Do I need a 2GB SD card for my camera?

Question

I was wondering how many photos and how much video a 2 GB SD card can hold. I don't take a ton of photos or video but I will be going to Washington DC soon. Would it be a good idea getting the 2 GB or should I opt for 1 GB.

Answer 1

Get a 2G card.

Answer 2

Depending on your camera, it varies how many images you can fit on each memory card.

If you have a small camera (say 5 or 6 megapixels) then a 1gb is alright as the average file size for each picture is not huge.

If you have a large camera (say 10 to 15 megapixels) then a 2gb is advisable as images taken at full resolution are usually very big as far as file sizes are concerned.

Here in England the 1GBs are about $16 each and the 2GB are about $20 each. So if you spend slightly more on a 2GB you get twice the amount of memory (allowing you to take even more pictures on either camera).

My personal recommendation would be purchasing a 2gb memory card (I have two of these myself).

Answer 4

Hi Alex,

You can never have too much memory as long as your camera supports it. I would recommend you get a 2GB card. You can find them easily under $20.

In fact go here and you can get a 2 GB SD card for $10.99 postpaid - http://www.supermediastore.com/search.ht...
