divide 24MB by 8 megapixels

You will see a variety of answers because there are more than the two variables in your question to consider.

Almost all digicams use JPEG compression to reduce the size of stored pics. Otherwise, 24MB memory would only store 1 pic (1 x 8mp x 3 color bytes = 24 MB).

If you take pics at 8mp, they start out with the 8 million pixels. Each pixel uses 3 color bytes (red, blue, green). So it takes 24 MB to represent the pic.

JPEG figures out where there are duplicate pixels, so uses a short code to represent those matches. Many pictures have so many duplicates that the file size is reduced by more than 80%. Some are not reduced that much, but it still serves as a decent estimating average.

So, 24MB pic x 20% = 4.8 MB pic
24 MB memory divided by 4.8 MB pic = 5 pics

Bottom Line: You need to buy at least a 512 MB card (more if you will use video too), to hold 100 pics on your new camera.

Good Luck

Each photo will be approximately 2.5MB to 4MB, depending on how much the camera can compress it (which depends on the subject, colours, etc).

So you'll fit between 6 and 10 photos on 24MB of camera memory.

So clearly you need to buy a memory card, at least large enough for, say, 100 shots. Which means 512MB to be on the safe side. Now if you plan to take your camera on longe trips and/or are not the kind of person who deletes bad shots soon after they were taken, then you will want a bit more space and go for a 1 or 2GB card.

For an 8mp camera you will want a fast card, too, such as a Sandisk Extreme III, or else you'll suffer from slow response times when taking shots, viewing shots, transferring data, etc.

The good news is that those cards have become quite affordable.


Hope this helps

Hi, I recommand you to try google picasa.

picasa is a Google's photo software. It's what should've come with your camera.

It can Edit , organise and Share you picture and small video flips.

It's very easy to use and is free, just like Google

each pic will probably take 5-7MB if you're using the high quality setting on the camera.
Plan on buying at least 512MB card.
