Digicam question

[jnevin]

Does it matter what kind of memory card you get? I'm an e-tard through and through. I can kind of email and post horribly on here.

Well you have to get one designed for your camera. After that it depends on how many pics you want to be able to take before you need to download the pics and/or delete them. The larger the Mb on the card the more pics you can take.

Just saw so many different kinds and didn't know if it really mattered. Brand, etc.

I don't think brand really matters. SANDisk has been around forever and I think they sell it at SAM'S Wholesale Clubs CHEAP.

Let's say you're going to take quite a few pictures each day for a week-long vacation before you ever get a chance to download them onto your computer. If you have a 3.1 Megapixel camera and you take the largest pictures your camera can take, they'll be around 500 KB each. So, with a 128 MB card, you could take around 250 pictures on one card before having to move them off the card and onto your computer. That would be around 35 pictures per day for a week.

Sweet. That's what I was looking for too. Appreciate that, k for you.
