how much can 1 GB hold? possibly?

Question

FOR A CAMERA - i'm not sure what the resolution is cause i just ordered it but usuallly how much does 1 gig hold?

Answer 1

1 GB is 1024MB.

If your camera is about 6 Mega pixel and you are shooting in the finest JPEG mode, then each file size would be about 1.5 to 2.5 MB depending on the lens, level of details, blown highlights etc. So it can give you about 500 images. Rember, there will be some space reserved for the software.

However, if you are shooting in Raw mode, then the file size would be about 6-7 MB each for a 6 megapixel camera. So you will get about 140 images.

However, 1 GB is a big enough space if you are an amateur. You can also shoot in lower resolution mode whree the file size will be lower.

Answer 2

Theoretically 1 GB can hold approximately hold 240 Songs if you use AAC Encoder @ 128 KBPS. I have a 1 GB Sony MS Pro to use with my Sony DSC P-100 5.1 Megapixel Camera.

This is what my 1 GB Memory Stick can hold
Photos
5 MP - 384 (Fine) 723 (Std)
3 MP - 617 (Fine) 1097 (Std)
1 MP - 1482 (Fine) 2694 (Std)
VGA - 5928 (Fine) 14812 (Std)

Fine mode and standard modes are found on Sony camera's and you can see they have an impact on the storage.

Movies in 640 x 480 resolution can be recorded upto 44 mins and in lower 160 resolution it can be about 11 hours although thats not worth doing as the quality is poor.

Hope this helps...and remember 1GB doesnt give you exactly 1GB so formatted capacities vary but the estimates above take this into account.

Answer 3

based on your question catagory, I'd say your talking about a digital camera... Right? If so, then it really depends on how many megapixels you are shooting. My six mp camera holds around 100-120 pictures on a 256 mb card.

My boyfriends 10 mp cam holds around 300 pictures on a 1 gb card.

If you are a casual photographer with a low to moderate end camera, a 1 gig card will serve you well.

Answer 4

it depends ;-)

a 5mp camera will produce images of about 1.5 to 2.5MB, so a 1GB card could store about 500 of those (using the mid-point of 2MB).

the relationship is about linear, so a 7mp camera will produce files about 2.1-3.5MB, you'll be able to store about 360 of them.

and with a good slr at 10mp, your card will hold about 250 pictures.

two more things:
- you may wonder why the size varies. It varies because images are compressed into the jpeg format (.JPG extension), and how much the image can be compressed depends on its contents. An image with large areas of even colors can be compressed a lot, but one with a lot of detail cannot
- don't forget about read and write times to / from the card. For a good experience it is worth investing in a faster memory card (Extreme III and up). Slower cards will be cheaper per GB but cause frustrations in daily use.


Hope this helps

Answer 5

The answer is 1GB.

I think you are trying to ask how many pictures you can store in 1 GB. I can't answer this question because I don't know how big the pictures you are asking about are. There are different kinds of pictures that take up different amounts of memory.

Add information to the question and I'm sure we can help you better.

Answer 6

Check with your camera setting. Different resolution and pixel sizes camera will store different size of files.

Answer 7

I have a 6.3 Mpixels camera, and a 1GB card. It can hold about 680 pictures, or 15 mn of video.

Answer 8

1000 kilobytes = 1 megabyte
1000 megabytes = 1 gigabyte

Answer 9

1 GB will hold exactly 1 GB (almost) there is some 'overhead' for indexing etc.

Answer 10

Well your probably talking about mp3 players.

But it depends, most songs are 4mbs.. so 250 songs.. but your gonnna get something ranged like 230-270 because not all songs are 4mbs large.

But if your talking about computer hardware then that will hold basicly nothing.
