Higher resolution os, you can use that older card with your older digital and get yourself a new media card. I use SanDisc Extreme III in both my wife's (Fuji S5000) and my (Canon XTi) digital cameras, quality cards make a difference. Try a 512MB, 1GB OR A 2GB card.

Your older camera probably was lower resolution (fewer megapixels) while your newer camera is higher resolution (more megapixels).
What this means is that your newer camera makes picture files that are much bigger and which take up more space on your memory card.
You probably should get a bigger memory card for the new camera. But in the meantime, there's a few things you can do to get more photos on the old card:
1) select a resolution that's smaller
2) select the lowest quality setting (sometimes called "basic")
3) format the card after you've offloaded the photos, so the old photos aren't taking up space.
A new card will cost you $20 to 30 and be much bigger.

It's nothing to do with high tech...it's just that the newer camera's photo file sizes are much larger. This is because your photos are of a much higher quality. It's always best to shoot photos in the highest resolution/quality setting offered by the camera.
The first thing you should have done is to Format the memory card in your new camera. This is done in the Menu (check your user manual).
Anyway, the old memory card is obviously much too small, so all you need to do is buy a new one. 1-2GB is a good minimum size you should buy.
Don't forget to format it first..

It depends on what resolution you have set to take pictures.
for eg: 640x480, 1200 etc. Greater the resolution(pixel) lesser the pictures you can store. set the lowest resolution and check how many pictures you are allowed to shoot. You need to know some technical aspects like Resolution, zooming (Optical/Digital), Memory (Internal/Extended). Do know all these things of your digicam. It will surely help you a lot. HAve a great shoots in future. :-)

It's because the new one takes higher quality pictures, and thus each one uses more memory.
You might have your camera set to shoot in RAW format. That would be the highest quality available. Go into your menu and adjust picture size lower.

I checked with the HP internet site and your digicam makes use of a widespread SD reminiscence automobiles. Its exceptionally much everywhere. cell telephone shops, digital shops, pc shop, digicam shops. only usher in the place ever and ask for a SD card. carry your digicam in case you are able to desire to make optimistic.

part of it yes. some of it may be that it has more megapixles. you may want to go in the settings and lower the quality of it. or get a bigger memory card.
