Minimum 150-200 frames for a watchable 5-7 second clip at 30fps. A 10-second clip needs 300 frames. For a 1-minute sequence: 1800 frames. More frames = smoother and more flexibility in post.
RAW file sizes: 25-50 MB each (full frame), 15-25 MB (APS-C). JPEG: 5-15 MB. For 500 RAW frames at 40 MB: 20 GB. Always bring double the calculated storage for safety.
Most mirrorless cameras get 300-500 shots per battery. DSLRs get 800-1200. Cold weather reduces by 30-50%. Use a battery grip or external power for long shoots (1000+ frames).
