Does it really make a difference what size memory card you use? To your camera, no; to you, however, it could mean the difference between running out of space or getting the picture you want on your memory card.

Take into account how many pictures you usually take at a time, when choosing the most logical size . Your needs if you are a world traveler’ll be different from those of a person who only uses a camera for holiday get-togethers. You also need to decide how big the files are of the pictures you take. Smaller file such as pictures for online will take less space and enable you to fit more on the card. Larger file for printing will need alot room.

128MB is usually enough, if you have a 2 mega-pixel camera, . For a 3 or 4-megapixel

camera, a 128MB or 256MB memory card is usually plenty. For a 5-megapixel camera, start with a 256MB memory card.

Here’s a rough guideline of how many pictures a flash memory card can hold:

*A 128MB flash memory card can store about 21-41 large, uncompressed images or up to 100 small, compressed images. This is good enough for most photographic needs.

* 42-82 large pictures and nearly 200 smaller ones, a 256MB card will store about twice . Once in a lifetime events might warrant this size just to make sure you don’t miss that one special moment, important events like weddings .

If you are planning a long vacation with a lot of picture taking, this might be best with the capacity to hold 168-328 large images and a total of close to 800 smaller images, a 1GB card has room for nearly 4 times as much as a 256MB card.

Remember you can always use several smaller cards and just change them when they are full, whatever you decide . So don’t panic if you don’t have a large memory card, It only takes a few seconds to switch memory cards .
