How many pictures can you take with a disposable camera?

How Many Pictures can you take on a 10 pixel camera with a 1 GB memory card?

• I am thinking of buying this camera which is a 10 megapixel camera, and I have a 1GB memory card that I have never used.But,I am worried it won't hold and take as many pictures on my camera.

• Answer:

  1GB isn't really a very large capacity these days, especially with newer cameras having more MP (which means larger file sizes) and also video recording (which are VERY large file sizes). How many images you can shoot with a 10MP camera, really depends on which particular make and model you have, because not all 10MP cameras are the same. For instance a 10MP Canon compact camera will allow approx. 220 high quality images per 1GB. And a 10MP compact Kodak camera will allow approx. 350 high quality images per 1GB. Other camera brands would probably fall into this range. So, you can see that it all depends on the which brand of camera you have. The 1GB card will be fine for now, but you may also want to consider buying another one if you find it's not adequate for your needs. Cards are dirt cheap, anyway, so you could easily buy another one if you had to. 2GB would be a good minimum. p.s. don't forget to Format your brand new memory card in the camera MENU before you use it...and everytime you need to delete ALL the files from it in one go. Check your camera's manual on how to do this.
