how many pictures can one gigabyte hold?

Answer 1

It depends on the size and whether they are .jpg or .bmp

Answer 2

As everyone else says, the number of pictures will DEPEND on the quality that you are using. I use a camera that shoots 5 megapixels at 2560x1920 resolution. I get around 450 photos in safely. Theres little chance you have a camera that shoots a higher resolution than that. So you can use that as a benchmark.

Do remember - there will be a picture quality setting on the camera somewhere. The higher the quality, the larger the file size of the photo. So, you will be able to store lesser number of HIGH QUALITY photos and higher number of LOW QUALITY photos.

I suggest if you have a 1GB card, take photos at the highest possible quality. You can always transfer them to your PC and reduce the quality as and when you want but you will always wish that your best photos to be the sharpest.

Answer 3

That depends on the picture's resolution, color depth, and encoding method. A 1024x768 24-bit Windows Bitmap (.bmp) image will use about 3 Megabytes, so you can store about 350 of them on a Gigabyte. An 8-MP (megapixel) 32-bit digital camera image stored as a non-compressed JPEG will take up about 35 Megabytes of space, so you could only store about 30 of them on a Gigabyte. If you're talking about "typical" slightly compressed JPEG images that one "typically" stores on a computer, they each occupy about 100 Kilobytes of space, so you can store 10,000 of them in a Gigabyte of space.

Answer 4

It depends on the resolution(number of pixels going horizontally and vertically) and it depends on the file compression. There's a whole whack of different formatting compressions, but JPG and BMP are the most common. JPG has a higher compression rate, so it has a lower quality, making it smaller. BMP is almost fully uncompressed, so it's normally a higher quality.

Answer 5

assuming hi res JPG files
3 meg camera almost a 1:1 per meg 1 gig = 900+ shots
4 meg 1:1.5 or about 700+ images
5 meg 1:2.5 or about 450+ images
6 meg 1:3.3 or about 320+ images
8 meg 1:4 = 250+ images
10 meg 1:5.5 <200 images
12 meg 1 :8 <120 images

Answer 6

Depends on the mega pixels of the camera.

Answer 7

It depands on the size of the picture.........So get the size of your pictrue by rightclicking >properties and then calculate the results

Answer 8

LOL--This is a book you are asking for not an answer...DEPENDS is the answer...all photos are not created equal...some are more complicated than others and have more bits in them, for example color is more complicated than black and white photos...the short answer though is A LOT......NORMALLY....

Answer 9

depends on the setting of your camera, you can choose between 1,2,3,4,5 meg (picture quality) on most camera

Answer 10
