how many pictures does a 64mb memory card hold?

Answer 1

You did not specify the pixel count of your camera. I have an example for 5 MP cameras. You can look this over and do the math for your camera if it is different.

You also must understand that this information is based on using the highest resolution, largest image a 5 MP camera can produce. If you use smaller sizes, the storage capacity increases immensely.

Put the card in your camera and see how many frames it says you can still hold on the card. That's the only really accurate way. Well, even that is an approximation, because the camera does not know how large your next picture will be. It's like your car predicting how many miles of fuel you have remaining in the tank when it doesn't know if you are about to smach the gas pedal to the floor. For instance, if you take a picture with a lot of more-or-less uniform sky in it, the memory used for a full 5 MP picture will be considerably lower than a 5 MP picture with huge amounts of detail.

If you are thinking of buying a 64 MB card and don't have one to check by putting in your camera, look in your owner's manual.

If you lost your manual, you can do some estimates and some calculations. A 5 MP camera will make files about 3-3.5 MB in size for an "average" full size, maximum resolution picture. Sometimes more and sometimes less. The theoretical MAXIMUM would be 5 MB, right?

64 million divided by 5 million = 12 pictures.

If the file size if more like 3.5 MP, though:

64 million divided by 3.5 million = 18 pictures.

Do the math to draw your own conclusions about lesser file sizes.

If you shoot a mid-size photo with "normal" resolution, you might even be able to get about a thousand on the card. Check your manual for details.

Personally, I'd consider getting a bigger card, unless your camera is only 3.0 or smaller...

Answer 2

Depends on what size the pic files are. 1000 KB pic files gives you around 60.......100 KB files gives you around 600. Have a look what size pic files you are taking and divide 64000 KB by the size in KB for an approximate number. you can also set the size of files in you camera as in best, normal, or low. Best being the smallest number of pics available on your 64 MB card.

Answer 4

it depends on the amount of megapixels
it also depends on wether or not you are gonna use the video part of your camera
