256mb memory card how many pics can it hold?

Question

how many pictures can a powershot sd1000 hold with a 256mb memory card

Answer 1

At 7.1 Megapixels it should hold about 75.   If you make it 5.0 megapixels you should be able to hold about 95.  If you're taking most of your pics with friends, make it 5.0 megapixels because you don't need a high resolution for that.  If you're taking pictures of a landscape, then increase your resolution to 7.1.  You should be able to take more pictures if you do this.

Answer 2

It depends on what setting you put it. You can adjust how many pixels to use when taking pictures with a digital camera. The lowest setting, usually called VGA, takes the least number of pixels and is good for pictures to be used online. At this lowest setting, each picture takes only about 200 kilobytes, so a 256MB card can hold more than a thousand pictures. Higher settings take up a larger amount of space so you can store less, but the picture quality is better (and bigger) especially if you are going to print pictures. If you are going to print an 8 x 10 picture, for example, you should take the picture at a 5 megapixel setting at least. At 5 megapixels, a 256mb card can hold about 50 pictures. Consult your manual or check  your camera to see what picture settings are available.

Tip on making the most of your space:  use the setting that is appropriate for what you are intending to use the picture for. You don't need to use the highest setting (which takes up a lot of space) unless you plan use the picture professionally or you are going to print an 8" x 10" or larger picture.

Answer 3

depends upon the picture size...........but it can hold upto 250 pictures of standard size.
