Yo

128 or 256 how much pics can each hold?

Depends on the resolution naturally. I have 128, and it holds enough.

Dunno how many.

Depends on the quality of pic you're shooting. I personally have a 512 ($89 here in Dallas).

128 MB holds about 170 High rez 1600x1200 pix on both my cams..
One is a sony and the other smartmedia card.

All depends on the quality and size of the picture. an average jpg at 800x600 with good quality is going to be about 300-350k, so on a 128 card you can fit about 375.

Hope this helps.

Not sure what you mean here....each pic is about 400-900k in size and if you have the right printer and paper you can print them too without any loss in quality.

These pics are what I would call RAW and uncompressed...you can also save tiff files which are much larger in file size.

I shoot at 1600 x 1200 on a 128 Meg card and have never run out of room. But if you're going on vacation, I'd get a 256 or maybe even a 512.

You can figure for a 1600 x 1200 pic in Fine mode it'll take about 1 Meg. So on a 128 you can grab about 128 pics, the same as 3 1/2 rolls of regular film before you need to transfer the files.

Keep in mind Juicy with digital film you have Preview capabilities. So unlike film you don't generate as many wasted shots if you check them as you go.

Normally on regular film if you get 6 out of 36 perfect shots that's great. On digital they all can be perfect. So the productivity is way better and thus you normally won't need much beyond a 128 card unless you got someone willing to pose hundreds of times.

Also, make backup copies of the original raw files. I've had it twice happen where I was editing a pic, messed it up and saved the messed up version overwriting the good one. Now when I upload I store one in an originals folder that never get touched and a duplicate set for printing, editing, etc. Also back everything up onto a CD or such, in case you lose your hard drive, all your pics will be history.

I put a 256mb card in this, went on a week cruise and took pics and movies and never ran outta room over 250 pics and about 20 or so 30sec movies.

My digi cam can take 1750 pics on the lowest quality which is still really fucking good. And also 80 minutes of video footage. 128mb card!

On the highest quality its ether 80 minutes of footage or 250 pics. Obviously the more pics I take the less footage I can take with it...

I love my little digi cam
