, while the other could be littered with compression artefacts that destroy the tonal beauty of the image. It all comes down to the quality of the software. The kb limit serves to level the playing field somewhat by allowing higher quality renderings to be produced even when using less efficient software.
Is it worth the hefty price tag? We take a look at the Cine, the high-end model in this series. The Nikon Z9 is the company's first camera to feature a stacked CMOS sensor, which brings a raft of new features, including blazing speed and autofocus performance to the Z lineup.

If you are going for android and u have any less memory phone, adding memory card makes the phone slower.
Reading from external memory device always takes more time. We believe that for most people, GB is a great storage size to go with. With GB, you should have more than enough space for the important files that matter to you. And if you take a lot of photos with occasional video, then GB is also a great size for that. If you want to be able to download dozens of apps and mobile games on your device without hitting any limits, 10GB of storage space should give you the space you need.
Most phones today come with at least 32GB of storage space as an absolute minimum. The top of the range phone goes even further with anything from GB to GB. If you want the absolute top speed performance, no stuttering issues, lag, or any other graphical or performance hiccups, 32GB might be your ideal of good RAM.
