digital camera question

[RonC]

if a camera has 6mb internal memory, how many 640 x 480 pics will it store?

 

[adodson]

If it captures in JPG, the file sizes will vary depending on the amount of compressible contrast in the image. I'm going to ballpark guess... about 30 images, maybe less.

...big grains of salt are needed with this estimate.

hundreds

thanks. i hate technology

 

[David]

ahhh.....6mb......I read 6 GB

dunno then.

 

[David]

are you sure it is mb? That is really small in regards to cards you can buy.

 

[adodson]

Some cameras come with really small built-in memory, with a slot for a not-included memory card. The included memory always seems insufficient for me. It depends on how you'll use it, I suppose. On your desk near the computer, just for shooting pictures of a cigar for immediate upload to your PC for web (not printing) might be the perfect use for 6mb of internal memory with no additional memory card.

We just bought a 4 gig card for around 70-80. More space than we will ever need.

Heres a 2GB card that will work with that:

Has built in USB so you don't even need a card reader or cables. Just take the card out and plug it into the PC.

Tom I remember saying that about a 40 MB hard drive!

Buy a bigger card than you think you will need. They are cheap now.

You never know how many pics you will store before you can transfer them yo your computer.

 

[RonC]

will follow your advice

Good choice on a camera, Ron. I have a Casio Exilim (8.2 Mp) after tons of research. Good buy!

Those should be just under a megabyte (900k) each so not many.

On my PC, I have 190 plus a 500 gig external drive.

I guess this is the same as with humidors, always buy bigger than you think you will need :rofl:

Yep. I have the Casio EXZ1050 with 10.1 MP. Easy to use and Casio came highly rated. Very, very fun camera.
