A lot, but what size pictures do you want? If you want highest quality, then you'll get many less than if you want "suitable for 3x5 prints" for example. For the highest quality your camera makes you should get well over 50 of those humongous pics that a lot of people post here. For 800x600 pixels that you can see without scrolling across the browser, something close to infinite - several hundred.

 

But it really depends on an awful lot of things.

Take eight or ten pictures and then put the card in a reader, or plug the camera into the computer using the usb cord. Find the average size of the pictures and divide 512 by that number and you should get a pretty close approximation of how may pictures will fit on the card.

 

My Sony Cybershot 7.2 averages about 3 meg per picture on highest quality. I would recommend getting a one meg mem card and shooting at the highest quality the camera offers. There are many utilities that will resize a picture for posting but if you want to get a print made or crop a section of a picture you will need that extra data provided by the higher quality setting.

One GIGabyte card.

 

Heh. Glad I never do that.

Sure you can, with a few caveats - Most public email programs such as hotmail, yahoo, limit the size of your attachments. You may have to send each picture in a separate email!.

 

There are various public sites that specialize in uploading pictures (photobucket, etc.), but check to see that they do not limit the quality of the uploads, as well as the content - Some will not allow any porno.

You can, but depending on the file size and number of pictures, this could take rather a long time. It would probably be better to use a flash drive (I know nothing about these) or a seperate external hard drive. The external hard rive also serves as a useful means of backing up important data etc.

Email is not a good solution. It's slow (using valuable bar time) and not all that dependable.

 

On the road, if you have too many pix and no laptop of your own, the best solution is a USB (thumb) drive. A one-gig USB is very cheap, especially compared with the time of emailing or the value of your pix to you.

Good one,I too appreciate a bit of humour!

You could download all your photos onto disc. Re-writable discs are inexpensive and take up little space.

I am a novice too but am getting there step by step.

Don't have to be rewritable. Just get plain old CD-R as they are called, in any shop around town. Every time you empty the card, burn it onto a CD. The card is 512MB, the CDs are around 700MB, no problem. Take them home, copy off the pix on any computer.

Just purchased a 1GB memory card for my camera and it gives a breakdown on the back of the packaging. I looked up your camera and its 8 megapix which would give you 301 photos on a 1GB. I would assume that a 512 would be half of that.

 

So its 150 and a half photos. Just make sure when you're taking the half photo that you get the right bits in!!!

Having a small camera on hand that takes half decent video will also make for some fun memories to look back on. You might end up using more video... a two gig card will leave plenty of room for video and quality pics...my 2baht.
