My 2.1MP camera gives me 30 pictures at its best (low compression) resolution on a 64MB SD card.
2.1MP is roughly 1632x1232 resolution which turns out to be about 900kb per photo (low compression) I tried to do a quick search on the web but couldnt find any better info, but I'm sure the right answer is out there, mine will give you roughly an idea. |

Thank you for clearing that up, ok new line of questions are being spawned form all that been answered do some cameras compress files of the same size better what I mean in english is
If the same picture taking with 2 different cameras camera #1 compresses a 1200X600 to 1024KB camera #2 compresses a 1200X600 to 750 KB DO cameras all have the same compression for what is beening photographyed or are some better at it? |

TIFF: Lossless image is not compressedat all 3MP picture can be 9MB
JPEG: ability to reduce an image file size by 8 or 10 to 1 without any degradation in image quality 3MP in this is about 1.5 MB about 8-10times compressed form TIFF |

Shoot at the highest quality (lowest compression, biggest file) you think you can afford memory for and the cam can handle without slowing up. Sounds like you need to search this forum for previous posts, and checkout the specs and Steve's reviews where all your questions will have been answered! If you need to know how many pics particular cams take in their modes, the info is often in manufacturers handbooks, downloaded from their websites. |
