If you're taking 180 photos at a car show, then you're correct and you
are not "most people" ... most people visiting a car show don't even
take a camera with them, and even most of those that do have a camera
don't take anywhere near 180 photos.

Since most people don't change (or even know to change) the default
settings on the camera, they usually can't even fit 180 of the
overly-high resolution photos in the camera's memory.
