A very common question for those who are willing to buy a
digital camera - or just bought one and want to buy a new
memory card is knowing which capacity the memory card should
have.It’s a question we can’t answer for sure, because the
pictures are stored in JPEG format, which uses data compression
and which final size depends on several factors. But we can give you
a general idea. On the table below we show the average size of a
picture taken in several different resolutions and how many pictures
fit in a card depending on the resolution used. Therefore, a camera
with 3 megapixels with a card of 64 MB will store around 53 pictures.
Notice that those values are estimate.
