Hi
Not sure if this is the right forum, but can anyone help on time-delay photography?
I tried it recently taking 1 medium jpeg per sec, up to 999 shots on my D7000, but it crashed out after 600 or so.
My memory card if 30mb/s so should be ok, but I wonder if the buffer got full.

Any tips/techniques that anyone would like to share would be great.

you haven't mentioned the size of the memory card nor the size of the medium jpgs that your camera creates.
 
If it got as far as 600, the buffer isn't the issue, it would have fallen behind long before then. As Harvey says, was the memory card full? Also, if you're searching, I think you'll do better looking for Time Lapse (not time delay, assuming I correctly understand what you mean).
 
*** for the ideas, but the memory card was a 16GB card, file size was jpeg medium which on my camera means the card can take 5,600 pictures.
The battery seemed OK, only being a bit below full when it stopped.
I thought that maybe 1 pic/second was asking too much?
Any further thoughts?
 
So it's doubtful it was the mem card, however you saying the battery was just below full seems a little odd. Your camera can take on average 850 shots on a single charge, so after 600 shots it should have only had about 1/4 power left.

According to some reviews I've read the buffer, even when full can take 1 RAW per second while the buffer writes to card so I doubt it would struggle with med jpgs.

You need to recharge battery, empty mem card and try again and see what happens.
