How much memory do
I need?
The memory card that typically comes with a digital camera
will only hold a small number of photos.
So you'll need to buy extra memory, to make the most of
your camera.
If you have an old 3 megapixel camera, a 128mb card will store around 100 images
at full resolution. Entry level cameras are now at 7 megapixels, and a 128mb
card would give you 37 photos. Memory cards
have greatly reduced in price and most amateur photographers are buying 1 or
2gb cards.
If you want to avoid running out
of memory and having to constantly download, get as much memory as you can
afford.
If you are going on
holidays buy a couple of larger memory card or consider getting portable storage
to download your photos, such as the Epson
multimedia storage units.
