Question

How much does a 16mb camera hold? (picture wise)

Answer 1

somewhere around 32 =]

Answer 2

You might be able to get up to 50 :]

Answer 3

Basically nothing when shooting at the cameras highest resolution.

Bottom line?  Don't pick your camera by the amount of internal memory.  At best it is a reserve memory if you fill your memory card and don't have a spare with you ... in reality, it is the memory used to "test" the camera in the store so the store does not have to supply a memory card for each camera on display.

At the cost of memory cards now (4GB CF's are $22 right now), it makes no sense to not buy at least one 1GB  card ... two would be better

Answer 4

Depends on the resolution of the picture. Most photos taken at full resolution on an 8mp camera are around 1-2mb so about 8-16 of them would fit on a 16mb memory card. Basically 16mb is not enough.
