please can ya help!
3 mega pixel 406 pictures on 512MB card
4 mega pixel 244 pictures
5 mega pixel 195 pictures
6 mega pixel 152 pictures
7-8 mega pixels 130/115 pictures
i didnt include 2 mega pixel cameras as they are pretty poor quality!
this is assuming you shoot at the highest resolution you can.
personally i shoot a lot of pictures and last time i went travelling i carried two 512mb, and one 256mb cards. i didn't take a 1gig card in case i lost it and lost all my pics in one go. i also backed them up online and to cd as often as i could.
hope this helps
joey
cheers buddy!!
that helps me loads!!
I travelled with a 256 mb card, but I would always back it up onto cd roughly every 150 photos(make 2 copies and post one home). I never actually filled it so don't know how much (of my crap dotty low res pictures) it holds...... So going on that, I'm sure you don't need anything bigger than a 512 card!
SD cards are so cheap now you may as well opt for a 1GB card. I've seen them for £17.50 for a well known branded one.
It's better to have too much space, than too little when 'that moment' arrives.
512 is barely enough for a few days, when I'm taking pics.
if travelling i would never leave without at LEAST a 1gig card...
and depending on the length of trip..i'd prolly get an extra card or 2 JUST in case...But i love taking pics so thats just me.
I would say it really depends where you are going. Almost all developed countries have internet cafes with new computers and cd burners. So a 512mb card plus a small backup of whatever you can get hold of, say 32mb or 128mb just to tide you over if you cant find a internet cafe at the last minute.
Then as suggested previously, I would reccomend making two copys of the photos on CD and posting one home, and keeping one on you.
Unless you are a serious photographer with a trillion megapixel camera, I couldnt see the point in 1gb memory cards. Cd's only hold about 650mb of data.
That said, if you are going hiking in the mountains for 1 month, maybe you do need a 1gb card. But they do have a internet cafe at base camp now dont they.
I don`t leave without my 1GB and 2GB Extreme III CF cards.
I get 144 pics in my 2GB CF when I shoot 8MP RAW this is nearly sufficiant for just one day shooting . I backup my card at the end of the day on an imagetank (40GB).
The prices of flashmemory are very cheap nowadays so I would suggest get the biggest card for the money. Or buy 2 smaller cards. Don`t go for less then 1GB.
cheers

same for me! no way in hell you should prepare to only use 512mb in 2 full months with no dumping, that is insane
